Woo. My empeg currently has less than that and I'm getting along fine. I was actually looking at this head unit for my next install. I would still feed the empeg into the JVC's AUX input though. _________________________ -Rob Riccardelli 80GB 16MB MK2 090000736

Woo. At least they've got a hard drive in there. I wonder how hard it would be to replace it? _________________________ 12 gig empeg Mark II, SN: 080000101 30 gig RioCar SN: 30103114 My blog

CrackersMcCheese pooh-bah Registered: 14/01/2002 Posts: 2489	I'm guessing it uses the small 1.8'' drives? Is 40gb as large as they get?

CrackersMcCheese pooh-bah Registered: 14/01/2002 Posts: 2489	Cool. Just need to see if it appears in the UK (and hope they don't simply convert the $'s to £'s! I've had a 60gb drive in my empeg for 3 years now and still only have 19gb full. 24gb would be fine for me. Edited by Phil. (13/04/2007 17:48)

Woo. It is kind of funny that, even though you can get 80GB ipods nowadays, they describe their 24GB music server as "massive". What's that 80GB ipod, then, "ginormous"? And pgrzelak's Empegs... those must be... infinitormousive, or something.
