   Hi Matt,
           This is something I have never heard mentioned with Car Audio, and 
I am having a hard time getting a handle on it. In home audio when we speak 
of 
imaging and soundstage we are referring to reporduction of such accuracy that 
you have preceived width beyond your speakers, depth, height, and centering 
as 
if you could point to the individual musicians/singers/sections where they 
are 
playing from. The more accurate , the better the system and setup. What is 
the 
goal in Car Audio for this. Is the soundstage out somewhere beyond the hood 
or 
is the target for this to place yourself in the musicians pit, playing with 
them? It is a little confusing and I don't believe I would want The Village 
People or The Stones dancing on my hood while I make my way through city 
traffic. 
Cheers, John
