Board Message so it should prove to be very interesting...
From there I'll be using a 4.1 or 3.1 Audiocontrol crossover and a Audiocontrol epic 160...
I've decided as I've over 4TB of music and movies I would setup a laptop hot swappable docking port for ease of use. I can then swap drives as needed. Plus jaming a HDD into a hole in my dash would look quite cool!!!
