I used to be real heavy into car stereo systems in high school. I had (still have, just not installed):
Sony CDX-M600 (50Wx4) head unit
Sony 9-band equalizer with seperate subwoofer volume and cutoff frequency controls
2x Infinity Kappa 693i 6x9s
2x Infinity Kappa 425i 4" rounds
1x JBL 12" 1000W Intercooled Competition subwoofer
2x Orion 200Wx2 amplifiers for the Infinity's
1x Kenwood 1000Wx1 mono amplifier for the sub
It was loud, it was crisp and it was clean. I loved it.

THANK YOU! Exactly. Nice gear you have there too

I am a big fan of infinity although I dont have anything of theirs installed now. I used to have a pair of reference 6x9s and even off the deck power they sounded good
Most people just dont seem to understand what car audio is to us. Its really no different than home theatre, except we have it alot harder with roadnoise and strange cancellation and cabin gain. Its just most people get their experience in this hobby from the kid donw the street who bumps his shit as loud as it goes just to be heard... most of us are not like that. I think this is probly why alot of you have bad views on us, because of those few dumbasses who do that. I just urge you not to judge the hobby based on those few induviduals. We are just a good crowd of audiophiles who love music.
