why would you want a center channel for music? i could see if you watched dvds in you vehicle or played games or something silly like that.

I am not down with surround sound in a car- honestly I don't give a crap, especially give all the fundamental flaws of the listening environment that are not easily overcome (you know every home theatre has a "sweet spot" you sit in for the best sound.)

your image will still never be dead center unless you sit right in the middle of the car like in a mcclaren, but whos driving a mcclaren f1? it'd just be one more speaker to time align trying to get it as close as possible.

Not into it, my buddy runs 5.1 in his car, does not impress me at all after hearing him rave about the sq. My setup actually images much better and more naturally haha!

I thought I was the only one. I dont like music in surround sound in home systems. To me it just doesnt sound right.

You only need two channels to get a good soundstage //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

Umm no? Time alignment is used to make the driver seem like they are equal distances from the speakers.

Kickpods yeild similar results.

Time Alignment does amazing things for moving the soundstage around //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif
