oh and are we talking retail prices or what we paid? im sure if everybody did retail there prices would at least double right?

I put down what I actually paid. A lot of my gear is older gear that I cannot find retail price for anymore; I buy used a lot. I am sure that the retail price is easily three times what I have paid so far.

...And if you include all the gear I have bought and not liked, or blown sky-high, the price soars as well.

Just for fun I will guesstimate my retail based on the pricing of new equivalents when I cannot find the old value.

Sony HU- $160

Alpine subs $130 x2

Alpine x9's $80

Power Acoustik amp- $360 (list price of new equivalent according to sonicelectronix.com)

MB Quart doors- $120 (list price of new equivalent on sonicelectronix.com)

Wire- $90 (Crutchfield price, excluding RCAs)

Fosgate RCAs (came in 8ga. kit, but using price alone)- $30

Fosgate side-post adapter- $6

Wood and glue- $35

Total- $1141

...ouch.

Too many projects, too little time...

Once or twice I have missed having a back seat / rear hatch, but all in all people love to see a walled vehcile. It just screams "i'm not fucking around with my setup, im loud"
