This is our Sound Quality competition vehicle.  Yes, it's a daily driver.  No, we don't trailer it to shows...we don't even own a trailer or a truck that's capable of towing this car.

What makes this vehicle different from all of the others? CarPC as the ONLY source unit. There is no head unit in this car.  What is that Alpine in the center console you say?  Read further, I'll explain it, don't worry.

There is NO head unit in this car. The Alpine is NOT a head unit. I've had a lot of people ask me about the 'head unit' in my car. What people are calling a head unit is actually the Alpine processor. It may look like it's a regular deck but it's just a processor display. The link below will tell you more about it! =]
