Before a lot of us were mini-truckers, or at the beginning of our mini-truck-inspired lives, the stereo is where the do-it-yourselfer usually begins. Not everyone had welders and plasma cutters sitting around, but everyone has a set of wire cutters. The first stereo you hooked up just to hear it blare into your eardrums, the first set of subs you blew, and always having to carry spare fuses to keep that amp pushing. Here's a compilation of some heavy metal for you to gaze at while you save your money to make it happen.
