need some help, Uk.Rec.audio.car is pretty dead.

and you are even sicker.

The bigger the better, really - from a sound quality point of view. You don't have to have it at full volume :)

PMPO = Pisstake Measure of Power Output.

RMS = Realistic Measure of Sound.

Yeah - something like that'll be just fine.

I still wouldn't mount it behind the dash, and I'd still swap the factory speakers :)

Depending on how long I decide to keep it.

of course it depends on how what is fitted already.

I have a set of 5" 3 Pioneers (=A33 from a car boot sale) that I used in=20 the footwell of the old favorit in custom pods, and a set of Pro-Plus=20

If there is vagualy any way of gettign them in, I will as they did=20 actually sound fairly good when ran from my old Pro-Plus headunit.

While it won't ever win any quality prizes, for the money it sounds OK,=20 because most people (me included probably) can't really tell good sound=20 quality if it jumped up and gave them a clout round the earhole.

Why are you trying to get it all in behind the hu/dash? Amps can live happily under seats or on top of glove boxes. As for small form factor, are you using the micro-itx or going with something like the nano-itx. Keep the double din for fitting your screen and leave a little air behind it.

In article , nospam@127.0.0.1 spouted forth into uk.rec.cars.modifications...

I'm getting everything in behind the dash (although the very small amps I'm using will be going under the passenger seat now) to keep it looking as factory and hidden as possible and not lose boot space at all, and not have a wiring jungle or have to build false boot floors.

Yes, using Mini-ITX, Nano isn't out yet, but it will be a godsend when it is, and Micro/flex-ATX is just that little bit too big.

With the parts I'm using (laptopDVD/Opus PSU/Epia M10K) to most over the top component I have is the full sized 120gigHDD and possible a PCI radio/TV card as the USB radios don't work as well as some would like (although I haven't tried, and don't have one to cut up).
