[QUOTE=VQ35HR;27088922]so you think that because your truck is unnecessarily loud (which is stupid, a ferrari can be loud, a beat up truck shouldn`t be) it`s louder than my system my soundsystem is probably worth more than your truck lol [editline]31st December 2010[/editline] don't you drive your mom's old base subaru?[/QUOTE] I have a car and a truck. The Subaru isn't base. It's an OBS which has the larger 2.2 and upgraded suspension as well as upgraded frame. I also have a '79 K20, fairly similar to justin1992's truck, except mine is a fleetside 3/4 ton. It has a rebuilt 350ci. Both of which I much rather hear the sound of rather than a radio's. [QUOTE=VQ35HR;27089008]and driving in traffic and such is usually a pain, and listening to your music in awesome quality makes it sooo much better and when I'm at home I have better things to do that listen to my ipod[/QUOTE] Where I live, there isn't much traffic. Even if I do get stuck in traffic, I would rather hear the rumble of my 350 or the rumble of my Boxer.

Our trucks are classics; priceless, you can even say. To find trucks in as good as shape as mine and ford's would take you YEARS. And they are NOT beat up old rusted pieces of shit with bench seatbelts. Quite the OPPOSITE. I paid somewhere around $300 for my sound system, and i can almost guarantee that mine is on par with yours. And if it isn't, so what? What do you get for dumping every cent you own into the sound system of your vehicle, instead of the vehicle itself? That's just going to get you a piece of shit ride with music loud enough to get you tickets for noise violations and hearing aids at the age of 30. Proves how stupid you are.
[QUOTE=justin1992;27088984]I rated all of your posts dumb as well. Want to thank me for those, too? Want to know WHY? Because the more i read your posts the more i can't help but think you're just...Dumb. An idiot.[/QUOTE] I don't care what you rate me, if expressing my opinion against your stupid biased one is 'dumb' then so be it. You like your old truck, I like newer japanese cars. You like listening to your engine, I like listening to music. I don't talk shit or rate you dumb until one of you guys rates me dumb for something that's my opinion. You're the idiot if you think your love for old shitty rusty cars is somehow better than my love for electronics and newer cars, stop being so full of yourself with your redneck truck with like 10 bumpers [editline]31st December 2010[/editline] [QUOTE=justin1992;27089109]And here you just don't have any idea what you're talking about.

There's a reason people prefer certain things over others, it's called personal preference. Your preference isn't any better than mine, and just because it's loud doesn't mean I don't know how sound isolation works. GTFO

Just bullshit. And ironic, at that. You call me biased but then you say brand new japanese cars are the best, and any old vehicle is a piece of shit rust bucket. Then you say you don't talk shit and yet for the past 3 pages you have been hinting about how old vehicles are unsafe, rusted out, utter pieces of shit and new jap vehicles are the best ones in the market. And your last sentence is nothing BUT biased bullshit. Love for old shitty rusty cars, full of myself with my redneck truck with 10 bumpers...You're just about as fucking stupid as they come man. Come on.

My truck has around 10k miles on the freshly rebuilt 350, all of the fuel lines, brake lines, transmission lines, etc. have been redone, the brakes are all new including the hardware, there is surface rust on the underbody (no soft spots what so ever) only rust holes being in seams on the inside of the bed (where salt gets stuck and eats away) All in all, there is around $15k invested into my truck.

I call the head unit a radio, sorry if that confuses you. I don't say "I'm getting a new head unit for my car" I say "I'm getting a new radio for my car." Old vehicles aren't as safe as new cars, but they aren't as unsafe as you are making them out to be. The only big difference is no airbags. My truck (I'm assuming justin's does too, but I'm not sure what year they added this) has padding on the dash that is about 1/2" thick.

Well I just got a new head unit for my durango. A kenwood I can't remember the model but even with stock speakers it definitely changed the sound a lot.

Most likely has more rust than my truck. Comparing my truck to my Subaru and my moms Jeep, I have way less rust than both of those. My dads truck is the only vehicle we have with less rust, and that is because it spent the majority of it's life in Florida. Oh, and I'm saving up right now to hopefully do a body off restoration this summer.

You guys are just feeding the troll.
[QUOTE=VQ35HR;27089647]does not have any rust holes, unlike yours dude are you legit trying to say that old cars are not as unsafe as I make them seem, compared to today's cars? really really really[/QUOTE] Yes. It sounds like you think you are bound to die riding in one.
[QUOTE=FordLord;27089703]Yes. It sounds like you think you are bound to die riding in one.[/QUOTE] If you get in an accident, yes. Way more likely than a newer car.
You all suck. A decent headunit with some $30 Walmart speakers to replace the stock paper ones is good enough for most. That setup may lack bass but atleast the music has decent clarity and volume. You can always add a sub later you act like you have to put it all in at once.

You can always add a sub later you act like you have to put it all in at once.[/QUOTE] the walmart ones will be the same quality as the stock ones in the car if you get them for $30, maybe even worse depending on the car but am I really the only one that thinks an awesome soundsystem is as appealing as a loud car or whateverthefuck the counter argument is no one likes quality soundsystems?
I hear my $30 speakers over my straight piped SR @ 4k RPM on the highway. No sound deadening in the trunk. The tone of the engine washes out the mids a bit but I'm sure if I got higher quality speakers and a sub it'll sound great.
I really don't see why you guys are arguing. Some people hold great value in their old vehicles which they know well and can fix up themselves cheap to get them from A to B. I don't know why anyone would have a problem with that. I also don't see the problem where someone wants to spend a little extra for some nicer car audio equipment. Not everyone likes to listen to their engines on two hour car trips and while I like the sound of a turbo spooling, I also like to listen to my favorite bands in something better than a speaker system consisting of paper and foam.
So you're telling me my $30 Pioneers are the same quality as my 16 year old crusty ass paper speakers? k.

btw whoever said something about the roof rack delete eliminating wind noise was right, I've noticed that I can actually hear my radio clearly now at ~80mph

I'm talking about cars that don't come with upgraded stereos IE my 240, my friends corolla, ed's wrx
oh and you can get a 1000 dollar ebay turbo, or a 7 thousand dollar GReddy turbo sure the 1000 dollar turbo will still be a turbo, but it won`t be very good, and the quality just keeps going up with price same with speakers [editline]31st December 2010[/editline] [QUOTE=Blaster;27090134]My highs are excellent my mids are drowned out by my exhaust If that's the case why even bother wanting to upgrade?

i wouldnt spend more then 1000$ on a turbo and then it would be an oem ihi or mitsubishi turbo also here is some awd porn to get you all to shut the fuck up [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jYNeAHjlv_s[/media]
What I was trying to get across was somebody saying that investing $250 into a stereo system is a complete waste of money isn't true at all. You can get a decently sounding setup with walmart stuff if you drive a car equipped with weak ass paper speakers. [editline]30th December 2010[/editline] Ed had walmart speakers in the s2k and they sounded better than the Type-Rs or whatever that are in the WRX now.

good quality mids provide more then enough thump
I understand you get what you pay for. I don't think you understand that not everybody needs the highest quality radio components in their car. If dude wants to spend $250 it'll sure sound better than leaving the stock stuff in, if and only if the stock ones were utter pieces of shit like mine.
also vq your question sucks what about some people(me) who are stuck in the middle not willing to drop big bucks on an amped system but willing to get a nice component setup to be run off deck power [editline]31st December 2010[/editline] tl;dr do what you want and stop bitching
