[QUOTE="sk7500, post: 7262104, member: 631477"] Hi every one: I'm currently building a Factory Five GTM and it's just about time to start to design around the stereo system. I used to compete in early 90s with a PPi MB quart system. After I stopped competing I went to a complete Soundstream system. Of the two systems, for everyday use I preferred the Reference system because it was bulletproof. Family obligations have kept me out of the industry until now. After a little investigation I find all the big players from my era have been sold or fallen victim to the internet and the continual race for the bottom dollar. I love the look of the new reference series by Soundstream and was looking at the new ref5.1000 amp and reference separates and the new double din nav system for a head unit. I have been reading conflicting reports as to the quality of the new Reference series by Soundstream. I tried doing the search strategy but either I'm doing it wrong(probably) or there isn't much information available I don't know what to do for a sub as the car I'm building has very little room. I might be able to squeeze out 3/4 cubic foot somewhere but I think that's about it. I generally like the sound of a ported enclosure, but this car may force me into a sealed. Any opinions or experience with the the new reference series equipment would be much appreciated. Thanks [/QUOTE]
