Hifonics 4channel amp comes in tomarrow, well could have come in today but because it was being shipped to her house there was no one there to sign for it so i have to go pick it up tomarrow.

these hollywood sound speaks seemed kinda wimpy to me but for $55

they look worthy. Of course weight has little to do with performance, but i like beefy speakers. I had to remind myself they are a set of componets that retail at $175 if you're luckey.

Then the sexiest componet amp ive seen to date :faintthud::lickscreen:

for ~650 bones i dont think you can beat this system. I think it will turn out to be an awsome entry level SQ system that will still get loud and still hae some daily beating bump in the trunk.

no problem my friend :)

that amp looks much better in person no? ;)

let me know how they sound!!!!!!

yep, pictures just cant do it justice. For and "entry" level amp it sure is nice looking. Let's hope it sounds as good as it looks. Of course i have no doubts that it will.

I actually think hers could sound as good/better than mine simply because her car is a better listening environment. However, thats if i deaden the hell out of it because it squeaks and rattles like a female dog. :Doh:

oh, sorry ///M5, maybe if we have a horrible break up in the future and she spreads dirty lies about me all over north florida. Untill then i better be the only male seeing them. lol.

Not bad.

I havent spent over $230 on a single piece of equipment so far.

And the most expensive was my h/u.

  • Author

for my truck 300 will be the most expensive. followed by the amp then the comonets then the componet amp, then the enclosure. HU will probably come in above the amp when i get it.

LAWL @ you cheap kids ;) ...

I did an Alpine HU, 4 CDT coaxials, US Acoustics 4channel amp, LI12, and JBL 600.1 in my EX's Jeep grand cherokee. I should probably go steal it back now... cuz she's a female dog...

x2

i havent paid for any of this except the HU, her mom has, but im estimating ~20-25hrs of work into this total. at $5/hr that is still over $100 plus the 150 for the HU, 250 is alot for only dating 3 1/2mo.

of course $250 is well worth it since as of now she has no system at ALL and the thing rattles like a bizotch and the wind noise with the windows closed sounds like 70mph with the windo cracked in my truck. The newing the better i geuss. :D
