I copied the HTML from my previous page, and put in on here, in remembrance for my past system. =(
Copy and Paste starts here.
I currently have the following equipment in my car:
Head Unit:
--Alpine CDE-7821 In-Dash CD Player
Component Speaker's Amplifier:
--Alpine 3554. 35x4 RMS. Predecessor to current V12 line; basically the same.
Front Speakers:
--Pioneer TS-P461; 4x6's. Separate Component Plate Speakers; 1 Tweeter & 1 Midrange Per Speaker.
Rear Speakers:
--Ultimate UL690TX: 6x9's
Subwoofer Amplifier:
--Rockford Fosgate 200x2. 500X1 RMS Mono-Bridged
Subwoofers:
--Three MTX Road Thunder 10's In A Sealed Box
Wiring:
---Phoenix Gold and StreetWires
No, this is not an elaborate nor a terribly expensive system. However, component turnover is high because I'm always selling or trading something to make my system better. I got the CD player and amplifier used for a package deal of $450, the Punch Amp for $340, the Subwoofers for $350, the front and rear speakers for less than $150, and my wiring for $170. For those (like me) that hate to do math, my system totals to be somewhere around $1460. I'm very pleased with the system right now, so I don't think I will change anything for awhile, except for getting a capacitor. However, future improvements include: Installing a Capacitor and maybe a high-output alternator so I will be able to drive around with my lights on and still be able to crank my stereo, Adding a component set in the kick panels, replacing my rear speakers with some Kicker 6x9 Mid-Basses, and maybe adding some type of EQ or signal processor. This system has decent imaging, awesome bass, and it gets really loud. I think it sounds pretty good for no more money than I have put in it. My system will be pretty damn cool! My mid-range/mid-bass is a bit weak but I hope to overcome that with the Kicker 6x9's. The next piece I will add to this system will be an alarm. I live in a really small town, with practically no crime, so it's not necessarily imperative to have one.

Unfortunately, some thug, or more likely, thugs, decided to deprive me of 7 years of work at minimum wages. The value of the equipment and CD's stolen, plus the damage to my car ended up being around $3000. The police got plenty of prints on my car, but have yet to do anything about it. I have been more than patient and helpful with them, and as soon as I get the chance, I will resort to legal action due to the apathetic attitude taken with the theft. It's a fucking Grand Theft, and it's not like they have anything else to do in a town of 600. They haven't even sent in the fingerprints to be analyzed. Eventually I will be posting pictures and the police report of the theft.
I was so sick after my stuff was stolen that it took me almost a month to stomach hooking up some old equipment. For some odd reason, the bastards left my deck, and some of my CD's. I had an alarm on order when my car was broken into, but as soon as it came in, I installed it. Here is the shitty system I have in my car currently:
I also have some kick panel pods with another pair of Dayton tweeters, and a pair of Onkyo 6" midranges, but I'm waiting for my friend back home to finish Dremeling the kick pods. I'm not even sure whether or not I will decide to invest in another car audio system.
As for a home system, I have a few things, but nothing special. It's basically a system that I started to piece together, but never finished. I will probably start piecing together a Home System whenever I get the inclination, and the money. Here is what I have for my home system:
