Who is Gonna Buy A New Jeep Grand Wagoneer For the MacIntosh Stereo?

I only paid $60k for mine with an Alpine system. That runs $100k and can't do this so hard no...

Unfortunately high end sound systems in cars/trucks/SUVs are a waste of money.  You’re just not going to get the experience you’re looking for with an engine, tires, and other vehicles all competing for your ears.  I left the Burmester option out of my 911 because it was a stupid option for a car like that.  You’re listening to the engine music, not “Live at the Village Vanguard”…

Frankly, I wish car manufacturers would work on better ways to integrate today’s tech (or better yet, completely disable it) to reduce the amount of distraction for a driver.  I see countless examples of people with their heads down looking at a device while holding the wheel with one hand and no clue of their surroundings.  And no, self-driving, electric, glorified golf carts are NOT the answer.

80 pounds of Dynamat will do wonders for the noise floor in most vehicles and exponentially increase your enjoyment of the audio system. While an extra 36 kilos of extra weight might be like chalk on a blackboard to sports car enthusiasts, the extra mass may increase your survivability if you happen to collide with a more bulky foe -- like a Jeep Wagoneer.

Bad reliability and a ridiculously high price? Where do I sign up?

For best sound, use tire lifters.
