The car in question is built for sound quality. Not sure of the current set up. But it was a baffle where the back seat would be, using the boot as the enclosure.

The front stage consisted of ID Horns, 3 ID 6 1/2" woofers per side. 1 in the kicks, 2 in each door. Eclipse source units, i beleive the ID processor was in testing. I haven't spoken to fred for a few weeks, the car is prob close to completion again with a fresh install. not 100% sure.

sweet system though in anyones book i recon.

Now would be as good a time as any to let you know that I am currently in negotiation with Arc Audio with a view to importing their range of amplifiers, in fact several samples of their range will be leaving next week headed for Mobile Audio Solutions HQ. To give you an idea of the ARC 4150 CXL retail, current projections would see it selling for around $1299. I will let you know more as things develop.

[Bodyjar]

Thats pretty cheap! I was expecting $2000+!

Let us know when they get here!

[LongGone]

Don't worry, you'll know!

oh realy... might wait then

[LongGone]

I would be more than happy to sell you some amps but if you are already in the process of procuring the amps from NZ or don't feel like waiting 10-12 weeks (usual amount of time it takes to get samples, evaluate them, ie thrash the pants off them for a week or two, and then place an order and 4-6 weeks for seafreight) then please go ahead with your existing plans. Gotta say though, I'm looking forward to getting my hands on the samples!
