What to do with equipment?

[budahbuddy803 10+ year member]

Well, i totaled my car a few weeks ago, but was able to retrieve all of the audio equipment. I have a tiny hole in my surround of my idmax which is not really a big deal. I will not have a car for possibly an entire year so i was wondering what you guys do with audio equipment you dont use.

I have the alpine 9835, id cx62s, cdt tw24s, idmaxv3d2, and alpine mrvf450 all just sitting in my room, but i dont think i want them out.

Do you guys leave your stuff out on display, hide it all in a bonus room or something, or package it all up and store it? I have a few boxes, but not one for my tweeters or subwoofer.

Sorry this is kind of pointless, i just havent posted anything on here in a while due to the wreck and i missed you guys.

I'd sell it. The new maxs are going to get cheaper, and that means yours will lose value. Everything is just going to lose value.

you think so?? I dont think i would get very much for any of it, and i didnt pay too much for it in the first place anyway. I really liked my system. I might sell my tweeters and try to get some ID ones, but me not having a car to put them in really delays my drive to want to mess with it.

Buy a decent 12v power supply and mess around with it in your garage.

Well that's what I did.

They shouldn't lose too much value, but overall, in a year, I would think 100-200 dollars maybe total.

I would love to do that.... i would run it all in my room instead of a garage though. Where do i look for a 12v power supply/

Try **HERE** for a power supply. I opted to get the more expensive version that also functions as a rapid charger.

I made money on a us amps I bought once actually. It was a pre buyout, and I sold it for 700$.

I should have bought the Zapco 9.0 I was bidding on, they gave me a second chance offer right around $600 bucks, and now those things are getting pretty rare.

Thanks guys, i think im going to try to run it in my room. What kind of boxes should i use for the mids and sub? something like .2cuft for the mid and like 2.3cuft@26hz for the sub?

Dont sell it whatever you do.

It would be pointless because you would have to spend more money eventually to get new stuff to put in your car.

Hey, if you sell thsoe tweeters let me know. My Type-R tweets are too harsh and I would like tot try somethign different.

 

[budahbuddy803 10+ year member]

i will not sell these.... only thing i might sell is my tweets to find some ID tweets. I think im going to try to run one of those power converters. Do i just run my power and ground to my amp and cd player and plug it in? That seems awesome.
