Buy new shit and then find out that what i had that i got new was fubared to begin with, been through 2 H/U's, multiple sets of speakers and comps from all kinds of different problems as in surrounds ripping at the cone on one set or on another set ripping on the basket side and another set ripping the spider next to the damn coil. UGHHHHH Then buying an amp on ebay that i had hooked up that worked when i received it only to put it away for a few months and then go to use it and the damn thing is blown, not to mention all the blown subs from a bad h/u.
Adventures in audio i guess, if you don't walk into a store and buy everything on the spot and have it hooked up it always seems to be something that goes awry and cascades downhill from there.
EDIT: Oops forgot to answer the question, i never quit i will get to the end of that tunnel come hell or high water.
