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?

One of the above responses reminds me that my Lexus has the Mark Levinson sound system. In fact, it’s probably one of the reasons I bought the car. I won’t say that it doesn’t sound good but considering my high level of expectation, it’s a little underwhelming.
Sometimes I like to listen to music in my stock Honda Civic. Makes me appreciate what I have in my living room hi-fi when I am doubting it. Sometimes you gotta hear bad to know what good is.
I put a 1000 watt Alpine/Infinity system in my Camaro, sounds pretty damn good.
I will take the audio upgrade every time. And I will not upgrade it myself because I want to be able to resell/trade the car in the future. If I owned or chased restorations, then I would want the stock OEM audio.
