Can't wait to see the update pics sqcomp!!

----
Towards the OT discussion on buying equipment.
I've always found online prices to be significantly cheaper than local dealers, period.
All the local shops i've been to.. treat me like crap. I get the usual "What.. In a yaris?"
People never take me seriously either, because i'm 18. I gave up on it.

I got all of my gear at discount.. In fact i bought the majority off eBay when the 30% cashback event was taking place. Other deals were simply found through forums.. You'll be amazed at how crazy some of these bargains are. Here's a rough idea of what i paid in the end.

• re audio 6.5 xxx component -- 150
• eclipse mk2 cd7200 -- 280
• dls a3 -- 200
• jl 300/2 black-- 150

Subwoofer selection has swapped around drastically for me.
• Pair of 8w7's... bought for 300, sold for 420. (Used ebay cashback, sold it locally)
• Pair of Diyma R12's...Bought for 150. Sold one.
• Stereo integrity v4... won it from diyma-review giveaways.. (50$ shipping)

I haven't had a single problem with the quality of my gear, thus far. Everything was purchased brand new and has worked flawlessly.. The only downside was the time spent searching for bargains. Took me about 2 months.. If you want manufacturer support however, you'll be out of luck.

My advice... Just check the classified sections found at audio forums daily.

As for shop tools...You really don't need them.
The essentials : Jigsaw, router, drill, and space-
