I've read a lot of reviews on this forum and THEY ALL LOOK THE SAME, not matter if it's a review for a LD or a review for a Zana, people use the exact same vague, subjective, fluffy describers over and over and over again. It's completely nuts if you ask me. Just do a quick comparison, it's...

ALL DIGITAL CABLES SOUND THE SAME Get the cheapest and sturdiest digital cable you can find. It's PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE for one digital cable to sound "clearer" than another. Check out this similar thread for a basic explanation: http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f21/us...uality-364565/ I work...

You might also want to ask this question at: Car Audio and Stereo Forum It's my favorite forum for hi-fi car audio.

Hi qib, I would highly recommend JL Audio XR component speakers, two 12" JL W3s, a 75W RMS X 4 amplifier for the components speakers, and a 500w RMS monoblock amp for the subs. If you like very deep, thumpy bass put the subs in a tuned bandpass box or a large tuned ported box. If you like...

BTW: Macroblocking occurs only with lossy encoding. When your signal stream is raw data the end result of degraded data is blacked out video or completely silent audio.
