I guess the genetic algorithm approach might be akin to have a friend / dealer who has a great system and trying to merge their system with yours resulting in an offspring of the two - and then hearing another great system... and repeating the process. Yeah, there have been requests for a 'VW microbus customization' like application for audio system configuration and visualization... mostly from Neli :-) I fear that the problem with getting a 'bunch of initial seed configurations from users' is that it is no better of a seeding than generating a system configuration from a random sample of components - i.e. how to reduce the noise level in the sample set without offending people bu rejecting their 'seed' from inclusion in the sample ... Thanks for the interesting ideas. Makes one think... Take care, MIke. Hi Steve,
