Cool ideas! Ipad is plenty sufficient also, I'd think, I'm so out I've never own one myself. And I would never stop you to do what you planed never ever dever me do something like that.

Your amp choice is cool, although no product dimensions, or tech/chip used details so can't tell much unless you ask. Sure it will be fine, response looks ok for that size amp. Price is reasonable for the amount of features... Bluetooth, so cool

Wires 4ch(in) + 4ch(out) scares the hell out me tough. I'll try to chop half of those 8 wires and have built-in amp. i.e. just plug the speakers.

I am looking into the newest class-d amplifiers, which is possibly what your amp there is made of, and see if we can have that 4ch amp built-in. But that is all to a paused due to the complete lack of thermal work on the enclosure. Those amp chew quite a bit of current so we'll only find out when we got thermal data on both the amp and the cpu. There is only two options in the class-d amp at the moment. Well, half-decent ones anyway, and some that I can afford lollll

hot stuff :/

Still sounds good to me Fred, although I'm totally lost in your Greek (geek?) techno speak. As you can tell I'm a dinosaur, so the simpler the better. I'm in!

Not my fault, I use Google Translate, go blame them lol My Mandarin/Chinese is getting so much more advanced than my native Montreal French.

Point taken. I normally paint these kind of threads with progress pics, vids and other 'jokes'. I'll see if I can remain in the same framework for this project. I'll also try to stick to car/general terms for you fellas. If I go too far or out of line just remind me

Appreciate the support so far. That's all good feeling
