Infinity makes solid speakers, I used to run Kappas a while ago, what did you need to know about them?

denim,

Does your website discuss the use of mp3 players, like ipods, in a car stereo.

I wonder if an ipod will work with my system?

See my sig. below.

Sound quality I guess. I wanted to run a Punch 501x(? that might be last year's model) anyway, about 50-85 watts to each channel and my Punch 200 (about 300 mono) to my solo 10". Just wondering if they are relatively decent sounding speakers or will I hear the difference noticeably between them and say Focals or even MB Quartz?

hard for me b/c the 1-2 shops I was at didn't have them mounted to listen on display ...

FYI

Hi Everyone!
Just to let everyone know that we have the ability to modify most of the Mercedes factory head units. With the modification you would be able to inject an AUX signal be it an IPOD or Satelite Radio. It is a direct line and not RF interfaced! Very clean signal. Anyway, we are constantly working with the manufacturers to bring about design changes that will satisfy the demands of the public. We also are a state-of-the-art repair facility and are an Authorized Becker Service Center. So when questions arise feel free to call Cleeve or Scott at (858) 373-0596 or (858) 581-6545.

maybe a little difference, Focals are at the top end of the market, I have run MB Quart in the past, on average their highs (basicly the tweeter design) is just to harsh for my personal tastes, but Focal, A/D/S, Eclipse, Orion, Rockford Fosgate, Image Dynamics, Crystal, Brax, and Rainbow all make very good components, some much more expensive than others, but these are the components that I have liked through experience

MP3 - IPOD interface

My WEB site is under updating right now to bring it current. As I mentioned the AUX input will work with portables, mp3 players, even RF CD changers where the audio can be extracted directly.
