Lets face it, times are tough. Even if car audio is a luxury, I still got to have my fix. What have you done to save an extra buck and still get the same performance?
buy used..Last thing i bought new was a mtx 1501d like 5 years ago..
Now i run a pa1800d (1400rms) and 2 12" type r's (both speratley on ebay)...Best 175 shipped bucks i've ever spent on a system.
When i was young i always bought new. Granted i did always find the best deal around rather be at a site orebay..Never kicked myself in the *** by the price i paid. I never screwed myself nearly as much as people buying jl's retail..
