Back in the day (early 90's), I competed in a few IASCA and USAC events (even won a few). For some reason I have been bitten by the "car audio" bug again and I'm looking for some input.
Seeing that I have been out of the loop for so long, my equipment knowledge is not what it used to be and I would like some "constructive" input for a new system. I just bought a new Chevy Avalanche z71 and the Bose stereo is soooo disappointing!
Trying to keep some costs down here is what I'm thinking:
Keep factory head/Nav unit (I know, first mistake but I like the integration with other vehicle features)
Image Dynamics tweeters - factory pillar location
ID mid bass - factory door location
2 ID 12's in mid-gate box
2 Xtant X604's from my previous comp car
Now here is the dilemma - Use RF 3sixty v2 to convert factory head signal and perform EQ functions or should I use the Audio Control LC8 to convert the factory signal and then use my 2 IDQ31's (from previous car) for the EQ functions??
I know ID, Audio Control, Xtant and RF were some good stuff back in the day - plus I like the idea of a semi-old school system - BUT I'm not sure how they compare with today's stuff.
Any thoughts?? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif
Thanks!!
