OK now back to english guys compressed media digital media sounds like greek to me.
Now the head unit , amps and quality speaker I'm with you.Give ma cd player,lots of wattage for speakers and Im good to go can tune to suit after that.
My dis[play design requires differant size amps for effect Im after.While not stuck on Alpine name I do have one already and getting another to match plus smaller size will work great problem getting one to match the older one. I will be installing bass limiters ,unless someone can tell me how to keep from blowing speakers w/o them.Last set of speaker I bought came with deal that for 20 bucks you had 3 years unlimited warranty.Bad move on there part after 7 sets they decided to give me bass limiters worked great for speakers,Hey ZZ TOP has ton of bass in their stuff.

No server, but I could. Just a 7" tablet and some solid state storage. My truck is well in range of my wifi router in the driveway, so I will be able to transfer files with my desktop. I won't keep a ton of stuff local, but I can plug in a removable USB drive if I want to pack on the entertainment.

Considering the stereo cost less than my seats/carpet/upholstery, I feel like I am doing all right. Since I am doing all the fabrication and install, it only costs me time and hardware.

ya, I just bought a new dell laptop and for a c note got a notebook with some crazy 720 gig drive.. can't wait to load it up....

and to the O/P you might want to rethink the i pod thing.. most new radios already have the ubs port and a 160 gig ipod holds most people whole c/d,album collection.. I put off getting one ill this year.. and it is much better than carry'n around a bunch of c/d's best 180.00 I've spent in a long time, untill the c note notebook HA.
