Poor Andy - he's taken so much heat for that product.

 

being on a very tight budget, I would have to say that I bought the best that I could with what I had at that moment, always with an eye open for deals. I bought my first system off of my bro for $200 which was just the amp(a jensen p.o.s.) and a phoenix gold 12" sub in a custom ported box. then I was given a little 4 channel amp for the front end from a close friend. Then I bought a cheap head unit, a freeway for $150, which is a mistake that I will not make again.Next I bought a oldschool ppi amp for $200, and 4 mbquart 6.5's for $100. A friened then offered to sell me his lightnig audio amp and 2 6.5 mb quart referencs and 5.25 references with tweeters for $100, and a different friend sold me his rockford fosgate bd1501 and 2 mtx 12's for $250. And when I told my chiropractor about my hobby he sold me a sony crossover, sony amp and 2 sony 5.25 3ways. along the way I was given a line driver and 7channel eq.
So as you can see I have bought alot of junk, but I am hoping to make that junk sound good and hit in the low 130's. I think it would be cool to spend less than what some spend on a head unit and still hit hard.
so far I have spent $1000 on my system, have had alot of fun, met some people and the only regret is the freeway head unit.

 

they were the best of the cheapest price
indash dvd cost me 300$ everything is built in with gps and it goes good with my indash

amps because they where cheap and goood!(mtx and visonik 900XD)
Kickers always been a fan of square subs i like to not be round

 

I owned a shop in 2003-2005 and sold lots of Alpine, pioneer, PG and some Polk.. Loved the Type R subs and Polk MM subs.. ALos ran Pioneer Kevlars and Polk MM components in my cars. So got used to the sound and the price/performance of these big brands.
I was going to do a 3 way build in a Ford Fusion but that never got started, thus I purchased the DLS mids and tweets a few years ago...
Back to the present...Got a MB Cclass this summer and figured it was time to do anotherbuild so I found the DLS midbass used here ... and needed a sub too. So picked up the DLS sub as well
My Pioneer crossovers where actually purchased new on Ebay for like $35 and they were supposed to be for a home audio system for tri-amping my Klipsch LaScalas.. but the HT room never got done...:-( . you know.. wife wants new kitchen, new bathroom, new walk in closet first...
The RF 600A5 I got in 2005 for a Ford Minivan and it works great. actually have 2 of them. The RF200A4 was purchased as a match.. I like matching products...

The End.
