Celica Forums General Discussion General Went Ahead and Did It (Car Audio)

I was trying to convince myself that the stock head unit in my Celica was sufficient, but finally stopped by a car audio store, looked at head units/cd changers and ended up getting a Pioneer 760MP and 6 Disc Changer. It is nice to have mp3 ability and not have to change cds every half hour or so.

So far, I am still satisfied with the stock speakers and their directioning.

Trying to think if I want a custom muffler shop to do my exhaust or just buy the TRD package.

Nice and congrats!

I have a question regarding the MP3 playback. Since MP3 when compared to wav file are a bit smaller, does it take away from the sound quality. So for example, if you were to be playing 1 song, one in MP3 format, and the other is a regular CD format, would you notice a difference?

^^ i doubt it

Congrats on the purchase post pics of the unit

Not really Chelica, Mp3 compresses the audio. It only takes out frquencies that the human ear cannot hear. So you really won't notice it. Assuming that it is compressed at a high bit rate.

technically yes there is quality loss but like /\/\ said to the common human ear you wont hear it... Oddly enough I can hear the difference in a original cd and a mp3 ripped at 128 ...if I had the choice I would have originals in my car but changers take sooooooooooooooooooo long... so MP3 it is... plus you can scroll through em all like a damm jukebox and pick the one you want

kenwood keg baby, thats where its at...then you never have to change a cd...the 10 gig is only 349 right now too...

i have mp3 with my cd player and i think it sounds just fine
