Sweet car, sh!tty subs
|
Silver Member Username: Sw9152Michigan Post Number: 776 Registered: Feb-06 | has anyone else noticed that really rich people with extremely expensive car get crappy subs. i saw a car show on TV that had mercedes and cadillacs with like 6 TVs in them and 24" rims but had sony and audiobahn subs. what is wrong with these people, they have almost unlimited budget for subs yet get some of the worst subs out there. |

Silver Member Username: StnorrisEldridge, IA US Post Number: 349 Registered: Apr-06 | they spend all their time, spending money on everything, they dont have time to sit down, and figure out what subs are good and which ones arent. lol. they just go into best buy, or a store like that, and buy the most expensive stuff the store has. lol. and they think its good. but my amp and subs are bettter than anything best buy has. lol. there best amp is 600 rms alpine. anyways, those poeple are dumb*as*ses. |

Gold Member Username: Extrmndor3Chicago, Ill Us Post Number: 1040 Registered: Feb-06 | yeah maybe those amps and subs were installed by a profesionall that can make 2 sonys p5 subwoofers hit 150 and still soundin good, and maybe he charged 5k just for the installation just like unique whips nobody knows or maybe they dont care the sound they just want good brand names oh hey have anyone saw the video on realm of excursion that some dude makes 4 12's sonys hit 150? |

Silver Member Username: AlteraudiousaConcord Post Number: 914 Registered: Jan-06 | well I'd say its the sales persons fault for giving the rich person a crappy setup. Most of the time the sales person can make more on the margin with some of the crappier companies and its easy to sell cause its hard to explain the difference in sound to people who can't hear a difference. Just look at Unique whips, they sell their installs for like 25,000$ in Jason Giambi's SUV when that was a simple install and custom box that can be done for half that price. When people don't learn how to be wise stewards and use their judgement when spending money they get ripped off. |

Bronze Member Username: LongbluesquidPost Number: 12 Registered: May-06 | ok now Audiobahn is a very good company.. they have the most power handling out of any other company and theyre prices arent too bad either. |
|
Gold Member Username: MixneffectOrangevale, Ca. USA Post Number: 1003 Registered: Apr-05 | Its sad when you start to justify others peoples lives using subs/audio systems as a justification crutch. I hate to admit it, but I have done it in the past. Its just a life. Live it as you please. Its just money. Spend it as you please. This world is almost over, and I dont wanna go to hell. I trust in God. With God I dont need a system. Peace |

Gold Member Username: Iufan4lifeulPost Number: 1100 Registered: May-05 | killerzracing. About your car for 100k that could beat a lambo. That is a good point. Take a WRX STi for example. 30k car. Mods: Bigger intercooler Intake Exhaust Upgraded turbo That right there you can tune (if you know what your doing) to about 800 HP. And being a all wheel drive car. Lambo's have no chance. |
|
Gold Member Username: Basshead86Google is your Friend, FL Post Number: 3743 Registered: Aug-05 | i don't want to counterpoint you. but ALL the Lambo's are 4wd if i am not mistaken. at least the new ones are. besides.you are not paying $300K for the HP, you are paying $300K for the craftsmanship, the parts used, and the most of all....the name. haha |

Gold Member Username: RedlinerWilmington, Ma Post Number: 1974 Registered: Jun-05 | and the looks i would rather have a ferrari or lambo over anything u guys could do with any of those cars like a civic or sti |

Gold Member Username: Chaunb3400Huntsville, Alabama U.S. Post Number: 7733 Registered: Jul-05 | ^^^YEP, 100% U would get more b00ty in a lambo then a civic.lol |

Gold Member Username: RovinTrinidad & T... Post Number: 8128 Registered: Jul-05 | let me ask this : if u were wealthy enough & busy with work & u had a budget of 300K - would u buy a 50K car & go through all the work & headache & spend 200+Ks on it 2 make it comparable 2 1 of those 300K supercars !? i think NOT ! ... personally if i had the $ i would get a new Z06 Vette & put a 30K sytem in it = best way 2 spend 100K .... |

