I had two car-stereo experiences last fall:
One disappointing,
one amazing. First, when judging the sound quality of about 22 vehicles in the Pro 601+
class at the IASCA Finals in Greenville, S.C. last October,
I was sorry to note that about 75% of them had base coming
audibly from the back. Equally disappointing was the
fact that none of the vehicles sounded like big spaces; they
had the acoustics of cars, not concert halls.
However I did hear a system with subs in the back and only 6.5" separates in
the front...and all of the bass images were well focused upfront. |

It was not a typical
component system, and it comprised of only two parts:
1) a big box with a two-channel
amp, crossovers, and subs that
took the signal from an OEM
headunit, and
2) the 6.5" separates in the
kickpanels. The system, from
a company called CD TAUDIO
is known as the Platinum. Install time for most Pro systems at the Finals: maybe
hundreds of hours each. Install time for the Platinum system: about two
hours.
