That's an interesting routing scheme, Protru.

Although you realize that the "four outputs for surround sound" means that the empeg isn't going to be the one supplying those amps. You'll need a totally different product to do that. Regular car stereos only have left/right audio and can't process front/rear separately.

The empeg happens to let you split up the EQ between front and rear, but that's as complicated as it gets. It can't do any surround sound processing, it can only feed two audio channels (L/R) to the DSP.

I don't know what in-dash products will do surround sound for you, though, that's out of my league.

Of course, being a Home Theater buff in addition to an MP3 buff, I don't see the big deal about DVD-in-the-car. I'm partial to watching my movies in a darkened living room on a projection screen, and wouldn't want to watch my movies on a tiny screen in a car.

Playstation in the car, on the other hand...
