Posted on Thursday, November 17, 2005 - 02:33 GMT yea but my hearing already sucks and im not the huge type of bass guy thats why im going to get some SE's instead of an Sx. i just like some nice base with good SQ. i doubt id ever really want too much bigger, so i dont want to upgrade unless i have to.
i also wont have the money for a new alt until summer because i have to save the money i have now for college, like 4 grand or so, and im using my x-mas gifts for my subs/amp. then birthday on componets/amp. then when i get my summer job goin ill get new alt if i need it and then new exhaust and CAI |
