[QUOTE="Deiimos, post: 8846410, member: 682903"] Copy / paste of my comment from 6 days ago. "With modern micro-controller technology, seems a bit ridiculous how they designed this. I feel like this idea would have been great 20+ years ago, and I suppose still an option for older vehicles, but modern cars I can’t see anyone installing one of these, it looks like an ancient flea market brand head unit, with not very good adjustability. Could be cool to make a portable boombox driving a couple 10’s and highs where you only need a server power supply to run it. I’ll admit I’m not much into audio gear as I’ve gotten older, and I don’t play with it much at all these days, just trying to see a solid use for it. A car audio enthusiast would have no use for this, meaning, there are much better alternatives for SQ or SPL, or well even daily systems when it comes to a head unit, and the average consumer would be better off with a modern OEM head unit and just add a small amp under a seat if 100wx4 is needed. Just thinking out loud as I watch this. Interesting product but definitely needs a lot of rethought to the functionality." Aside from that comment, the output power is handy, is an interesting idea overall, but I could never see myself using one of these, nor anybody else seriously into car audio, and what modern cars / trucks / SUV's would you take out an OEM head unit for this? The older cars it still could perhaps be a possibility. This would have probably flown off the shelves in the 1990's, but today? What happens if the built in amp IC dies, you're s**t out of luck if you can't get the output chip, if my external 4ch dies, I can just swap it out and still have my head unit or vice versa. I don't like chip-amp amplifiers. I like the golf cart / motorcycle idea use for it, and vehicles like that. Just random thoughts as I watched this, be interesting and I'm curious to see how they update it going forward. [/QUOTE]
