[QUOTE="resq911, post: 3006801, member: 576611"] I posted earlier for opinions on a Mac head unit I eventually purchased........thanks for the great info. I think I may need some help/opinions on designing a sound system for my car. I would like to stay in the middle of the price range. I have to overcome considerable engine/exhaust noise. I have already covered ALL interior surfaces with 1-2 layers Raamat and 1-2 layers Ensolite foam. Carpet has a pretty hefty jute backing as well. I think I have soundproofed as much as reasonably possible. I have a Dodge Challenger with 4 speed and dual exhaust, it's pretty loud. The car car has just gone through a COMPLETE restoration and is quite valuable. Cutting holes in doors or anywhere else visable would hurt the value of the car and is unfortunately not possible. There are places for speakers as follows: Rear Deck 2) 6X9" Dash 2) 3.5" on opposite ends of dash Dash 1) 4X10" in center of dash Might consider speakers in kick panels as they are being reproduced but parking brake pedal is mounted right up against drivers side panel. (Would really rather not cut speakers into there) I have a McIntosh MX401 H/U with a Nak PA300II and a A/D/S 425X (Haven't gotten A/D/S yet but ready to buy. By the way, anyone know where to get the 9 pin speaker/etc. connector for the back of this A/D/S amp?) I am looking for clean powerful sound. I listen mostly to CD's. Loud thumping bass is not that important to me. Mainly clean accurate reproduction. How would you set this car up. I need a system in here so what's the best I can expect?
