Why use MP3s to play in the car audio system..?

[[PIMPIN]]

Well, I just wanted to see if there was any difference and yes 2.9Mbps is a huge difference. A 3+mins song is around 70-80MB. I have no idea about HU which support USB because I use an Alpine which has an Ipod connector so it charges it as well.

I'm not sure what you mean by midbass. I've had my audio install for abt 3 years or so and so far no problems. The fuse in one of the amps blew but that's about it. Took about 3 weeks plus to complete because I gave the installer a budget and creative freedom to choose the layout, etc.

I have some pictures but they don't do justice because there is a fair bit of custom work on the A-pillars etc but I don't have pics on my PC. I don't have pics of the sound deadening but pretty much the whole floor and doors. Among others I did the following:

Alpine W200 double din head unit
Alpine PDX 4.100 amplifier
Alpine PDX 1.1000 amplifier
Alpine 17C2 coaxial rear speakers
Alpine 10 inch Type-S subwoofers
Eton Cek 650 component speakers
Ipod connector
PHX Gold 4G power cables
Sound stream capacitor
Stinger RCA cables
Stinger 12G subwoofer cables
Sound deadening in doors and floor

2.5-2.9mbps! WOW! ~20MB+ per 3minute audio file? i guess with storage capacity increasing it shouldnt be a problem. just wondering are there any USB HU nowadays that can accept portable HDs? last i checked the USB able HUs only accept USB drives n cant read the multi folders of a HD(of cos will dedicate the HD to only store MP3s...) i think i have one of those sound test CDs...its got an assortment of sounds like glass breaking, airplane taking off, drums. all as seperate tracks. i totally have no idea where that CD came from lol

how is your midbass condition? mine is about 4 years and is started to tear at the rubber surround about a year ago...i guess its from the heat of parking constantly under the sun.

even 180kmh all i hear is the tyres,the wind, the exhaust and the engine screaming(maybe some music but its distant like over the hill) then when i stop by at the rest stop for a pee i find the volume is TOO loud LOLZ. thats how un-soundproof my car is! mind sharing what sort of soundproofing u've done? dynamat all over?

Btw, if you want better quality music in FLAC format 700-900kbps then this for forum although it's legality is well, let's not discuss that. Having rapidshare or hotile account helps.

If you want to experience 2Mbps and above, try this site but you have to buy the tracks. There is a free sample album and try that is enough. Don't change any settings on your PC; just compare directly with other formats. They recommend MediaMonkey but you can use pretty much anything.

I have absolutely no idea what you're referring to hahah black glass? Where exactly?

 

[arturo]

blacklight is UV light...n there are sheet plexiglass being sold in the market that are reactive to UV. they eiter shine green,blue or red when and uv light is shone onto them. it looks as tho the plexiglass is emitting the light itself and it looks really cool. PC casing modders use them alot. theres where i saw it first. theres 1001 ways it can be used on cars too heheheh

LOL sorry bro, I'm not exactly a creative person. I'm not into these PC casing mods either. As I mentioned earlier, the installers had creative freedom so long as within budget.
