What do audiophiles do in their cars?

In reply to “So, I couldn’t really care less how good my car system is. I don’t do any serious listening in my car anyway.”

that totally misses the point for me.
i spend quite a bit of time in my car. , so while the sound target isn’t the same  audiophile quality level as in my house, it’s certainly annoying if the sound is crappy..and similarly the ride is much more enjoyable if the sound is good.
I’m not going to focus on the sound stage or the vibrato of the cello while driving...but I do notice left/right separation.
it doesn’t take much (money/effort) to get a car system to sound decent. To improve from “decent” starts to get pricey , time and effort consuming with diminishing returns escalating quickly. Complicated electrical schemes, opening body panels to apply sound insulation, compromises in speaker location...all in a much closer than near field listening position......I thought I was smarter than the average bear when I was young and wore isolation headphones while driving. That was a $200 ticket .

I Like Alpine R’s for Sound.
problem is convertible cars road noise. No matter how good the sound, the ambient noise makes you want to turn volume up to overcome it. This didn’t bother me when I was young but now when I stop after a drive and shut the music and the engine....what a relief.
best sound system I had in a car was Acura Legend base model Bose 6speaker system (upgrade was 8 speakers). I would take new CDs and sit in the driveway to hear them before listening to them on my home system. Worst sound system was the Bose in my Infinity.  One note bass and all.

Jjss49.... expanding just a little on your points, if I may;
What  did anyone pay attention to  when parked at a drive in movie with a girlfriend? . If your answer was the sound quality then you missed out.

what did anyone pay attention to when playing a bands songs after just seeing that band in concert?   If you could hear anything at all besides the ringing in your ears and the euphoria of seeing an awesome concert then you missed out.

what did anyone pay attention to when they were driving down with a buddy from the northeast to Florida for spring break? If you were annoyed at your buddy for singing along to every other song preventing you from hearing the intricacies of the song then you missed out.

however....you were perfectly proper if you were focusing tightly on the sound when you were driving along with your girlfriend and her mother in the back seat while her mother was jabbering away at who knows what.  If you know what then you missed out on the music and were focusing on the wrong thing
