I thought car stereo was important back in the 1980's. Searched around for an installer who designed me a sub to fit in my CRX. He understood audiophile, not one-note bass, and the result was freaking incredible! It helped that I did my research, used proper gauge wire to power the amps, it was quite a good system for a car, especially back then.
The CRX went away and I found the sounds and pleasure of driving a 911SC are not at all improved with a sound system. Also my home system by then was so good nothing in a car sounded like anything but something in a car.
Car audio can be done very well indeed. All you have to do is strip the car down, replace everything that rattles, pad everything else with a couple hundred pounds of damping material, and wire, and add a couple hundred more pounds of components, and you can get about the same sound as at home. Until you turn the key and start driving and then, it is back to being a car stereo.
Or instead for about a grand you can get Campfire Dorado, plug em into your player or phone, and call it good. So that is what I do now.
