even if u were an enthusiast\specialist\legend\hobbyist in ur field or things u like & spent ur lifetime behind it, it doesnt mean ur kids\grandkids are\will be too & doesnt mean they will hold on to d things u held dearly, they will simply say they not interested & get rid or it to clear space or get d money value of it

early in my life i have seen that happen to alot of ppl & their families so thats why i dont hold on to or collect anything cause when ur dead u cant carry it with u & ppl wont keep it in honor of ur memory ...

So true, my kids I doubt will be into car audio. Car audio equipment brings me joy and when I'm gone whatever happens to my stuff wouldn't bother me cause I'll be dead lol. Have to enjoy it while your here I guess.

I will haunt my kids if they sell my gear if I leave this world.

My spirit will live inside any car they own, and I will cause problems with their stock audio.

Only way to break the curse is to install the equipment I held near and dear to me.
