Do you put as much effort into your Car Audio?

No, there are just too many variables one can't control (for critical listening), and really one should be doing something else besides focusing on music... driving!

Yes, i had one speaker and bought a second one to upgrade from Mono to Stereo.

None really, now that I'm older I do not spend that much time in my car. However when I was a younger person (teens thru early 30's) I was all about it. In the early 90's I had a Rockford Fosgate Punch 75 under 1 seat and a Punch 150 under the other. Kicker super 2 in the hatchback of my 944 Porsche.Also, I had ADS plates in the doors. With an Alpine pull out CD! Those were the days !! WOW! That car Rocked!

Nope. I turn of the stock radio which is always tuned to NPR.

I had to use tie downs to keep my trunk closed for my Wilson Sasha's, so I ended up buying a cargo van. It doesn't handle as well, and when I hit a pothole, I sometimes blow a tube, but overall I'm happy with my decision. If I can just find a way to make the orchestra sound like it's in front of me, I'll be all set. Maybe some mirrors?

I don't hear as many of those 1980's and 90's "booming" systems anymore. Maybe I'm do for a road trip to Seaside Heights NJ.
