Building another car?

[audio-neon 34]

Well its tax-return time and I'm officially debt free, and its also the the start of audio season. The question is should I buy and build a new street A car.

This season the car would get a modest treatment, 2 runs of 1/0 wiring, a good battery, 2 saz-3000d's, 2 (10" subs undecided but would have to be pretty beastly).

The following season it would get the fun treatment, 4-6 runs of 1/0, countless hours of termlab testing/box building etc... Should I do it, represent Sundown Audio and SSA again?

I'm leaning towards yes, Its a great hobby and if I could nab a cheap crx/omni etc... I should be pretty solid in the north east.

I don't know how Debt free feels (almost there), but I bet it feels great!

I said yes, but i'll tack this on the back end.. Only if you can do it with out going back into debt.

your debt free, might as well do it up

[audio-neon 34]

I will make this very clear, unlike last year this car won't be a rushed product.

I am looking to buy a car just for audio, one that I can build from the ground up while not trying to rush to put it back together so that I can get to work. I'm not going to make any promises if I do build the car, but I am already working on the monetary details to see if it will be able to be completed before July, if not I will cut back to a single 12 and probably a single saz-3000d until the following season.

This year in St A you can only have one amp. But I would go for it now and test and build it up so your that much further next year.

Wayne sure is trying to push people to use HUGE amps in Street, huh ?

What about saving for the Camaro?

If you debt free, start dumping some money into a nice low risk, medium yield investment. Then with the interest, build a new set up.

The camaro is still unpractical and would be a three/four year investment. I'm going back to school in the fall. Car audio on the other hand is something I'm not obligated to pay for unless I want to. I enjoy the hobby and it gets me out of the house.

The change to one amp will be different but the Saz-3000d should be more than enough power for my area.

That is what I was going to say. Bank whatever you can and just hang on to it until you have your mind made up on what exactly you want to do.

I basically get the best of both worlds. I get some more money in the bank, another toy and when I graduate college I can buy pretty much any car I want... It seems like more fun than buying a camaro in September, driving until november, garaging until april and paying for it for 4-5 years.

shame you're not closer to me, i know where a GLH-T is sitting for cheap as hell. not running ATM but just a few small things wrong with it. i would have already been building it up if i didn't have the fiero.

No, did a little last year. Just don't think life will allow me to this year.

I hear you there, competing is strenuous on schedule's and finances.
