Yeah the box is kind of crude but I got the whole setup for $200 from a guy here at work. It’s two 12″ Alpine Type-E’s and an Alpine 750w peak amp. It’s a good buy considering I didn’t have to buy materials and spend time building a box, I didn’t really have to do much of anything besides hand him 2 benjamins. I’ll be carpeting it soon and going over the amp and subs with some alcohol and a q-tip. Yeah I’m fanatical.

I wanted a Power Acoustik Mofo-15 and 2000watt amp, but decided that $700 was a little much to invest into a stereo for a hobby/toy right now. Plus I’ll be going topless (the Bronco will be…dirty mind!) this summer and don’t want someone nabbing a $700 system. Sure It’d suck to lose a $200 system but these are hand-me-downs and still hit as hard as I need them too. We’ll see what the future holds. That PA Mofo-15 may not be such a bad idea after all… Hmm… I wonder what 2 12’s and a 15 would sound like with 2700 watts?

$500 big ones. That’s how much it cost me to have a new Ford AC compressor put on (front seal was leaking and I had very little freon left) and a new AC pulley (I apparently had an aftermarket one on that was too wide for the belt and was causing it to whine VERY loudly). I would’ve put something simple like this on myself but it required a recharging of the AC system afterwards and just seemed like more trouble than it was worth. The mechanic that put it in for me is a good friend, so I was happy to oblidge.
