Hi

I went down this route a few years ago with a mix of Rockford Fosgate amps, JL Audio speakers and Alpine head unit. I really miss having decent car hi-fi but I hardly use my current car, commuting on the train as I do, and plus the car is now an MX-5 so it's not exactly quiet. I invested in a stainless steel exhaust instead for that 60s sportscar sound.

Hopefully you'll have been advised on the benefits of Dynamat and the like, because although your car is quiet (BMW, Merc, Honda?) there's still going to be lots of flat thin resonating panels panels. Then it gets confusing talking about 8v pre-outs, line drivers and balanced connections. Your kit proposals seem good though and will be a world away from the thump and bump brigade.

I'd say go for it, as driving these days is far from enjoyable unless it's 8am on Christmas Day, so music will help you while away the hours. Let us know how you get on.
