Van was a gift back in the day so $0... worth around $800 if I were to sell it.

System paid prices:

@60x12 = 720 subs

@125x6 = 750 highs amps

@50x2 = 100 some tweets

@55x2 = 110 bass shakers

@30 = 30 center

@80x2 = 160 jbl door spkr

@60 = 60 tang band door spkr

@125x2 = 250 bass processors

@75x2 = 150 eqs

@75 = 75 xover

@400 = wires, fuses, bla bla

@450 = box, bla bla bla

Free = install (all myself and my hobby time)

soo.... @ $3,200 paid for system (retail would have been stupid $$$) vs a free worth $800 van.

12 - 12"s in the STAY PUFT 1989 Chevy Astro

there are pics and vids everywhere.

The prices don't include alot of stuff but close.

I can't wait to do the next one.

No need to get so freaked out by the price.

If chicken ever posted I think everyone would shit.

The total dollar amounts are relative to their incomes.

Some people make more annually then you and I.

Glad to see the new sign on name.

Fits nice

Im with you on the people making different amounts,somebody that makes 10-15k a year would se spending 5k on a system as " a shit load" but some body that makes 50-75k would be like "meh ok" and somebody that makes 50-75k a year would see a system in the 25k range the same way the 10-15ka year person would see the 5k system.see your system is like WOW to me, but its probably like year it cost a grip to you but its ok,lol mine cost about half of what yours did.But its all in what you want in life ya know?
