[net.audio] HELP! Auto receivers/cassette players

williams@vu-vlsi.UUCP (Thomas Williams) (08/25/86)

    I deperately need some information (and suggestions).  I'm 
planning on buying a audio system for my car.  I expect the interior noise
during normal highway driving is roughly 76dBA.  The car is fairly small.  
Price is a minor factor ( < $700), but I'd like to spend less.  Radio
reception is far less important to me than cassette player integrity.  I 
do enjoy loud music - but quality reproduction is more important.

    At what level to frequency response and dynamic range become 
meaningless in a car?  How much power is useful?  Are component
systems the way to go?  How about speakers?  

Thank you for your help.