Silver Member Username: ShortysetniesRock Vegas, NC US Post Number: 233 Registered: Mar-06 | Going back to Unique Auto, is it me or do they say they are making a "fiberglass" box but just make bondo into the shape they want and then put carpet on it? |

Bronze Member Username: Pike110Post Number: 98 Registered: Oct-05 | Good point up there Muddy. I have an 03 z06 vette. And I here that crap all the time. "I could make a civic as fast as that for half the money" You could do that but, It would still be a civic. |
|
Silver Member Username: ShortysetniesRock Vegas, NC US Post Number: 235 Registered: Mar-06 | I would kill for a Vette dude. No way a honda would be better to me... |
|
Gold Member Username: MixneffectOrangevale, Ca. USA Post Number: 1019 Registered: Apr-05 | what if everyone had a lambourghini? What then? Would everyone then want a honda civic, where at least you could put a subwoofer in the hatch area. The same goes with the vettes. So what if a rich person spends their money on 6 DVDs and cheap subs. Its their money, not yours. Pike110, I have heard a lot of stories where drewlers complained and commented on someone elses expensive car when they drove a crappy ol nova ... lol Its never gonna stop. There are people that do things, and people that talk about somebody elses things. Forget about it. Get your own. |

Silver Member Username: HootzSaskatoon, Saskatchewan Canada Post Number: 188 Registered: Oct-05 | That is honestly the stupidest argument I've ever heard, that someone can make a civic as fast as a vette, or a wrx as fast as a lambo. Sure you can. But there's a reason why it takes a team of highly paid engineers months or years to design a high performance car. Making horsepower is easy. It's making it last that's the tricky part. If you wanna spent 100k to build up a $30000 car so you can say you did it and it's fast and you're awsome, go for it. But don't try drive the thing 100 miles down the coast without a trunk full of tools and spare parts. And it's easy to criticize rich people, like unique autosports customers for spending all that money on JL equipment and an overpriced install, when I could have easily picked up RE equipment off ebay and spent 50 hours building a sweet install, but honestly, you don't think these people have better things to do than sit on ecoustics all day finding out how to pinch pennies like us losers? Sure, you can get better for less, but I also don't think they want to have to pull up in a parking lot, open their trunk full of really good equipment that no one has ever heard of, and start arguing with the next rich arroagant douche that his RE xxx's he picked up ebay are really good and he got a sweet deal on them. Why do they buy a ferrari instead of a civic? because even the dumbest people know ferraris are fast and expensive. why do they use JL instead of RE? because anyone who knows the slightest bit about car audio knows that JL is high end and expensive. And they go to Unique Autosports because anyone who's rich and has a car is going to recognize the decal. |

Bronze Member Username: MrsqCalifornia Post Number: 70 Registered: May-06 | true, these people who makes them are stupid enough not to put a good sub |
|
Silver Member Username: Sw9152Michigan Post Number: 778 Registered: Feb-06 | if peolpe want JL to show off because everyone recognizes the brand why not get some RE MTs and show off by having the loudest system around? kinda like the dude that is featured on ROE steve meade. |
|
Silver Member Username: AlteraudiousaConcord Post Number: 927 Registered: Jan-06 | as for the car comments and all about tuning it up and all.....you can make a honda faster than "X" car but its still just a Honda. I would take a Ferrari over a highly tuned Civic that could dust my Ferrari anyday, cause I know the tradition and craftsmanship of the Ferrari. As for Unique, only think Unique about them is that Canadian chick and their prices. |

Gold Member Username: CenusHicksville, Ohio Usa Post Number: 1857 Registered: Jan-05 | this is kinda off topic but has any1 seen the 2006 camaro, they look sweet as h3ll. |

