it would do away with any EQ or anyhting like that. It would even take care of the crossovers and things. I say go for it. The problem will be the middle channel. I would try to put it in that little cover in the middle of the dash. Maybe cut it out alittle? I dont think that you would go for that though. I could see an extra 6X8 or 6X9 there maybe. The brake light will get in the way though. I guess abandon the middle channel and see if you can get it to support 4.1. It will make it really easy for the amps and if you just got another two channel amp, you could do a the front speakers on the front outputs and the other amp on the back ones. And then the subs would have their own dedicated mono channel. I think if you just disconnected the middle channel you would be fine. What is cooler then a software encoded crossover with variable settings? It would be the perfect addition. Also if you could put it in the back or under a seat the wires would be a breeze. It is almost too perfect in my opinion. So what do you think about it?

I never planed on using an equalizer anyway It says it supports 4 channels, and here's the beauty of the situation. my amp is a 4 channel amp.. i already have all the speakers wired to it throught the 4 channels, except coming from the mini right now, i have a split on the left and right channels to split the 2 channels coming from the mini into the 4 channels on the amp.. AND the amp that powers the sub is a mono amp. so also to me, I think it's the perfect solution. I'm going to go for it. But more then likely after CJ. i have many other things to do in the 3 weeks i have left. many many other things..

that's because this is the first post I made about it.. I was keeping it a secret until now because, well to be honest, I just felt like it LOL.

I have a rare spearco front mount intercooler in my garage that I still have to install (more then likely not before catjam, because i want to experience driving the car without it first, so when i put it on i actually know what difference it makes)
and before CatJam, i'll be adding dual side exit exhausts. Here is a quick picture I took right after it arrived, it's not in a proper position, but it gives the general idea:

Here's a little update, i got everything hoooked up! (well except the power regulator) however i did plug the monitor and computer into a regular outlet to test it out.. everything works like a charm.
Here's a pic of the screen in action. (P.s this is the best picture i could take before the battery died)

EDIT: I should also like to mention that I got the voice working.. i'ts a great feeling when you ask your car "what time is it?" and it answers back.. I even played chess with my car for the very first time. LOL

Baxo! I have a genious idea for a desktop wallpaper... get a picture of a stock clock and vents and crop it to the correct size.

I wanna see this implemented at CJ, beehotch! That is if you can get the car there without stalling it too much! :hick:

Ok, I guess I've ragged on you enough about the 5-speed thing.

OH dude.. learning to drive 5 speed is the least of my worries right now, to tell you the truth.. I still ahve to make it road legal.. and without an exhaust system that can't be done..and let's jsut say.. there are some complications right now. i just hope to God it can be solved and put on the road in time for CJ.. even if it's the day of CJ and i have to learn to drive it on the trip there.

Freeway driving will be easy... it's that infamous stoplight on a hill with a big truck behind you that's the tough one to master.

i ahve 2 hills to practice on.. one is "Effingham hill" out in the middle of nowhere.. so no cars usually.. and the other is clifton hill.. the heart of Niagara Falls.. filled to the brim with tourists.. once i master Effingham hill.. i'm gonna try my hand on clifton hill.. now that's a big risk!
