Where did you get your system and how much was the total cost?

^ hah, I would hope so too. For your sake..

Kenwood Excelon - $250 (Magnolia)

Diamond D6 - $200 (Magnolia)

Diamond D3800.1 - $230 (shipped eGay)

Boston 4" Coax - $70 (Magnolia)

...going to leave this one and maybe start a new project.

Total: $650

 
I think all the tools & materials for installs has cost me close to $500+.

That's not including the basics that I already had.

Air compressor, air nailer, router, jigsaw, cordless screwdriver, screws, nuts, bolts, sander, etc, etc, etc...

If I had to guess on my products' cost I'd say around $3k over the span of 3 years.

Here lately I won't buy anything new unless it's something rare. I just jump on a forum or wait it out. I bought my processor used, 4-channel used, and tweeters used. Probably saved $300 alone on those 3 items.

 
My current system:

Rainbow Germs $475.00 (used-forum)

Dayton 7" Mids RS180's $65.00 (used-forum)

Focal Coax's $100 (new-ROE store)
