----When you make 2 trips to the local audio shops a week.

----When you call those trips "making the rounds"

----When every employee of the shops know you by name.

----When, while making those trips, you are offered a job at almost every shop.

----When you know what every person at your High school has in their car.

----When you have 4 sets of tower speakers, 3 radios, a completely disassembled subwoofer lying on your floor, surrounded by your stock door speakers, and the boxes of every audio product you have ever had stacked on your dresser. and a spider web of speaker wire lying around. And a little cardboard box with with 2 .5" tweets and 2 6" midbass speakers because you ran out of MDF and had no money for gas to get more MDF cause you just bought a $700 amp a few hours before.

----When the guys at the local shops know not to try to sell you anything.

----When you give your best friend chit for buying a prefab box.

----When you have fun quizzing the new employee at the local shop(s)

----When you are posting stuff on a car audio forum about your addiction at 2:30 am

----When, as soon as you wake up, are running to the bank to check how much you made this paycheck. How much that was will determine if you are ordering that $500 sub this week or not.

you believe linex is good for the interior

you have more blown fuses than good fuses

your headlight looks like strobes, even with a cap and dual batteries

youve blown more than one window out

youve taken a hachet to a sub (been there done that)

you havent seen a stock deck in years

your suburban has 2 seats

your neighbors hate you

your brand new paint jobs already flaked off

you have to reset the rear view mirror every few seconds

your date thinks these are massage chairs

you dont need to run the heater you have enough amps

you buy new stereos more often than you grocery shop

youve never had your stuff stolen, because they couldnt pick it up

whenever your girlfriend hears, sub, amp, deck, she rolls her eyes and walks away "dont you have enough crap?"
