Expert Opinons Welcome

Your best bet is to do waht I do.

I buy my cd's and rip them into itunes using apple lossless from the options for importing. Just a warning any burned cd's will probably be from the internet and be compressed anyway. Lossless format takes up a LOT more space on your hard drive and ipod but with the systems I am using I can hear the difference with the bass quality and mid bass as well.

Look at the sticky at the top of the audio forum called car audio 101 for more info about formats and compression.

*2fast* Thank you for the input and suggestions, I really appreciate the reasoning as well

I know you have some experience with these subjects and everything is based on what you have done and seen. I am of course going to be referring to yours and others' suggestions while making the decisions for the build.

I do appreciate that everyone will have different opinions about sound quality based on what we each perceive to be "the best sound", but I really enjoy hearing the opinions here as nearly everyone has more experience than I do lol. I also enjoy hearing the experienced folks discuss back and forth why they disagree with one another (if and when they do), this is one of the best ways for me to learn.

*bigaudio* When you say lower end I assume you are referring to the engineering or build quality of the units (fairly easy to ascertain I would imagine)? or were you referring to the actual perceived quality of sound from them (more subjective of course)?

Thanks

Aubrey
