What do audiophiles do in their cars?


All of you forum members with your killer home systems…what do you listen to in your cars?  Do y’all have custom stereo systems?  Does the quality of the stereo system actually impact your car buying decision?  I have a B&O setup in my 2021 truck, which was an upgrade and sounds decent enough, but nothing compared to a typical HiFi home system.

I’ve got an Alpine/JL Audio/MB Quart system in my Jeep. It’s ok but the Jeep speaker placement is challenging at best. In the P-car I’ve got a Kenwood system, but the flat 6 sounds way better so the car stereo is mostly background noise. The other cars have stock systems with either Bluetooth or Sirius. No such thing as true hifi in a car. I’ve heard some really good competition systems in my day. It was a huge hobby of mine, but nothing like a home system, not even close.
@jjss49 great point. So many memories of building “systems” in cars when the concept of “separates” started to happen. I had the back seat of a VW Bug filled with 2-12’s and 2-10’s in a fully custom box I built. My dad is a custom cabinet, woodworking master so I learned from him. Did all the research, volume calculations etc. At the time, I though it sounded killer. I’d love to hear it these days! Anyway, the parties, tailgates, girlfriends, all of it. Just awesome. Music is the thing, the stereos are just the delivery…
