My First Created Audio Build

So today I stumbled across my very first audio build and man have I come a long way. This is all it said:

3 Subs "Pioneer TS-W304R"
Inside a "Qpower QBASS123"
Powered by a "Hifonics HFi 1000.1D"
2 Mids "Rockford Fosgate PPS4-6"
Powered by a "Crunch PZX1000.2"
Door speakers powered by a "Autotek ATA1000.4"
Tweeters "Audiopipe ATQ-1250"
Split by "Soundstream PR02.XVR"
Power Wire Disturbed by "Xscorpion TB4444G"

Compared to what I do now, this is embarrassing. But it shows something important; progress. I know I'll get better at this, and I still am. If you're getting into the car audio game, just remember that it takes time and experience. You have to actually do some things to understand it (which I struggle with) and don't give up if something's not making sense. Lean, ask questions, read forums, and don't just take an answer, know why it is that way so you understand it better.
