That being said, you're correct. The P-99 or the Bit ten don't sound better than the other. It's all in what D wants to use. If he wants to keep the stock look of his new MB (smart choice), use the Bit Ten. Otherwise, use the P-99.

I am into passive systems recently, trying to stay away from sound processing.

I would never buy p-99, same as bit one. Honestly, to my ear p99 sounds very comparably to p080.. p99 is hugely overpriced SQ wise. IMHO

I had Clarion HX-D2, Alpine Juba, Denon A100, Denon DCT1, Ural CDD in the past to compare.

Operative phrase, "IMHO" which is absolutely and unadulteratedly subjective given your experience with the pieces in question.

Unless you've used the pieces, you can't objectively comment piece for piece as to which is better.

If the opinion was for any of the pieces, Clarion HX-D2, Alpine Juba, Denon A100, Denon DCT1, or the Ural CDD...we could work of the objective experience that you have with those pieces.

I liken it to the opinion of someone who is trying to compare his experience of driving a McLaren P1 to a Porsche 918...who doesn't own one or has EVER truly driven one. You can't come at the debate with an informed opinion since there is no truly relative experience.

That's not bad...

42.2 was my average most of the time in Winter used to drop to 40.5 and I always been very careful to make the calculations.

I'm guessing the MB would do a steady 34-35 MPG average in every day driving even hitting traffic or playing with the Turbo a few times for quick sprints!

We'll see after break in!

Now!!! on my way back I did a little bit more Boosting! and set the Cruise Control at 67 mph, as you can see the MPG drops down about 8 MPG !!!

I noticed that the Cruise Control in New England area with roads and highways going Up and Down it's not very efficient!

[why?]

The Yaris cruise control is amazingly rock steady. I've never seen anything like it.

If only I wasn't paranoid with messing with my steering wheel - I'd install it :3

if you have any confidence in diy projects it is really easy. Or you could buy the parts from CTScott and have someone local install it for you.

I love my cruise control. It's better than any I've ever used on any vehicle.

[derickveliz2]

Uff!

Taxes are done! and I'm ready for some Audio install!


Yes I agree, the Cruise Control on the Yaris is really good! it gets better MPG because the Yaris is very light, on a heavier car like the CLA the Cruise Control it's not very efficient in New England roads. (Up, down, up down)

Lucky. I paid off a credit card with my taxes.

That being said, the CC helped my wife and I put her through nursing school.
