Hello,

this is the topic of much debate. what it comes down to is - is much do you 
want to spend and how picky are you with your sound? YES there are good 
products out there and there are BAD car stereo products too. there are many 
good items out there that are reasonably priced. also you need to decide 
just how much the space in your car means to you. for myself, i like to go 
on roadtrips and go to other events in other states. to fill the parcel 
shelf with gear is not an option for me. maybe it is for you.

i am currently engrossed in installing a kickin stereo system myself. i am 
getting near the end, right now i'm just finishing running all of my wires (a 
big job). i've got 250 watts going to a sub, 80 watts RMS x 4 going to my 
four main speakers, also two more speakers running off of the deck, i've got 
an equalizer too. this week i have some custom enclosures being built and 
installed at a local hi-fi car audio shop. watch this space with updates, 
pictures, and more in the next week or so. i have been working on this 
system for about 2 months with the sole purpose of helping to establish a 
baseline for what consitutes a great stereo in a DeLorean, and i hope that 
when i am done others see some of my ideas for use of space and system design 
and hopefully help everyone out there who wants music as awesome as the car 
they drive!

if you have any specific questions, i would be more than happy to answer 
them, and if i don't know, then i know someone on the list who does!

Andy
