Your Equipment vs. Your Ride


Recommended Posts

So I know most of the people on this forum like me love their car audio equipment. But I'm curious as to how many people here have more money into their system than the car that it's in.... I'll start first

My car was bought used (it's a 1998 ford escort zx2) for $3500

Car audio that has gone into it has been the following

rear speakers: $100

front speakers: $100

Head Unit (DEH-P5000UB): $20

Subwoofers

before

bazooka tube 8" 50wrms: $80

current

VVX-12D4: $150

Next (already purchased)

DC audio 12" lvl 4 m2 D2: $330

misc: $200

Total is about $930..... $930 that I could have spent on something else more useful but I am definitely greatful on what I spent it on.

Spend $6200 on the car, and about $700 on the system. I could go into detail, but I don't feel like it right now.

$200 for new tires, on a jeep!? Is she stealing them or building them with a heat gun and rubber bands?

any audiophile goes through many rebuilds again and again. I didn't include my failures (with the exception of the fuckin bazooka tube SMH) but I feel like a lof of people on here can say that the equipment in their car is worth more than the car itself lol. I need to get some serious dampener for my old ass rattling car lol..... more money to overcome the price of the car... eventually my car will just be a big fuckin subwoofer that I'm driving lol

Got my car for 7k 5 yrs ago idk how much it's worth now but I got

6 d3100

2 3500 sundown

4 dc 15s

Cresendo highs

Pionner tv

Rockford 1000.4 cp

200ft wire

I think I got 8k in to it at least

If only I had the space for equipment and speakers like you do... you can't do too much with a 2 door coup lol

It's seriously hard to keep track of everything that goes into it because the audiophile in you is constantly fantasizing of ways to make the car louder and louder

spent 4150 on the tahoe, stole that son of a bitch, and got 3700 in the system so far.

good deal man. I've driven a large vehicle like that for a while until I totaled it on my way to work.... my dad wasn't happy that I totaled his silverado lol
