I was heavily into car audio in the mid 80's. Although you cannot match the purtiy of home audio you cannot imagine the bass impact that can be had in a car. Just want to be clear there is no way you can match a quality home system but you can have many exhilarating moments as I'm sure Stereo 5 can attest to. Now I just have a stock car unit as I mostly listen to ESPN sports and 1 jazz station. Thanks for the thread you brought back many memories.
