Just wondering...

How much has everyone spent on their sound system and what does your sound system consist of.

$2K is the most, for what i see is the more you spent is the more you get.

Over $11k. It should have cost alot more labor, but I got a good deal.

Mainly a JL Setup except for the Pioneer Screen with 9000 brain.

Check Sig for some pics.

Thanks for the compliment.

I guess I need to write something up because there were alot of things done that you can't see and sometimes I forget was done. For instance the WHOLE car from the back seat back was internally sprayed with Dynamat. The trunk alone took over 3 weeks and labor was around $2500 and should have been over $7000. The custom milled plastic piece around the screen and center channel cost $300, but really should have cost $600. Plus I replaced every speaker in the car with JL Audio XR Series Speakers.

Well enough of that. I just need to write something up at least for my personal reference...

Yeah $11K is ALOT and I did NOT plan on spending that much. Original plan was about $6K, but shit adds up FAST!!! I did it in 2 phases because there was no way I could afford to do it in 1...

Believe me... I definately had STICKER SHOCK!!!!

THis was my list:

Alpine CDA 7897 $600
01 Alpine SPR175a components $175
01 Alpine S series $80
Clarion Tweets $50
Solobaric 12 $250
Box $175
Power 550s amp $439
Power 550x amp $399
Stinger digi cap $150
Dynamat $200

So I think thats roughly about 3000 grand with a custom amprack, dynamating, and custom dash.

The new stuff is

Alpine CDA 9815 $500
Type R components in the front and the back $320
keeping the same amps and sub for now and more dynamat.
