well moron, yer doing audio in a car.

You got 12V. Wow and HUGE amps.

Your house has 120v, hmmm more power more clean sound.

A car audio setup, competition or not (which is always just Db not testing the cleanliness of the sound) IS NOT FOR CRISP CLEAN STUDIO QUALITY SOUND.

And MY ******* GOD dont start on the 320k+ Mp3 encodings still not being CD quality, of course they arent its a lossy codec as we all know. BUT FOR GODS SAKE NO HUMAN BEING CAN HEAR THE DIFFERENCE FROM 160K and up, yer fooling yerself if you can hear the difference.

Now hearing a difference from a 320k mp3 and an audio CD, yes u can hear the difference, but like I said the system in yer car is not supposed to give you 600 channel EQ and perfect audio. Car audio is for nice sound not QUALITY (in that quality is say from a movie theatre sound system) sound.

Just dont come back saying YOU CAN hear the difference from 160k encoding and up, YOU CANT. THATS WHY MP3S WORK THE WAY THEY DO! The human ear's impercepibility.
