May 11, 201015 yr I know I have a car audio addiction when......after your sub enclosure is completed, the first thing you do is stick your head inside of it and you make sub sounds with your voice.x2 (definitely done this one a lot), or you knock on it thinking it sounds wonderful and imagining how the sub will sound on there.

August 29, 201015 yr spend the majority of a 12 hour midnight shift killing your eyes reading page after page of car audio forums and manufacturer websites, and then going back to post that in this thread to realize you've allowed too much time to pass since your last post and can no longer edit......realizing that the first component set you ever bought that's in the storage room has more sentimental value than any gift your wife has bought you.spend two months convincing your in-laws to give you an extra $200 to go towards your brother-in laws christmas gift because you can't get a decent sub and amp for the amount they initially wanted to spend.....
September 1, 201015 yr You know you're addicted to car audio when the first build you plan on doing is only going to be a hold over Icon 15 so that you can bump until you have the cash for two twenty ones and a wall. In a vehicle that isn't even insured currently.

November 16, 201014 yr When you pawn/sell spare equptment for new audio equiptment.You drive less to buy more.You eat out less to buy more.You pawn/sell spare equiptment to make next months payment on w/e.You refuse to step foot into a local audio shopYou know the difference between Class A, B, A/B, and D amplifiers and know why there is no such thing as true B-Class amplifiers for most audio reproduction.You measure Impeadance Curve just becauseYou build enclosures just because you have an old driver you want to play with.You Buy MDF just incase.You have a stash of wood screws just incase.You have enough 1/4 full bottles of wood glue lying around to make 10 full bottles.You have Glue/Chaulk/Bondo/Paint/Primer/Stain somewhere on your hands almost 365 days a year.You use that as an excuse to not shake hands with people you dont like.You sit around making this up because you dont have an audio project to be working on at the moment.Your installs for your buddies are reguarded as higher quality than the installs of the local car audio shop by multiple people, almost a whole high school infact... and you are only 16 and have no formal training what-so-ever.
