Hahah^^ Well said, But as for me, I got nothing to hide, everything is bolted down in my current!
$300ish on sub(reconed)
$300ish on amp,(ebay)
$100 on deck(MAO I still owe you for this one buddy)
$000 on mids, (I won them from here)
$150 on tweeters ( I blew the DD's up and needed something better)
$200ish on wire etc.
$200 on alarm(its a 2way and I park about 20' from my bedroom window)
$500 or so on Deadener
in the last year or so, I probably have spent about $1000 on wood, screws,glue, staples, etc @ the homo depot, The saw guy knows me by name!!
Now was it worth it? I see the numbers and I say no, but I get in the car and go for a small drive and forget about it!! lol.

hi
stereos
my third stereo was alpine cda 9815 - 350 euros (E) {second hand}
then pioneer dex p99 {second hand - mint condition} 200E
then I bought premier deh-p880 new - 300E {also kept the deck}
I still have all three, I was never offered a decent price for my older HU-s.
speakers
set of 16,5 cm HERTZ HiEnergy HSK 165 speaker-system {2 way} 350E brand new
amp
first I had Audison SRX 3 for 300E brand new (3 channel)
then I upgraded it to Audison LRX 5.600 used (5 channel) and payed extra 200E
subwoofer
one sub-box Hertz HiEnergy HBX 250D, used but mint condition 300E
power cap
audison connection 1,2F 150E brand new
wiring
audison connection 400W kit, brand new 150E
soundproofing {I don't know if I'm correct}
some packs of AudioComp Fonomat {6 packs I guess} for about 200E including installation {I covered only front doors, both sheets} still a lot to be done because the woofers are mounted on the door panel, not in the door structure...must use LPF
hints
I'm from europe {Romania}
1E=1,68CAD {sort of}
