[QUOTE="Rodney_gold, post: 25887, member: 579"] I got sound quality as good as I get at home , at least in my perception , in my car. My brief to the installers was excellent clarity and tight deep bass......They gave it to me for R15k. This was in a v8 El Camino but not a radical engine. (MB quartz discus splits , lightening strike amp , Audio controls Eq/sub splitter thingy and a 8" sub under the dash in a custom box) My problem in my current cars (1980 vette 5.7l and El Camino 7.4l) is that the deep v8 exhaust drowns any bass....I fitted a similar system to my original one in my 454 El Camino , sounds wonderful when the car is parked , sound like tinny doo doo when driving. Anyway , the rumbling howl l of a V8 at 6000 rpm and the tortured squeal of tyres frying is far more satisfying than music......... Thing is ,as an audiophile I don't have the same expectations from a car system as I have at home and this is really a good thing , cos it takes me away from sound quality analysis to just enjoying the music. In fact this extends to stuff like my kids boombox , I have no expectations and whatever it delivers is actually enjoyable...... [/QUOTE]
