How much money did you spend on audio?

[Darrick147]

I started on my system about 3 months ago. And with building my own box ($20 for the wood), Ive spent $950. Ive got 2 10" L7s, a Kenwood 920w amp, two 6.5 2-way pioneer speakers in the front and two 3-way pioneer speakers in the rear, and an Eclipse CD5444 head unit.

[pimprolla112]

Wow 950 is alot for all that, my first one was a little over 800

2-infinity perfects 170, profile ca600 amp 100, panasonic cq-dfx 983u HU 350 which the most expensive part, mb quart 6x9 speakers 90 and a set of pioneer 4x6 plates 30 for the front, prefab box was about 45 and the wiring was about 30.

My car came with good speakers, so i didnt need to buy the 2 front and 2 rear, i made my own box, 2 sony xplod subs, 1 lightning audio amp, and a JVC deck with the iPod interface hook up, and i bought a 550 watt amp hook up kit, total was like little over 500, sounds pretty good...ofcourse they dont sound as good as Kicker or MTX, but they are still good

[pimprolla112]

No dude sony blows just look on the board theres several cases where this happens, and mtx and kicker arent really that great.

[PlayStation3]

yea it's weird the one thing that those share in common though is that their amps are pretty good.

[pimprolla112]

Well im saying as opposed to other subs on the market i will admit mtx amps are awsome, and kickers are just the same but damn you will pay a few pretty penies for them.

first started with a panisonic deck, kicker 6 1/2 mids and highs, 2 15" kicker CVR's (07 models) vented enclosure and a planet audio 1400D 1,250 class d mono amp. somone broke into my cherokee a few days later and stole my system but left the viper alarm on the back seat. so I got the alarm installed, replaced the deck with an alpine 6.5 touch screen dvd player, still have the kickers mids and highs, 2 new 15" kicker CVX subs, 2 planet audio 2200d class d mono block amps, and a planet audio 4004 4 channel amp.

you can tell by the model numbers and what they used to cost how old my system really is...

pioneer deh-p7600mp...350
infinity 6000cs...225
13.5W7D1.5 (x2)...1500
1000/1...1100
300/4...350
300/2...500 (it's very old)
still waiting for the ZR800-CW's to come out...?$?$?
dvd,screens,cables should bring the equipment cost to about 5k
the install...$ WWOOOOOWWW.00

[johnbarrett69]

around 1200 bucks w my rockford 15s and 1500 watt amp

[pimprolla112]

What series are they, 1200 is alot for an amp and subs. My subs where 300 for the set and the amp was about 300. But i just got deal on a re sx 18 so my 15"s are becoming my home theater sub and the other is going into my accord.

it's called research .......... if i bought everything i said that i think i would way over my head in terms of debt. like i don't mind paying more for better quality and realibity and getting what it actully is rated for at atleast puts out that much. like i don't want to make the same mistake i did with my old one. like i did not mind paying for monsters top of the line RCA wire because i know it is quality.

At least you do research unlike half the other bozos on here and everywhere else. They ask if its good after they buy it.

I paid about what retail was for my subs 150 each and 18 for shipping, and the MM75.4 was like 175 shipped and the MM1000.1d was like 287 after shipping. I just picked up a nice 0 guage install kit made by fusion for 80 from a local custom shop. Not bad considering the wire alone else where is about 2-3 a foot and i got 25', 3' for ground, 10' of 12 ga, fuse block, remote wire, and some 4 ga and a dist block. I couldnt beat the deal.

But il get some new pics up soon i have the door pods in the works and im waiting for the sx 18.

certainly nothing wrong with asking questions ..... can save you a LOT of time and money. And I can gaurantee you there are tons of people out there that are wondering the same thing.
