Eagles-Hell freezes Over
Metallica-Black Album
I saw a couple of install shops using the Metallica disk for dynamics and noise. Lots of changes from quiet notes to really loud ones. Plus they spent a LOT of time recording it to make it sound just right. Of course it helps that Metallica is one of my favorite bands of all time!

The "IASCA" test CD is great for everything from tweeters to subs midbass to stereo imaging. but the CD that sounds best in my car is Dave Matthews Listener supported!

If you are going to use metallica...the black album is good but you should also try the Berkeley album with the orchestra. My old favorite is, "I like the cars that go boom". Plenty of bass and tweets.
Of course I always pop in the art of noise for stereo panning effects.
For guitars and sound purity try "The Sundays" or good old Rod Steward's unpluged.
Good sh..t!!!!!

I like to use: The Dave Brubeck Trio - Time Out ...Excellently recorded jazz album. Full piano, drums have lots of ambiance. Eagles - Hell Freezes Over ...for the reasons listed above. Hum - Downward Is Heavenward ...extremely powerful distorted guitars, lots of highs on the cymbals, and full bass drum and guitar. Norman Brown - After The Storm (esp. Track 5) ...contemporary Jazz. Clean recording. Bass and drums are very clear. ------------------ Andrew Morris Birmingham, AL '99 SE Zetec ATX Pics, mods, etc... ------------------ [This message has been edited by Drumnut (edited April 25, 2001).]

And I thought I was the only one that used Hum's DIH CD... Very dynamic recording, and some sound effects even, just to throw you off... gotta love that helicopter roaring overhead at the end of the one track...
Actually, I like to listen to Sarah Mclachlan's I love you on her 'Surfacing' CD to test the sub, VERY low tones, rumble the whole car with a single 10".
Pinback's Hurley on their self titled release is great for clarity in the beginning, dueling semi-acoustic guitars really help pick out dead frequencies. I also have a live version of Modest Mouse's Grey Ice Water that is great for clarity.
And when I just want to listen to the tunes turned the whole way up? I break out The Tragically Hip. Someone mentioned Locked in the Trunk of a Car which is a great tune, but they have so many more that are better, especially on their 'Phantom Power' and 'Live Between Us' CD's...

Damn, I forgot about that one.. I was at a Mercedes Benz event where Bose was showing off the system they designed for the ML55.. They used Hotel California for the demo, and it was just incredible!

Mamisamo, I agree with you. That Extreme album kicks ass, Color Me Blind is especially tight. Believe it or not, I sometimes test with classical music - get a full range.
