As an ex-IASCA sound quality judge, i find little in the NEW department of interest. See if you can find an old Sony XES system.

As for amplification IF you can;t find the Sony XES, my suggestion would be to try Audison amplifiers and for mods/highs the NOS Nakamichi 6.5-inch separates loudspeakers.

Head units can vary and have been away too long to know what the new stuff offers (except the Pioneer AVIC-1). The OLD Alpine head units are very good and go for decent $$$ on Ebay nowadays. Just yanked one out of the Ferrari in favor of the Pioneer AVIC-1 as i needed GPS and making a custom DVD-Video of the car for car shows.

That's all i got. See if there are any IASCA competitions near you and look for the SOUND QUALITY cars, not the SPL stuff. Hope this helps.

Enjoy the Music,

NOTE: Perhaps buy a pair of KEF 104/2 loudspeakrs and use the drivers and crossover in the car???
