I was kidding on the CarPC thing, although if you are interested you can build one for less than the price of a good processor, with 3833893x the functionality.

so how much? I'm good with computers. I have no doubt I could do it it's just the cost.

Yeah but it's 700 and the Alto is like 800. thanks for the suggestions though...glad to know that stuff is out there.

Decibel Garden has the Alto for $540. That's where I got mine (but I got it on sale for $450).

Have you tried changing the phase of the mids and/or tweets on that side or the other side? Free and only takes some time and could do the trick...

Alto Mobile Drive 30

Decibel Garden has the Alto for $540. That's where I got mine (but I got it on sale for $450).

Well I went and looked at the alto on the decibel garden web page...if it went on sale I could afford it in a few months...but I was looking at the block diagram and the signal to noise ratio and thinking about if it was worth running the signal through all that and wondering if I would be sacrificing sound quality for the sake of imaging. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif

I did more reading and people are saying the drive 30 is noisy because of the low s/n ratio....anyone?

CarPCs can be as cheap or expensive as you want them to be.

I'd say anywhere between $500-1000 on average depending on features.

Buying things used or off eBay will save you tons. I love the mp3car.com store, they have everything you need all organized, but it's not the cheapest.

yeah I stumbled on that site during various goggle searches for different processors. listed quite a few...I'm thinking now that i'm going to go with a 360.2 as it looks to be the best for my price range...

maybe I should just get a deck with time alignment...but then again my deck is perfectly fine...does anyone know if all alpine radio harnesses are the same...I.e if I got a different alpine would it fit the harness I have now?

Well I dl'ed the manual for the 360.2 from crutchfield and it says I need a palm os to set it up...I think I will buy one and then return it to set up. anyone have one of these? do I lose the settings on the 360.2 if I disconnect the battery...i.e will I need the palm os more than after the inital set up? sucky, maybe I should just get a new h/u...anyone?

I believe you can also use a regular (Windows) PC to set up the 360.2.

The Palm is good for repeated adjustments.

If you're thinking of using a Palm have you looked on ebay for a used one? Might be fairly cheap.

well I can't find anything about using a windows pc so I guess I could just buy and return from walmart.
