If $$$ is not a problem. But there are others out in the market that can do similar hardware setups & Show-Cars for two-third of the price.

Innovative new design ideas need to be complemented within the confirm installed type of hardware. The theme of the ICE setup must also reflect the requirements of the car owner & car including the budget constraints. Last but not least all these must be done personally under '1 roof'. For example you can't propose a SQ setup in a Volvo 940 with multi colour 'jam-zone' at the boot for a over 50 year old owner.

$5K for ICE nowadays can give you lots of choice & variation to your setup. Go around town to some installers & check their sample istallation prior making the decision. Take note that good branded hardware will not give you the optimum sound if the instaler doesn't know how to tweak it to the maximum.

If you have time on your side, go & witness car audio 'Sound-Challenge' which are quite frequent nowadays around town. There are a lot of categories including in-car SQ setup for amatuers within $5K to $10K budget which are worth a listen with the owner's permission, sure these owners will wayang-you their setup after competition is finish & get some honest tips from them which will be more accurate than those you get from shops. Get the interest goin before you dump your hard earn $$ into it to get the best bang for the buck.

I think the next one is in Penang mid next month, not too sure about the dates.
