I do see your point though, if I had considered the possibility of moving an amazing audio setup from vehicle to vehicle like your client I may have chosen do to it. However I tend to keep my cars for at least 10 years so it simply hadn't occurred to me to do it that way.

I look forward to any input from you however

Please feel free to help out my (and their) process along here

Your experience is more than welcome!

37Z - I hadn't considered fiber optics, I don't know enough about their application in car audio, big or speed wanna take that one? Something I should consider using?

Point well taken sir. I wish I could do the same, but I bore easily.

You can ask anything you like, I'm here to help if/where I can.

The majority of vehicles using fiber M.O.S.T systems are the German vehicles. There is not a big upside to it, but rather many times a down side ( I do a lot of them ! ). The problem is that the fiber is more difficult to work with rather than a traditional analogue application in terms of limited product support.

In many of these vehicles if you want to change the HU out, a fair amount of work is required to do so. The flipside is that in the ones where the OE source unit is being retained the slim pickens of products available are generally plug and play.

I can certainly understand getting bored easily, with MY OWN computers, I tend to lose interest and build new ones well before its "necessary" myself

I think I understand your point about fiber, thank you for the clarity. I am assuming that is probably why big and speed never even considered it for my setup.

I am considering some Hertz component speakers (and maybe sub), and possibly an Audison 5-channel amp instead of 3 JL HD amps, but its all still in discussion at this point.
