Is something new and different planned?
i would look into pre-designed amplifier kits - http://shop.41hz.com/shop/
That costs ~$200+shipping, has had numerous quality issues and is only 16bit 2 channel sound. This is a 5 channel HD amp, and based on 2k1toasters other products we all know will be great quality at an affordable price.Quote:

There is a fully designed system. I work fast. :) I do not have it laid out or anything but all preliminary components are selected.Quote:

Well everyone wants to know price. I am never a fan of releasing pricing info because if I say "it will only cost 100 gorlocks" then when I need to make a design revision and it ups the price or something unanticipated happens it needs to be sold at 160 gorlocks, everyone gets angry.
If my design works (IF) and we can sell a few hundred, a $150 to $200 price range seems appropriate at this stage. And really, soundcards alone are in the $60 range for companies that produce millions right now. Add in an amp and you are looking at close to if not more than the same price. And still you dont have any customizability or car specific functions.
If price is a factor for people, then maybe I can scale it down. If it was only 16bit it would reduce cost. But I want to offer the best, not the cheapest.
That's what I was looking to hear :) That's a pretty good price! How long until there's prototypes?
Those are nowhere near the quality or price.Quote:

Depends on how much procrastinating I do. I have a large contract project I need to get done, and me not wanting to do it means I am spending all my time designing this. :)Quote:

I am talking to a representitive of a very large semiconductor company for a sample of an evaluation kit that has one of the ICs I plan to use on it for proof of concept work. The board itself retail is a years worth of car payments for me, so I am hoping there is something we can work out.
