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.

So, the correct answer is, "Whatever they want."

Sorry, you asked.

In my C-2, which is a DRIVER that I decided to buy after years of trailer-queens and a room full of dusty trophies, I put in a system against all the "rules."  The C-2 world is composed mostly of people who "listen" to their cars, and I get it.  I do too, sometimes. 

However, on a longer drive, I like some tunes, so I bought, before the major price increase, a look-alike radio from Antique Automobile Radio in Tampa (really Palm Harbor, but close enough for people who do not know the state.) Current price is $700; I got it for less a few years ago, and it is the same unit. 

Then, I was able to modify the Custom Auto Sound footwell speaker enclosures to fit my car, which has factory A/C (pretty rare--only 5% had it).  So, when my daughter is with me, she can blue tooth her music through the system, and I have a plan to do something along those lines as well.  

The daily driver (2007) needs a new radio--all of a sudden it is static-y when the engine is on.  I don't know what I will do there yet.

Cheers!
@rodman99999  Thanks for the information and website.

I will look into it right away. My question is, why did this start "all of a sudden" as I have had the car for a number of years?

Anyway, thank-you very much!

Cheers,
