That sounds pretty close. Is that for both together or each?

I paid $420 for a pair of 165v2s and trust me they are exellent, it depends on personal preference but the 165v2s actually sounde better than the more expensive focal splits.

Zapco plans are out, u-dimension is in. Hopefully get time to put damn pods in soon.

2 x u-Dimension Jr15.2x Amps (2x125W RMS @ 4Ohms) *bought today *

1 x Sound Stream XTA720.4 Amp (4x90W RMS @ 4Ohms bridged to 2x360W RMS @ 4Ohms)

Focal Utopia 165W3 running semi-active mid-bass @ 125W RMS and mid/tweet @ 125W RMS off Focal x-over

JL Audio W3V2 in 4Ohm DVC getting 720W RMS off the SS

OR

Run the Focals fully active 125/125/90 and get a 2Ohm DVC W3V2 with 360W RMS into it. Must do some testing.

SWS-1242D 12" sub

MRP-M350 sub amp

and i wanna sub in the boot mb running off a decent amp... dunno yet but, coz the setup as is atm is pretty good.

yeah the Zen is nice, one good feature is the user replaceable battery, the Ipod has an internal battery that requires the unit to be pulled apart to be replaced, so it will cost $$$. But, the Ipod has one thing the Zen doesn't, head unit support. Alpine, Pioneer and some other head units have interfaces available that let you completely control the Ipod, and even show the track names and ID3 tags on the display, which to me is worth getting the 'pod.

Yeah it can be very preicey to get a battery changed but with the new gen 3 ipods there is no need to worry about that.

I dont need it for the car as have a mp3/WMA HU anyway so its not like i can't fit enought songs on 2 or 3 discs to last me a little while, but i hear where your coming from.
