	Hi.
I finally decided to get a reasonable car stereo (now that I'm getting a
reasonable car =). When I went to a local dealer I heard an impressive
speaker system consisting of a 8" woofer and a ribbon tweeter. the whole
thing ran for about $110. It sounded better than a lot of home speakers
costing twice as much. Now for the tricky part... I (being the cheap
student that I am) have managed to find a comprable set of drivers for
about half the price. The only difference is in that the woofer is an 8
ohm instead of the standard 4 ohm. Would this cause any horrible
problems with an amp, given that it is powerful enough to handle the
higher impedence? Further more is there a simple way to make a good 12
dB crossover? I can fake a couple with the circuits courses I've had,
but I'm open for suggestions.
The second question pertains to a front end for the system. What I'm
looking for is more or less a quality tapedeck with a cheap radio
attached in case I forget to bring along a tape. Quality implies a
reasonable frequency response, low noise from the motors, preferrably
dolby (either only b, or b&c)( because listening to dolby tapes without
the decoding gets on my nerves more than the noise from the tape would)
and anything else you'd like. I don't care whether it is has a digital
display, or whether the tuner has presets, or any other fancies.
Remember, I'm a college student. I'd like something in the $180-200
range. (It will be used with a separate amp, BTW, so power doesn't
matter)
Finally, are there any suggestions for theft protection. Personally
having it mounted in a slide bracket under the dash appeals to me the
most, but in my car that's a little bit difficult. Again, price is at a
premium, although I'll go to a reasonable length to protect my
investment.
