A little $3.6k lunch shopping :)

[F.An]

Hey Guys!

Desided today that I need a new prodject. So I went to one of Swedens best audio shops that we have in the small town i live in. Went in for 45 minutes and went out with a wallet (well read card:-P) that was alot lighter.

The shopping list:

1x Alpine PDX 1.600
1x Alpine PDX 4.100
4x Infinity Kappa 60.9 (6.5" komponent speakers)
1x MTX T7500 Sledgehammer
1x 15ft 35mm2 powercable (silver)
1x 5ft 35mm2 gnd-cable (blue)
1x 50ft 2.5mm2 Speakercable (white)
2x 15ft Double Screen Gold Plated Phono Cable (blue)
1x Pair Battery terminal for 35mmsq cable
11x RNS-e Phonolead connector (Kufatec special)

total cost $3600.
Soundstuff aint cheep

Picturemode! :D (Clickable)

Only got the cable with me. The otherstuff was on backorder.




Its a snake!


equal size! :)


It will be intersting to feed this through the rubber-plastic-door-cable-thing...


The stereoend of the Kufatec Phonocable-plug adapter.


The other end. (think its a remote, the thin red wire, but i dont know... time will tell:P)


The battery terminals.


Will keep you updated when i start ripping the interior tomorrow (or tonight if i feel that i cant wait!)

Cheers!

I have the PDX 4.150 and the 1x1000 -- they are AMAZING, and the size is killer!

You won't be let down!

Damn, stuff in Sweden is uber expensive. We can get all that here in the U.S. for about a grand depending on where you buy.

p.s. I would cancel your order on the second set of Kappas as they will only draw the sound stage behind you. Just my unsolicited .02 :)

at least you went with alpine, but I dont want to rain on the parade either...thats a tad to expensive for infinity speakers, I figure those are expensive their?

I started off with infinity speakers, worth the money!

[RedS-line]

i hope the conversion rate makes that sound a little more reasonable. for that kinda cash one could buy a k04 kit for the a3.

[F.An]

well it werent that expensive in sweden. Its just the low dollar that make everything here rediculus expensive for you american. But on the other hand everything in america is realy cheep for us in sweden.

But i think car stuff in general is cheeper in the statse cuz you have a bigger market.

And to get prospectives on it all, im 19 and i make about $4k. a month. So its about a month sallery that i just put down. But as i said. I like having things to do :)

Cheers