Silver Member Username: LewassBoomfield Hills, MI USA Post Number: 746 Registered: Jan-06 | Me, I'd take the new Ferrari 599 GTB. $280,000 gets you the same V12 from the Enzo, 612 HP, refinement never before achieved in a Ferrari, 11 cubic feet of trunk room (for you know what), and the sexiest damn car I have ever seen. |
|
Silver Member Username: ShortysetniesRock Vegas, NC US Post Number: 236 Registered: Mar-06 | If I had the money I would buy the vette and then jack my Cherokee up about 20" and put 50" tires on it and drop a new everything from motor, tranny, drive shaft, axles, and all the other little goodies and be satisfied. |

Gold Member Username: MixneffectOrangevale, Ca. USA Post Number: 1025 Registered: Apr-05 | Dustin, From what I heard, GM shut down the camaro plant a few years ago (04 I think). I am not doubting you, but it would make quite some buzz, if they did. At least here in the states it is not available, perhaps in canada and other places they may still be available, who knows? |

Gold Member Username: CenusHicksville, Ohio Usa Post Number: 1863 Registered: Jan-05 | i was reading about it in a magazine the other day. just google it i found all kinds of links about it. |

Gold Member Username: MixneffectOrangevale, Ca. USA Post Number: 1026 Registered: Apr-05 | IT IS A CONCEPT CAR !!!!!!!!!!!!! http://chevyhiperformance.com/hotnews/0601ch_conceptcam/ As of now, word has it we can expect the all-new Camaro between '08 and '09, with a street price starting at $25,000 for base models, which will make it competitively priced with its arch rival |
|
Gold Member Username: CenusHicksville, Ohio Usa Post Number: 1864 Registered: Jan-05 | ohh my bad, i thought it was allready in production, but anyway still a sweet looking car, i'd take it over a mustang or charger any day. |
|
Bronze Member Username: Orion_hccaPost Number: 18 Registered: May-06 | GM is following the fad and bringing the camaro back for late 07 early 08 i believe, their concept was on display at detroit auto show. all i have to say is, thank god they said that thing wasnt the final design, its just so ugly. rumor has it dodge is bringing back the challenger/cuda in upcoming years also |
|
Bronze Member Username: Orion_hccaPost Number: 19 Registered: May-06 | http://www.autospies.com/article/index.asp?articleId=6262 that is the original concept look of the next camaro at the detroit auto show if you google new camaro, it will show pictures of the updated(hopefully) concept |

Silver Member Username: Van_manBoston South, MA Post Number: 598 Registered: Mar-06 | Im still waiting for the chevy Vega, Or the Dodge Omni. or what about the Gremlin? And lastly, the AMC Pacer. |

Gold Member Username: CenusHicksville, Ohio Usa Post Number: 1866 Registered: Jan-05 | ya i'll agree the first concept car is ugly as sh1t, http://www.dragsource.com/index.php?navselect=articles&articletoview=8 heres a pic of the one i was talking about, just search "2006 camaro" on google. |
|
Bronze Member Username: Orion_hccaPost Number: 20 Registered: May-06 | yah thats the updated one i was talking about, that one is very much sexier than that other thing they called a car |

Bronze Member Username: Yeah_toastBIG SB South Bend, IN USA Post Number: 34 Registered: May-05 | so has anyone seen that awd vette or the jba mustang . there pretty sweet. vette is also sporting a giant turbo (i have no clue right now on the size). me i would just pick a saleen S7 the new worlds fastest prodution car (twin turbos with 750hp 700t). my personal fav. would be a mustang with a 302 stroked to a 347 with twin turbos. people do it alot and find them very reliable (spelling) not to mention they can run into the 7s to high 6s and still be pretty streetable (yes mpg may suffer a little bit) and what a TT Supra. ive seen those run hand in hand with mclaren F1 (spelling) bosting 1200+ hp and not to mention they look just as good as lmabos (my opinion) but im with killer i love to drive a lambo and get the girls |
