if you volunteer to drive your mom to the salon just so you can listen to your stereo.

if you work at the local stereo shop for free.

if your car has a HO alternator, but with a low output engine.

if your watching a show on discovery about electricity and when the guy says something about kilowatts it makes you think of your system.

if instead of saying" I need a stereo for my car" you say "I need a car for my stereo". :hilarious

yeah thats so true , one of my best friends has a whole system and keeps ordering morecrap and constantly trying to improve his system and he doesnt have a car ... his stuff just sits in my garage so we can occasionally hook it up to my car

 
You just might be obsessed with car audio when you have a horrible nightmare about losing your subs in a pink slip DB drag, wake up, then run out to the car in the morning and hug your subwoofers, all teary eyed. "I'll never do that to you! I promise!"

 
You might be obbssesed if you have enough equipment in your house to make six complete systems but only own two cars. Not to mention having 3 13W7's but only installing one in a 2001 Celica.

I'm the same way with my vintage home audio units. My closet in my apartment contains 6 dormant amps/recievers/EQs currently and I am using another for my computer. I have another 2 processors coming in the mail from Detroit in a week or so. Plus, my dad's house has 4 more units that I need to mess around whenever he visits me or I go back to my hometown which I will probably not go back to until Thanksgiving/Christmas, if ever.

 
You might be obsessed with car audio if all you ever do when you have free time and nothing else to do is sit and browse car audio forums all day long. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/nerd.gif.c6fa51ddf7ff75f1c0371fbc648f70ae.gif hehe im guilty. :p

amen to this

 
You might be obsessed with car audio if, you buy more car audio stuff before paying rent.
You might be obsessed with car audio if you skip meals to finish an install.

You might be obsessed with car audio if you have been pulled over more than once for breaking noise laws.

You might be obsessed with car audio if you have more than 3 test sound cds that you listen to for fun.
