Do you put as much effort into your Car Audio?


I spend a lot of money on my car audio system since I'm in in my vehicle as much or more than I'm in my home. Just wondering if anyone else does. I can't stand listening to most stock systems. Let me know what you have.

Lived in descent part of Brooklyn Bay Ridge and had my windows broke once in a while few times per year.
Wanted to stuff car with x-plosives in anger to stop it, but moved to NC where no problem for past several years with automobiles.
Had once car stereo removed from old Nissan Maxima, but figured I had to ring near-by car services to see if anyone brought any stereo for sale, found the right dood(poor one needed to get dose in sweat and shivering), called 911 and pressed charges. I guess I helped him to get out of needle by placing him to county jail for month or few.
Geez, Czarivey! That's a great story. You actually caught the guy.

I actually had an OEM radio stolen out of a BMW in Greenwich Village before they started employing scramble codes.

Glad to hear no one has reported an accident-related loss so far.
I had a Nissan Maxima with a Factory Bose System with what looked like 901 drivers, sounded damn good.
Hah mine was older model 1987 that I actually put an effort to have pioneer speakers and blaupunkt electronics. The stock stereo was really bad and I needed something descent at least. When I spotted broken window and radio simply jerked out by silly one who had no idea how to use tools to remove it properly, I thought of grabbing a crobar, but instead dialed 911 on the way to car service office near 3am. Car service offices were the only place to try to sell car stereos at night quick after 'job done'.
A well-tuned Mercedes turbodiesel engine at highway speed is all I really want to hear out of my car. Just as well since the speaker wiring in my '84 300CD is original. Not even a modern head unit and new speakers have done much good for anything other than talk radio and Bluetooth phone calls.
