Canada CARPUTER Info

Although you could just hook a laptop to an amplifier, there are better ways to do it.

Here are Car Specific Computer Parts.

Cases:The Small case is designed to be tough and run on 12 Volts. They offer the same components, just smaller.

Dolby Sound:

Basically, It can be as easy as a sound card that supports Dolby Digital. You end up with an external box that has all the outputs you need for the interior Audio Experience you are looking for. Why buy a house. Make a theater in your car!

Umm, Yeah, I didn't post that because most of us don't need to spend $500.00 for a remote control that is ***** shaped...

P.S. It's expensive as it is without buying the "Best" available..

What can you do about XM and maybe FM if you want it? Also where would the CD drive be for DVD/CD's?
