Re: [SurroundSound] Surround in the car

I have a Citroen Xsara from 1999, what does the car has to do with anything?
I have a single din JVC which I like alot- had a clarion single din but it wasnt as robust and actually didnt sound so good.
Have a friend who has the sony, its a great HU and great value for money, only downside is its hard to navigate inside DVD-V.
I know most here probably use it with a single SACD each time,
but we prefer to compromise a bit on the quality (heck, with all the noise of driving etc..) and compile several surrounds on one DVD-V DTS.
It took me several years and lots of money and upgrades to get to the sound I like, but now every ride is bliss :)
Still surprised so little have surround in their car-
I have a full 5.1 setup with actively amplified fronts and center channel (ie each twitter and woofer gets its own amplification and equalize),
but if quad is your thing, nothing can be easier- just buy the sony or JVC single din, it has 4 amplified channel that sound great,
replace your old HU and stay with the same speakers, add rears in the trunk if you dont have already-
not too complicated, I had this setup for a year or so and its great fun.
Now I have 2 amplifier and 2 active crossovers / processotrs that take half my trunk (other half is occupied by the subwoofer :) )
Center channel is nicely placed instead of the ashtray... its a small 3.5" one but together with a morel twitter it sounds quite nice.
Front woofers are Hertz hi-energy, front twitters are Morel mt-23, back 9" are polk audio, and an audison bit1 processor to control it all.

That looks economical. It displays all the video from the DVD loaded into
the Sony?
