My worst in car wasn't too bad but I have had some ridiculous stuff in my room before!

My car was a setup with two MTX 8000 12s powered by an MTX 2300x (badass amp) and then I had a terrible mids/highs setup. I used some old Bose 6.5 component set from my room (they were bookshelf speakers with a 3/4" fabric tweeter and 6.5" midbass) in the back of my 93 mirage, with some polk 4" speakers on the dash and two infinity reference 5.25s in the front doors that I cut into to put them there. All those drivers were wired in parallel to my little MTX 250 amp. The mids/highs were retarded loud and basically just screamed at you. The Bose mids would distort like crazy and I soon replaced them with some Kenwood coaxials that weren't as ridiculous. I installed all that when I was 15 and it was still my sisters car haha.

I registered just to post this.

My first car, which I bought for $1000 was a 1982 Volvo 242DL. It had a bullet hole in the roof (Sealed with epoxy) but was a great little ride. It didn't even come with a HU, just a gaping hole where one once was. I was able to fit a off-brand battery powered portable CD player and a pair of battery-powered computer speakers and fit them in the HU slot.

That was my source of tunes for over a year.

hmmm my worst install... 4" pioneer coaxials up front, 5.25" coaxials in the rear, an eclipse SW6200 (I think?) in a 1 cube sealed box, and an MTX 250 watt 2-ch amp powering the sub, bridged. Speakers powered by my old $80 Pioneer deck. Ah those were the days.

LOL. wow back in the day (like 1988 or so)... In my CHEVETTE I was rocking a mess of stuff that was given to me.. 1 15" Rockford sub, 2 10" Orion subs, 1 Sherwood 240 amp, 1 Punck 150 hd (best part of that system) JVC PULL-OUT Cassette player (yes, we used to carry our effing radio's around the mall like a bunch of hard asses... bag phones and pagers too!), 6.5" coaxes in the doors that were a major hack job install... Prolly running 8ga power wire MAX 1/0 was unheard of then, and 4ga was for the SERIOUS people LOL

My worst setup is 2 10 inch mtx 4500 with a planet audio 400 rms amp. Had 4 awg for the amp. Had a friend tell me how to set it up and all. After that I got into caraudio. But I was unaware that the gain was supposed to be set correctly. Ooops. It was in a sealed box, and I thought I was loud as ****, and so did everyone else. I was cool lmao. Then the gain problem caught up with me later, and the amp fried to a heavy hitting song. I though it was the subs for the longest time, untill I got a new amp and set the gain high on it also lol. But then I wanted a xbox 360, so I traded all that **** for the 360.

just recently. new wiring for big 3, 1/0 batt to back, 2 kenwood amps, 2 kenwood speakers. in a prefab sealed box.

had an issue that already existed on the car. had to rip everything apart to resolve the issue.

issue was entire cars voltage was flipping out with bass. turns out somehow the terminal cups on the prefab box was shorting out.

biggest pain in the ass install..

Don't think I had a crappy first system. Had polk components up front. Powered by a kicker amp. For subs had two MTX subs in a ported box made by my grandpa and me run off of a mtx amp. It wasn't the cheap **** mtx stuff either it was the good shiat. Had one yellowtop up front and back with 0 gauge to the back. It was good and sold it for more than i paid so it worked out well.
