[QUOTE="spoonraker, post: 3112723, member: 570956"] Do the Carputer, they are completely worth the work. I actually enjoy a project more than just installing pieces that drop in pre-made slots and such anyway. It makes it feel more custom and worthwhile. As for some of your comments. A Carputer absolutely can meet and easily surpass the sound quality of the most expensive head unit you can buy. If you buy a decent sound card and research digital tuning you will realize that just about anything can be done with a CarPC in terms of tweaking your sound. In my car for example I have fully active digital crossover, time delay, and equalization controls right on the touchscreen. Even more is possible with the proper hardware and knowledge. A capacitor is definitely not necessary either. Just buy a power supply designed for automotive use. OPUS makes many models, up to I believe 320W, that all run DC-DC current, and use a remote wire to control their integrated startup/shutdown controller. Talk to megalomaniac or me with questions about carpcs, or like somebody else posted, mp3car.com is the place for information.
