You (and your system) might be ghetto if;

LOL!!!!!


Nice!!!!!


i hope the magic 3 is not reffering to the upgrades under the hood, cuase, like dude, that works.....

Well, to a point!!!!!!!




Your system might be ghetto if--------


-you listen to compressed music data to make up for the lack of dynamic range in the cpabilities of your sytem

--you ground your amp to the seat bolt

-- you think that depeche mode is the only way to ge real bass

--you put a cap in your car

--if you use wire nuts for your connections

-- if you put quarters on your roof to show how much bass you got



great thread!!! LOL!

 

lol, I must be getting better on installing, only got 2 wrong! well almost, i do use lampcords but for speaker wire and i have two different subs in a box now. One is an mtx 400w the other is an infnity reference 300w but is only because i'm broke and need half descent tuneage until i get the other mtx. Does this mean I'm Ghetto. LOL

 

oh god, how true ... how true..

i work in a car audio shop. and it's located in the hood. I've "fixed" soo many ghetto fab jobs it's sick.

i once did work on this 90's corcica with home audio speakers bolted to the b pillars. 100 awg speaker wire. a ****ty aftermarket Hu that was held in the dash by two rolled up tshirts. AND.. the power wire had no fuse. and his trunk.. two 15inch autobahn subs. oh.. and the ground was about 10 feet long. uh..

i hope I didn't forget anything. lol

 

lol....electrolytic..you have a semi ghetto install

I actually like my bare MDF enclosures...but I make them look nice.

 

i have to admiit back in the day i used to use nothing but wire nuts.. they worked lol.. whole head unit wired up with wire nuts.

 

Since when does Fosgate own Mb quart? Did they buy quart from Maxxsonics?

 

o $h1t...my headunit is using wire nuts....o man..im ghetto...hope i dont get shot cuz im white

 

ive never seen people use seat bolts for a ground, but i have seen grond to the seat rail, good thread

 

you use scotch tape/duct tape because you can't find any electrical tape

 

I always say..... "if you can't duct it... f*ck it!"

 

oh and today I worked on another ghetto mobile... the battery was held in place in the engine bay by a rolled up towel b/c the cheap bastards woudln't spring for the right size battery. 1. AND it had the "door jam special" (power run through the door jam)
2. Rca comming from the HU thorugh the center of the car to the trunk.
3. AND.. this was the cherry topping..... newspaper to hold the HU in.

uh, i love my job.

I'm gunna start bring my camera to work.

 

once i seen a kid that had his amp bungie strapped to his box.also had his door speakers duct taped to the door.

 

NICE one. lol
