AudiogoN Forums: Because your car should sound good too

Because your car should sound good too

Nice FYI piece here. Maybe one of you might just attempt this. And if you didn't know, now you do.

First is a Tube Pre-Amp. Yes, for cars. It's called - Critical Mass Tube Pre-Amp (P2-GTX)
Seems to be a pretty good piece.

Next is their high-end four channel amp. It's called -
Critical Mass JL UL-A4x350 (Class A Amplifier)

That last one retails at $11k. So, neeedless to say I won't be auditioning it anytime soon. Anyone else care to do the dirty work and tell me what I'm missing?

I had no idea Naim was doing that for Bentley. Now I want a Bentley. :-)

Goroi... The only thing I never got to try in my cars is high-end cabling. I'm still wondering what a good cable would do for it. And shielding or no shielding, I've never had noise in my installs so I'm not concerned. Just need to find a HU worthy of being installed. I wonder if I can find a smashed up Bentley in a junkyard and pull that HU. Ha! In my dreams.

Thanks for the responses.
