I chose the Compustar 2WSS-AS with some add-ons like power window modules, electronic hood bolt, battery backup, etc.. It's a pretty nice system.

Here's a funny one for ya. the head unit in my car cost more than my first car did (the 280ZX) and as much as my present car cost new off the lot.
now that's nuts. hehe

What Compustar Alarm did you get?

Im thinking about getting the new alarm, just not the one with the "spread spectrum" feature. Thats a little $$$ overboard for me.

My first system
3 10" Boss RIP
Boss Riot 1035


Current System
Digital Designs 9512e
Kicker KX 1200.1

Pretty crazy I went from spending 300 bucks for my whole system to spending double that just for my sub.

If it wasnt for CAC I highly doubt I would have realized the difference between crap and decent equipment. :) :) :)

using the Dyn crossovers for the time being with the 3 way set.
a lot of the stuff like the amps I bought used. A good portion of the rest I got from a friend who owns an audio shop and sells alpine, dyn, etc so I get it at a pretty good discount.
usually employee cost.

most of the system is sitting on the bench right now though as I'm about to tear the car apart to rebuild the motor and tranny and strip and prep it for paint

So when did you get all of that new stuff for your Charger? Are you using the stock passives for the Dyn's or are you running them all active?

well, the wagon was the first car I ever drove. The one dad tossed me the keys to. I was 15, and wanted something better than the factory one dash-speaker and analog dial AM radio haha
The 280ZX was the first car I bought myself, when I was 17, and all but the 6x9s came in the car. Just after that was when I really started to get into audio for cars, but hey we all started somewhere. One reason I know all about crappy gear is because I've been there myself, and I know the process of learning what to do with a car..
how folks over-do it at first, then eventually learn that "KISS" approach and figure out how to make a simple, clean system that pounds. :)

It's a fun journey.
