Well, I wouldn't kick it out of bed!

I'm guessing the link Pete meant to post ended up getting lost in the translation.

The only really good piece is the XDP4000X. Basically the guts out of their Z50 system. Everything else - questionable for a "high end" setup.

The car would really get the attention at the shows.

Almost seems a shame to clutter such a fine automobile with stereo at all. I don't believe anything can top the sound of that engine/exhaust combo. But thats just my .02

I see this every month in Mobile Entertainment. Usually better stuff than Sony, but rarely do I see something I would consider 'high end', and most always the equipment is mainstream. Needless to say I nigh shat myself when I saw a vehicle using Rainbow/Arc...

That ARC/Rainbow truck is pretty sick. It does not sound as good as I hoped it would but it is a purely show car...not an SQ competitor. Since we are talking about Car Audio & Electronics, check out the review on TRU Technology C7 amp. Thats my new toy...posting pics this week.
