We got a lot in common my new friend, I hit 41 in April, and have been fighting this disease for 25 years. I swore when I dropped the Focals in the doors and the Rl-p behind the seat, my truck would be complete. Not!!!! I have since picked up a set of Rainbows (awaiting install), am gonna grab a new alternator and battery next week, Midbass drivers the week after, and so it goes. Is there a cure?

LoL - agreed. It's very addictive. I've been fudging around with this truck for just about a year.... I prolly wont stop until I sell it or trade it in.

But at least we're always looking to improve... thats good, right?

lol...

man....i'm "just" 33..and i don't see a cure anytime soon..i've owned my silverado for just about a year...

5 different head units..fixing to be 6 (anyone interested in an eclipse 3434?)

two different sets of componets up front (focals gave way to memphis, haven't been happier)

one set of rear speakers (memphis of course..lol)

and at least 6 different amps powering at least 6 different sub setups...lol..and i'm not done yet..hehe

when does it all end? it won't. we have a disease, and unlike most, it just keeps getting worse. there is no cure as we press forward to find the perfect soundstage, the loudest set up or a swell combination of both...

wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee :slayer:

Just face it, we love to hear music played how it should be, and like to push the envelope when it comes to acoustics :)

I have been playing around with stereos forever it seems, chit, the first time I smoked an amp was when I was 10 haha. Audio happened to also push me into the direction of my career. I knew what I wanted to do in life when I was 15...

I can thank this disease for turning me into what I am today :D

I believe I've settled down for the van install for a while...but I'm starting to lose it in the house...

when Kent's cabs arrive and are loaded with drivers, I'm going to have four pairs of speakers to choose from, three of which don't have an amp dedicated to them :ohsnap:

i need more rooms...

i think part of the problem is the way music is recorded,some tracks sound great and others sound like cr@p, and on any given day i want to listen to different types of music, its trying to get EVERYTHING to sound good in acarthats is the root ofthe problem.i am going toresighn myself to the fact that some tracksare gonna sound cr@p and just stop the tweaking!

pm me if you have anything for sale :)
