Bradprobert Posted March 8, 2014 Report Share Posted March 8, 2014 I'm 17, and my dad payed for half of my system and the truck. I did about a year and a half of research on what I wanted. I only have 2 8s but I'm louder than the guy with 4 18s at my school. He doesn't know half of what he thinks he is doing. Don't get me wrong he has cheap stuff. If his stuff was set up correctly it would be 3x as loud.

EP95 Posted March 8, 2014 Report Share Posted March 8, 2014 my dad bought Me subs to. I'm talking about the super rich kids don't respect what they have..or care I know somebody just lke that. He played football for 1 season so his dad bought our school a 10 million dollar field, then he stopped caring about football. before he bought his w6(which actually does sound good, all considering) he blew 2 pairs of RF slim subs, 3 pairs of those cheap kickers from walmart, went through 2 headunits, and then bought his w6( a $500 sub) for $900. all in a brand new 50 thousand dollar toyota truck, jacked up on 35"s.

Ahmed Johnson Posted March 8, 2014 Report Share Posted March 8, 2014 i just spent 6 hours today, 4 hours last week doing a install on a 97 ws6. the kid (against My wishes) bought 2 jl w7 tens ($275 for one $300 for the other) 2 jl 500/1v1s. ( what he listened to) was he bought a really nice pioneer flip out touch screen, a nice 0g wiring kit with two 4g distro out, lots of deadner(still need install) he also bought all speakers front And back ten speakers all together. as i said just spent 6 hours finishing the subs amps and a few speakers. we get in and i start showing him what everything does. it's his first system(not bad) explaining what a hz Is what the gain does blah blah. crank the volume and it sounds good... kinda. i pop the trunk and... are you fucking kidding me? the one jl w7 he bought (that came with the amp that had maxed out gain and boost) was Blown. well not Blown but coil rub. it sounds good at full volume but low its all.hear. i just felt so bad! he called the kid saying he wants his money back cuz its on its way out. the kid said you've had it for Two weeks and it worked fine when i had it! then hung up. that pissed me off. so what started As a great day doing what i love turned into me wanting to find and hurt someone! no i was not with him when he bought anything,.or this wouldn't have happened speaker wire is now hidden. i hated watching all his excitement just wash away from his face! It's still a very clean install. You did what you could do with the equipment he had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigManAC Posted March 13, 2014 Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 When you try and explain the advantages and disadvantages of different setups but all the guy can ask is "so will it be louder than so-and-so or you?" And I'm trying to help him decide btwn a single HDS210 or two sundown E8's going in his trunk under the rear seat. smh. The good thing however is he actually came to me for advice this time unlike the last two time where he asked me to help him and after I did pick out some decent equipment for his budget he would go out and spend way more than he told me on subs and amps that were horrible for the money (ex: kicker 1000w amp for $400) 2001 Saturn L200-Sony MEX-BT4100PFRONT STAGE:- (4) Crescendo PWX 6- Cadence XA250.2SUB STAGE:-Fi Audio BL 15 (Sealed Off)-Crescendo BC2kELECTRICAL:- Singer 240A alt - XS Power D3400- SkyHigh OFC power/speaker wire- Big 3 with SkyHigh 0gaugeBuild Log: Click HereScores: 146.5db @ 29hz Outlaw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
