My name's Mark and I've been invloved in car audio for too long. :eek: Before I get banned on day one, I'm not the thug who'll drive down a neighbourhood setting off car alarms and waking children, my audio was built to reproduce the same standard of SQ as you guys would expect at home, just in a somewhat less friendly environment. This means factors like phase aren't that mysterious to me. :doh:
I've joined here because I'm travelling less in the car and have decided to set my sights on a home setup. Seeing as there are easy ways and hard ways to do anything, I'm challenging myself to build cheap but see if I can get better than expected results. It'll be a long, slow process, probably involving many upgrades/downgrades/swaps/periods of banging head against the wall but I hope that the end result will be worth it.
I've some idea of what the decent brands are in car audio but am completely unaware of the majority of good makes (at the value end ;) ), so would be grateful for pointers in that direction initially.
In terms of music, I listen to nearly anything - as in I struggle with some forms of jazz and country music but listen to just about anything else, the last few albums I listened to are:
Dire Straights - Making Movies
Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon
Skunk Anansie - Stoosh
Iron Maiden - Number of the Beast
John Williams - 40 years of films
So that's me...
