EDIT#what i meant by the top products is, as in SQ top(not nessesarily current model) #EDIT

theres a great number of coinage spent every day on system upgrades that infact maybe bypassed for a better option of upgraded products?
Every newbie dreams of running the top competition setup?but they cant afford it.

With everyone basicly starting out with factory car stereo system , how many times can/could a person upgrade to get the "top system" considering that everyone would run the top system if they had a chance!

once , twice , three times , or even four times,,,,,,, whats your theory suggest!
leave a comment aswell if u like!

Ideally, once.

But in reality, I don't think many people ever finish upgrading.

[Pyroay]

Agreed. It often seems to be 2 or 3 upgrades before people get a result they are pretty happy with and either run out of patience in continuing to instal new equip or run out of money to continue the process.

I've found that once you change cars, it seems to start again

My current car is about to have it's third upgrade and hopefully it's last.

[fuddbutter]

i have lost count how many times i have.

even at the moment while upgrading i have upgraded again!

[killaklown]

im on the second and probably not the last would be nice to have the moneys just to get everything first time but not gunna happen

[stazed]

I tried to do zero upgrades but had some niggling dissatisfactions with my first install.
So the first "upgrade" reached the level I was trying to attain and there is no amount of money that would cause me to upgrade the install I have now.

Do it right first time if possible....

[Damo95]

i have also lost count the number of upgrades..

in my car, i am up to the 4th boot install.. and numerous gear changes in between all that.. and i thought i was finished.. nope.. upgrading again..

[SlimLim]

two for me, i'm satisfied by mine although i wish i had more wank factor amps

[s_tim_ulate]

I've never actually finished an 'upgrade'
In the Magna its been 2 years of upgrades... still going. During that time I've constantly upgraded everything, headunits, amps subs, speakers, wiring, The 0 gauge is the only thing that hasnt been replaced.

Thats CAASQ for you, you need to change to stay competitive.
Then you win and get bumped up to the next class = more upgrades

What would I do with my time if the system was finished?

the spirit of competition is always change.
you get what you can from what you have, and then think... nah, it can be better....
so new speakers, new amps, different amps, new H/U, re-do install...
my system is a constant flux of trial and error, that way the total/final cost is offset over a longer period of time.

[Midol]

Hrmm...

Not really any upgrades yet, none of the speakers in my car worked but my new HU will be an upgrade.

I am just trying to buy the topish stuff first time. All upgrades after I finish this setup will probably only be 1 thing a year (IE, next year I might upgrade my front splits, but everything else will stay). Since I agree with Shiny Car (Damn all you 'S' names) that an upgrade should be at least 2* the value of the original upgrades will be expensive.

[killaklown]

its shiny car who thinks that u need to spend twice the original amount on an upgrade.
and if thats the case im scared of my upgrades to come

[telfer]

yes i would agree 3 would be the upgrade platuea lol my 3rd and final upgrade will take place 5 or 6 months from now , eclipse splits (top of the line ) different 6x9's , another amp to power them , and a bigger amp for the subs . plus most of my mates have gone through the 3 step phase
