system worth it for you?

I jsut put in a new system. I put in components, coxials, new hu, battery, 2 amps, and 2 subs. I kinda wish I didn't spend the money on the extra amp and subs. Not really worth it, especially with the problems I went thorugh with the installation. Now I ahve no room in my trunk, and still the bass cuts out sometimes. Anyone else regret spendin there moeny on audio?

Did you have a shop do the install, or attempt it yourself?

i'd go back and double check all conections to and from your amps. also check to see if the load placed on the amp isn't below recommended specs.

I think you might want to check your fuses as well. What is the length of the ground cable from your amps to the frame/body? What gauge wire are you running for your power lead and ground cables?
