What do audiophiles do in their cars?


All of you forum members with your killer home systems…what do you listen to in your cars?  Do y’all have custom stereo systems?  Does the quality of the stereo system actually impact your car buying decision?  I have a B&O setup in my 2021 truck, which was an upgrade and sounds decent enough, but nothing compared to a typical HiFi home system.

@mikelavigne - I currently don’t own any vehicles, the 2020 GMC Sierra I drove from Texas to Washington (when I visited) is a perk.

However, I have some pretty interesting car hifi gear for when I do purchase again, of note is the JBL-MS8 which accepts the outputs from the head unit at speaker levels to integrate my aftermarket system into any existing car without destroying the wiring harness in any way.

I found correct plugs (mostly computer headers) with anything that needed modding.

Yes, destroying factory wiring etc. not something I’d like to be doing in the future, and selling the car afterwards knowing it’s not right anymore. Not my speed.

@googoogjoob - I’d never had that budget for car stereo gear, I do know your brands, and therefore budget.
I run with Audison amps, JBL-MS8, Dyns and Vifa, with Tymphany LAT. DSP does wonders in a less than perfect environment like a truck or car..


@mwatsme - I have a couple of pairs of Morel that I’d never used, still in boxes, CDM 88 and Supremo Piccolo tweeters. They reviewed well, I’ve never had an opportunity to use them yet. I moved to the US and haven’t had a buy a vehicle, each employer gives me the keys and I can use it for personal use. My wife doesn’t want hers upgraded either. She does love the home system, and thanks to a trip to millercarbon and mikelavigne she insists we get a TT :-P
