I have had a really nice system in my car before and it sounded great. If you like bass, a car subwoofer can pressurize that small space a lot easier than a large listening room and if it's tuned well it isn't all boom boom boom. I'm sure it's also partially responsible for some of my hearing loss. My last 3 Lexus all came with nice sound systems, so I've stayed with the stock systems and rarely play music loud in the car anymore.
Does anyone pay the same attention to their car audio?
How many go for the premium audio offered by car companies (& put up with the compromises imposed by all that DSP) & how many go to the trouble of installing their own instead? Or do most throw up their hands & reserve quality listening for home?
