Gold Member Username: Wolfman1966WEST MONROE , LOUISIANA USA Post Number: 1140 Registered: Jan-06 | oh, just so it helps. ..I have a 2004 dodge neon with the factory am/fm/cd player in it, no amps/subs or anything aftermarket....boo hoo hoo |

Gold Member Username: CtmikeCt. Post Number: 2535 Registered: Feb-06 | save a little and buy a nice hu or, if you plan on putting a system in soon, buy all the sound deadning you can and get to work on that. or you can just save it. |

Gold Member Username: Wolfman1966WEST MONROE , LOUISIANA USA Post Number: 1141 Registered: Jan-06 | I can get 2 audiopipe subs for about $75...but would still need a good inexpensive 500 watt amp to run them, and i would have to build my own box, which I dont have any tools...so thats not possible...grr |

Gold Member Username: Van_manBoston South, MA Post Number: 1298 Registered: Mar-06 | "39....turning 40 on the 28th of November" I dont want to come off the wrong way, but are'nt you a little beyond waiting for gift cash. You about a month older then me, and if I want new stuff, I just buy it. Goes with being a grown up. I understand most of the members are young adults with out a lot of disposable cash, but at 40, a couple of hundred is nothing. Unless you wages are horrible, im just shocked at that statement from some one of your age. Maybe Paul should have sent you the Turkey instead. Happy birthday. |

Gold Member Username: Wolfman1966WEST MONROE , LOUISIANA USA Post Number: 1143 Registered: Jan-06 |  Sorry if it came of sounding childish...but I have a very tight budget at the moment and I can't just go get anything I want. I make pretty good wages, but I owe a LOT of it too. $600 month rent, $300month car note, $170month insurance, $400Month child support (thats the one that really hurts, but I got to do the right thing and pay it)..anyway, there's a lot of stuff, and in my case $200 is a lot of money. IF I was still living in my old apt. $285 month rent, then I could probably spend money on stuff I want, instead of need. But we needed a bigger place, so my son could have his own room. So anyway, there's not a lot of disposable income left after bills. |

Silver Member Username: Dsmith07LaGrange, NC US oF A Post Number: 238 Registered: Jun-06 | keep saving, dont settle for something your not gonna like, i went and bought the first thing i saw when i got my first system...dont mess up like me ( and im sure other people as well) |
|
Silver Member Username: Dsmith07LaGrange, NC US oF A Post Number: 239 Registered: Jun-06 | the first thing i'd do would be to get a head unit and i wouldnt get a real cheap one either but it all depends on what you want it to do |
|
Gold Member Username: Wolfman1966WEST MONROE , LOUISIANA USA Post Number: 1144 Registered: Jan-06 | WELL the eventual head unit is decided...some where down the line, I will get a Pioneer Premier, not sure about the model # yet, but probably just a basic am/fm/cd player with a dedicated RCA just for the subs. and I know not to get the first thing that I can, I'll save up at least $500 for the amp/subs...and the HU is gonna cost me about $285 if I remember right. On the subs and amp, I am still thinking of going with 2 10-inch Ascendant Audio Assassins, and a Audiobahn A8000V or A8000T amp. that way those Assassins will get 400watts each which, as far as I hear, will be pretty good. |

Gold Member Username: WingmanalivePine hill, Nj US Post Number: 1425 Registered: Jun-06 | Man, if I only drove a car that would let me "play". I drive a pickup and I love it. No changing vehicles for me, so monstrous bass is out of the question,....in my ride. We all make up for our shortcomings elsewhere. Now, when I play music or watch movies at home, waaaaaay different story! I had my car system in the 90's that was bumpin' in its' time, but I got married, had two kids, bought a house, and grew up. Still love what's deep inside me, just practice it in a different way. Ton of respect for ya Wolfman, keep doing the right thing. I recently swallowed my pride and sold my cycle cause I'm a single parent and it was the "right" thing to do. And $600/mo rent? Sh!t, try a $1300 mortgage!!!! I need 3g's a/mo just to pay the bills!!! |

Gold Member Username: Wolfman1966WEST MONROE , LOUISIANA USA Post Number: 1146 Registered: Jan-06 | ouch!!! I still wish I had a MORTGAGE, I would love to own a house instead of renting. |

Gold Member Username: WingmanalivePine hill, Nj US Post Number: 1427 Registered: Jun-06 | I'm in Jersey, and anyone here can tell you the market is soooooo f@cked up! I bought my house 2 and 1/2 years ago @ $128,000. Today, it's valued @$225,000!! What's killing people is when they take out home equity loans on their property when it's valued so high, then when the market crashes, and their property values drop, even if they sell, they owe a TON of $$$$$$. BTW, I live in a 3 bedroom rancher. |

Gold Member Username: Van_manBoston South, MA Post Number: 1303 Registered: Mar-06 | Good for you Wolfman. Sounds like you have your priorities straight. I understand money is not easy to save. But 5 here, 10 there, it all adds up. I would wait and get something your gonna be happy with. There will always be something better out there. but finding a set up thats fills your needs will be the best for you is what matters. Ive waited six months trying to decide on my next sub to get. Every one jumps on these new bandwagons and winds up selling them a few weeks later. Ive been pieceing my system together for over a year now, and am happy with its performance thus far. Honestly I respect your views on your obligations. I didnt mean to sound like a jerk. Happy birthday. And as far as HUs go. look at the Kenwood X590. Nice unit with USB, 4 volt ouputs, 2 year warranty, and only about 120 on Ebay. Im acually ordering one for my Birthday next month. |

Bronze Member Username: ZoomiebirdPost Number: 99 Registered: May-06 | um heres a couple of cents... i was shopping on ebay and came across trading circuit liquidation. i dont know if you have heard of it, but its CC's online resale outlet. i bought an eclipse cd2000 HU shipped for 60 bucks. they run over 250 new and this thing is in perfect condition. i've been running it for a few months and have had zero problems. just one thing to look into. and ya i agree get a HU first. |

Gold Member Username: Wolfman1966WEST MONROE , LOUISIANA USA Post Number: 1198 Registered: Jan-06 | ok, noob....I have a job...but I also have something you probably don't ....a bunch of bills. Rent$600month Car$300month Insurance$200month Electricity$100month Water&Sewer$30month Phone$50month Cable&Internet$75month Food$350month Daycare$250month Gas$200month and Child Support$350month thats $2180 a month, if I did the math right, and thats figuring with low amounts on the food and gas. My wife and I don't make much more than that...in other words >>There is no extra money. So yeah, I do have to wait on gift money to get the little extra fun things I want... all my regular money goes to NEEDS. I take care of the things that are necessary first. So whats the problem with that ANTIDOT? |
