Is addiction normal?

[chadm_88]

I went to best buy the other day wanting to get a mediocre amp to power a few new speakers, nothing special, but i ended up walking out with a really nice fosgate amp, and now im trying to scrounge enough cash for MORE! does anyone else have this problem?

Oh man when I first got subs and stuff I went throught them like water. Either I was replacing or just unsatisfied and changing around. I went throught like 6 different setups of subs and amps. But now I can proudly say, barring any unforseen accident, I am done for a while!!

Really nice amps from best buy? is that possible?

[mx6rrr]

I just quit there...lol

[chadm_88]

nice to me anyway....its a fosgate uh...i forget the model, maybe a p2002?? sounds right.

[mx6rrr]

the first 3 #'s are power rms, the next # is # of channels.
ie: 2002=200/2
4004=400/4
8002=800/2
etc

well.. dont rip on him too bad.. id say fosgate is abotu the best thing best buy has to offer.. so on that note id say you made a decent choice.. hell id run a fosgate if they didnt cost so damn much.. granted they run a little hot.. theyre pretty decent amps and dont play the bullshit number games at least.. but i mean there is always better.. but then again.. 'better' is also subjective... lol

fosgate amps are GOOD but not great IMO

haha, I started in on this car audio stuff because of this... I wanted some bass w/o blowing my 6x8's. I got a little bass from 1 12", then I got a little more with 2 12"s, then I needed more power for my highs, so I got a 4 channel amp, then I "needed" (that means I just wanted them) better speakers, so I bought new 6x8's..... yada yada yada, now I have 6 6x8s and a pair of tweets, and 2 12"s and it never will be good enough. Dont you guys all just love that feeling your ears get when there is too much bass to handle? They feel cold at first, then they hurt, then they go numb, and they feel like theyre bleeding, and you STILL turn it up! I love that shit!!!!! lol, god, I hope they learn how to make deaf people hear within 10 years, because Im gonna need them to do that for me.

I hate it when my ears adjust to the point it's like I'm listening to a 4 inch driver in a PC multimedia setup when in reality I'm probably pounding bass that can be heard a mile away. That's the point that addiction takes over and you keep upgrading and upgrading, never ending up satisfied.

-Enstein's Theory of Reletivity makes sence in some weird way. "so if i fly to the nearest star and back at a constant speed of 0.6C i will come back to earth over 2 years younger than everyone else?"
