Take a look at this South Korean dude’s car. He says he is a photographer and most likely spend a lot of time in his van/car. Has Aqua Formula R2R and LinQ Roon system hooked up to a vacuum preamp. Took midrange dome from old Dynaudio speakers and has ipads installed on the dashboard. Uses wires from Accuton and I see some Mundorf caps as well. If I were him, I’d put more effort on organizing things, but nevertheless its quite a passion for audio.

Back in 1986 I entered my car in a car stereo competition. I won honorable mention. The judges said I had the best SQ, but not the loudest. Turned out that my Dynaudio drivers (tweets, Dome MRs, MW, W, were  not “car audio” drivers and disqualified me from 1st place in SQ. Have to be name brand car audio components. Who knew???

Usually it's all about an extreme buttload of subwoofer overkill. This guy's all about components and gadgets. 

I would like to sit in that van with my reference mobile audio competition disks and take a good listen. It is possible it images well including height, depth, width, etc...but there are much easier ways to achieve those things as I have done it, in several installs and I learned from the best of the best. I am an expert on sound deadening a vehicle, helped tens of thousands achieve their goals including coaching numerous champions and spend hundreds of hours doing everything I could on just one of my top installs. You simply cannot reduce road and wind noise enough to fully enjoy the system while driving unless cranked up do a dangerous level(hearing damage and situational awareness). Not in a van particularly, if you started with the quietest vehicles ever made it would help a huge amount but they are also very $$$$$. Parked for audio competition events, SQ is all I ever cared about, you can create the silence you need and a mind blowing experience that few have ever heard, including in most high end home systems. It takes a huge amount of effort and knowledge to do this but no where near the cost he has invested. I have had $30k into an install, starting with a very good transport then into a great R2R DAC.....plus 1,000+ hours of labor...Since then, more than 20 years later, I would not put more than a few thousand of carefully spend dollars into a system and still achieve incredible results, as long as parked or cranking it up when driving(on occasion)

Obviously they guy is having fun so I applaud him for doing so, just could be far less expensive, a whole lot more organized, still have use of the van as a van...
