Crandis16 Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 my shit keeps on breaking too. I get the sub, blow it. I recone the sub, the dust cap pops off. I solder the leads on the push terminals, the solder breaks. I'm just waiting for something next to go wrong. If I had done it right the first time this wouldn't have happened and I would be a happy camper. Sucks though, I usually resort to booz, top gear, and SMD. See you at murphys my friend..... hmmmmmm, maybe. If I get my alt in and sub fixed then I will go to the bar then come back on SMD for murphys lolcya then Quote My Red zx2 Build Log My Black zx2 Build Log My Red zx2 UBL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Posted August 18, 2012 Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 I'm taking a break from it. Been about a month so far. Need to know if I still have a job at the end of the month. If I do, I'll get a new deck since my last one failed on me, and start getting everything ready to install. If I don't then I'll probably have to start selling stuff to pay my bills. See how everything goes here in the next few days. Quote formerly known as Blue86f150 its a 4th order just because its tuned in the 40z doesnt mean it wont reach down and jiggle your balls at sub 30 hz frequencies. Regardless if they were dipped platinum and were stuffed in Beyonce's twat.....way too fucking exspensive this sux camel dicks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin M Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 (edited) Take a break but never quit. Amps can be fixed and speakers can be reconed. The problem is I get it to the point where I like it and then use the excuse of "dialing it in" to buy more equipment and change shit. lol So then I rationalize... "Well if I get a van I could turn my Malibu into an sq car and find a van to make absolutely retarded." What gets you in the end is the knowledge you gain. You look back and think I could do that much better now. You listen to your current system and think I should have went with a 12" in a sealed door pod instead of a 10" IB. "A poly midbass with my horns?", What the hell was I thinking? "I bet if I used a selenium or JBL pa driver the frontstage would sound much better." Being robbed is a big setback but it shouldn't take the fun out of the hobby. Happened to me a while back. They got the monitors, HU, and 3 of my v12's but I refused to give up. They even ripped the door pods off; the bastards. I just had the starter replaced in my car to the tune of $400 and change. Had to buy a fridge a while back too. I have to remind myself; stubbornly, to stay the course. Setbacks are temporary. I have a goal and I will be damned if anything will get in my way. If it takes a year I just don't care. hahaha Sorry for the long winded post but that is my way of telling you to just stick it out. If you want it bad enough keep chasing it.

Skullz Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 (edited) 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.
