Ok...now keep in mind, this is my advice...and I'll admit...it may not be for everyone.

For those of us on a budget, a game plan must be set to ensure that we get the most for our money. What you you consider as the best tactics.

Ok...

  • Take your time - Don't get in a rush to simply buy just something...take your time
  • Fill up your gas tank - Drive and drive and drive, if your not familiar with a type of speaker (or component) find out where it's at...and within reason...drive to audition it. Ask for an in home audition when possible.
  • If you find you would like to audition a type of component that isn't readily available, ask if anyone in your area has one (of that type) in various audio forums. You may find you can audition that speaker (or???) after all
  • Listen to yourself...but only buy once you are sure that's the right component for you to buy. Who knows what you like better than yourself. But, be careful...it's easy to lie to yourself...just because something may be the popular thing to buy...if you don't like it. Don't let someone talk you into buying it. Again...if your not sure...wait!
  • D.I.Y.
  • HAVE FUN!





I wouldn't worry much about how much money to allocate to which part of your system. There are some good bargains out there...and some overpriced junk. So you can be all over the board. Also, if you don't mind doing DIY or kits...you can save some money in that category.



take care all>>>>>>>>>>>>
