What do you guys play your music on in your cars? I've just installed two 330 watt pioneer 6x9's and they've yet to be wired up but I can't wait. I'm thinking of a sub but there's so many different types, I hear enclosed subs are good for dance music. What do you lot think?

This is a very tough question to answer. First, you can get all kinds of killer subs, but i recomend no free standing subs. Second make sure you dont buy a killer sub, and have no money to buy the amp that you need to get the sub pumping. Make sure you know how to install it right too, if you dont have a professional do it, usually if you buy a sub and some other stuff install will most likely be free. Do make sure you have enough power in your car, or you have...shit i dont remeber what it is called...but rockford fosgate makes it and when your bass hits your head lights wont dim on you. I recomend looking arond for deals and sales, but also know your terms when it comes to ohms, mhz, dbs and so on. Check out www.crutchfield.com for a catalouge and they have some good deals too. The subs are up to you though. go out and listen to them and find out which one you like. And some are very expensive, and will cost you an arm a leg and most of your hhc collection so be very careful with the subs you buy. I do not know what to recomend, but i would buy Kicker or Alumapro. But it is fuly up to you.

It's called a capacitor. It's a vital part of any high power system. It can kill your battery if you don't have one. Make sure to have a professional install it, as they can be quite dangerous.

I've got a busted Sony Discman (with theoretically 10 whole seconds of anti-skip that seems to have been reduced to about 3 microseconds), powered by the cigarette-lighter and plugged via cassette-converter into the Clarion tape deck that came with the car, which then sends the signal to 6.5" coaxials in the doors (which again, came with the car). I'm far from happy with the setup but I'm a uni bum and I got other things to spend my money on.

If and when I got the money to get some serious sound in my car, I wanna hook up 2 Technics SL1210s to the dash, a Pioneer 600 mixer in the glove, and a rotating stacker on the passenger seat, housing a collection of Sydney's best underground hard-dance DJ's.
It had to be done.

^^^ I've seen decks in a car! Ill have to scan the pic out of the magazine (that's Max Power, you might have heard of it). The turntables and mixer are actually mounted in a large mdf shelf and the picture is titled "got any backstreet boys, mate?" lol.

Thanks all!
I've been told since my car is a small engine I would probably need to change my alternator, or maybe even get a second battery in the boot.

Yeah Max Power features some crazy cars sometimes - our modified car scene was kinda tame before but now it's catching up to you Poms, Japs and Yanks in terms of craziness. I mean, what mental state do you have to be in to put a water-feature in your boot featuring a genuine, honest-to-Bob Mexican Walking Fish?

Well, there are also record players in cars. Yes, i think Mic Jager from the Rolling Stones had one, or it was one of the beatles. the funny thing was that it was mounted next to the driver on a huge spring so that it would not skip, but it would hit the driver if the car shook to the right or left, depending on where you are driving the car in the world. (ok, yes i know the drivers seat does not change places, but you get tmy point right?)
