How much did you spend on your system?

Armhunter · 04-05-2012, 11:41 AM

I just started. I just bought the Pioneer AVIC-Z140BH

It cost me $1300 Installed.

I plan on swapping out all the speakers and adding an amp and woofer in place of the spare tire.

Victory is mine! I'm doing all the fabrication and installation, so that will save me $2-3k at least. Equipment and materials is north of $9k at the moment.

Baconboy · 04-05-2012, 12:44 PM

I'm trying not to count it.

I dropped in on Wicked CAS this week to pick up the Kenwood 9990 that he offered the pre-order deal for the members. While I was there I got some Hertz speakers and a JL 900/5 amp. A few hours later the Wicked CAS Magic box w/ 13.5" sub went for sale on our classifieds so I had to get that. Dynamat is on order, and I need some quality wires too. Then maybe a camera..

I wanted to spend 1K (haha), but It's going to be more like 3-4k.

I agree with resisting the tempatation to buy online. It's worth a couple extra bucks to get the warrantee, service and some professional advice. Wicked CAS was the real deal.

I hope so. I'm slowly chipping away at it. The fabrication takes forever, and we're shorthanded at work so I've been working extra hours. I will update my thread soon with some new pictures. Maybe tonight if I get a bunch done today.

You mean like demo videos? Wouldn't work well as each persons mic is different and most can not pick up on recording good sound.

Pioneer 4200nex w/amp
Alpine door speakers
10" Kicker sub w/amp
$1777 installed... I do not have the capability or desire to install this stuff myself.

kenchan · 03-28-2016, 11:02 AM

since post #15, i spent another $300 on the AVH4500BT a few yrs back which is in my car right now. real happy with the HU, but i might do one more swap with a CarPlay HU before im done with the Z.

YzGyz · 03-28-2016, 02:13 PM

I cheaped out on my current system. I'm only around $2 in parts, wires components, ect.

Mix of Kenwood HU
Alpine sub woofer
Focal drivers
cheap a but great bang for buck Soundstream amps but I plan to upgrade sometime. IDK when but I will.

I made some things and installed them myself.

Wicked CAS 370Z Stealth Magic Box Subwoofer Enclosure Sub Box
JL 13TW5 Sub
JL XD600 Watt Amp
JL 4 Gauge Amp Kit
Plus installation and parts came out to $1333

Wicked C.A.S. was great to work with and I got all the parts through them in February when they were doing free shipping. They also give military discounts so I saved another $75 on top. Had it installed at Audio One in Newport News where they have never given me any grief about installing hardware not bought at the shop, great group of guys.
