Herokight Posted June 9, 2012 Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 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. 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 Dude, my big rebuild I'm planning keeps getting bigger. My budget for subs and speakers was $3k. It's now gotten to about $5k in speakers and subs alone. Lane AKA HeroKight '96 Jeep Cherokee Classic 4x4 R.I.P. Molliboo $200 for new tires, on a jeep!? Is she stealing them or building them with a heat gun and rubber bands? You hear that????That's a category 5 shit storm coming n8: hey you doing today.

System... psh- I don't want to think about it. Easy 4-5 times that. Ever since I have been creeping on SMD for the last 2 years I have always thought about this factor but I finally decided to make a thread about it. I know you can make and POS vehicle loud so i'm just curious here. The system can always move on, the car is just the carrier My Red zx2 Build Log My Black zx2 Build Log My Red zx2 UBL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was talking to a buddy who said they spent almost $100 on RCA's for their build and I think that's the most discouraging part of deciding to do a good build.
