Guess what! someones buying my entire setup!!

the dude said hell give me 1000 i said hell no 1500, then we came up to a price of 1200
everyting is warrantied and has boxes

now this is sales price, not prices i got it for

type R coaxials: selling it for 200

alpine type R sub and Alpine box : 300

amp: 200

cap:50

eclipse amp:50

rear bose: 20

alpine hu 100 [its brand new alpine sent me a new last week]

all my wires, connectors, terminals, adaptors, distribution blocks, circuit breaker, harneses,rcas,: 200

i really want to do my suspension, sell my rims and get new rims, get a paint job and body kit and new bumpers.

so i have 500 right now plus a 1000 should be enough to do my exterior.


btw later on im goin ARC AUDIO baby, Don my trunks going to look like yours. guess what.... your going to be doing it too lol thats later on,

im going to college this year so i cant really park in a parking lot with a full system, sometins bound to happen. neways alpine is going to be gone and time to move up

Good for you ! Glad to hear your finally steppin up.

But if your going to school, why do all the body work and appearance stuff now? Its just gpnna make your car more attraction to a potential thief. Id say do the system and leave the exterior for now. Just my $.02

no i really want my car looking nice, i mean i experienced the system and now its like i want more.. but ive spent way too much on the system. when i originally got this car i just wanted it to look nice, be light and fast as fawk. i was real happy with the bose, but i dont know i got my first little 10inch punch, my acoustic amp blew and i was mad so i just kept spending more money. i really want a nice looking car. no point of having a kick **** system in an ok looking car.

i just have a feeling someone will take my sheit sooner or later, its so easy to get into a maximas trunk, and i would be mad if someone took all my hardwork and money.

i duno, im getting my license sunday since its my bday.... and boy im going to be speeding on the southern state allll night!!!!!

Damn...not bad...
Suspension is one thing but paint and a nicely molded kit is gonna cust you way more than its worth IMO. Might as well sell your car and buy another color max, probably spend less doing that then getting your car painted. Thats one reason why I like stereos, they can always be taken into any car you want. Although I cant blame you, Ive debated painting my car many times. Im just waiting to find a hook up on it so I dont have to pay 5 grand for a paint job that actually looks good. My .02

It's going to cost a lot of money to make your trunk look like Don's.

honestly, im not going to lie but i am moore than happy with my system right now, its like i got what i finally wanted. the bass, the cleaness the attention it gets lol. i just have a bad feeling i wont have it long, thats the thing with having nice stuff over here it will all be gone soon, especially with my luck. Btw Kevin i was thinking of selling the rims the stereo i should have about 2 gran. now if i do this i could selll the max for a high **** price cuz they are retards around here that dont know the true value for the car, and i could put money down on a 2k2 5spd gle. i really want a 5spd car and i want a black car. but nothing could touch my black mint conditionleather lol i love the gle intereior


neways how much does a 12 tdx go for? and a nice amp for it? what about those KAR series components? i mean if its not ARC then im going to have to go with RE for just pure bass


when i mean im done with alpine i man im done with
eclipse
pioneer
kicker
sony
rockford
lol bascially anyting from my dealer

all that mainstream bullshiet.

the reason i was suggesting the arc is because i want my system to be all one brand i hate that mix match shiet. what else systems make subs amps and components that are highend? and not too costly

Why would you eliminate Eclipse?

Theres tons of other options aside from Arc....Da,Audioson,etc..

BTW..2k2 max is 6spd, not 5

i think you need to learn that you can run any brand of audio with another brand just fine. not one brand that i know of makes the best of everything from h/u to speakers.

Not a problem, but he did put Alot of money into that car. Of course its all stuff hell never 'need' to upgrade and hell be content with it for years to come...

I also agree with Rich, no brand in the world will completely fill the scope of ALL top notch. Part of the reason why I run 3 different brands in my car.

As far as pricing between DA and Arc...we can talk when your ready to do something again. Prices tend to fluctuate quite frequently. Especially in the Spring time when Everyone is buying.

so the best time to buy is around december when stuff are selling out quick at the end of the year? thats when i got my amp and coaxials.

i mean i know it sounds stupid but i wont enjoy my system knowing that shiet is mixed matched. shiet if i didnt get an alpine hu, i wouldve never gotten everyting alpine.
if i went pioneer, i wouldve gotten cdt components instead, with a kicker kx600.1 with a Re SE sub ported, but i dont like mixing shiet thats just me.

hey what about soundstream? they make good amps right? and good subs? do they make comps too?

No it all Varies. Typically prices are higher in sprin/summer and sometimes around Christmas. Manufacturers are stupid, theyre aware that kids want stuff for their car and its on the Christmas list...meaning theyll either get that stuff or the money to buy it as presents. With that being said a bit of inflation, then put on 'sale' typically entices people to buy.

Soundstream Was great very solid product back in the day. They have declined a bit, but now even more since PowerAcoustik bought them out.

lol i told you guys how my first amp i borrowed from my freind caught on fire 2x! it was a power acoustic fire and ice 820 watts it said? i think it was pushing more like 180. neways it was see through and had a coo neon light so when the amp was on i was moving it up and down something came loose and i heard a loud pop with a orange light fly acroos the inside of the amp and i saw the coolest fireworks show of my life. so then i changed the main fuse, i was bassing, then all of a sudden my dealer comes running out of the store knocking on my trunk and i turn back and all i see is maaad smoke!! i was like wtf, i quickly poped open the trunk he grabbed it and threw it out. lol it was the funnest thing ever! neways i asked them if they could fix it and they said dont bring that junk in my store. lol neways that was my first amp. btw my friend who i borrowed it from kinda ****ed it up before i borrowed it from him and he aint tell me. so thats that. o i took the neon out of it and used it in my trunk lol
