[QUOTE="trumpet, post: 8089462, member: 628688"] A problem with this is the noise, both created by the car and road noise. It's going to seriously mask the benefits of better speakers. More power helps, but the noise is still going to be a major distraction. The way to block noise is by adding mass, which is counter to the point of this car for you. If you want an AVIC for built-in navigation that's fine, but you can save money with a different model or a different brand. I don't see the point of spending $1k+ on a navigation head unit for a track car. I did see that you DD the car as well, but I'm thinking of ways to save you money that can go toward the driving experience without drastically compromising the sound system. You could even use a separate GPS unit that is removable, or use a smartphone. An upside to buying such nice equipment is you can reuse it in other vehicles without wondering if it's worth the effort to remove it. It should hold its value fairly well. [/QUOTE]
