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.

Hello,
I had a HK system in the Mercedes. That was very nice. I have a basic Ford now with the Sync 1 system. With Tidal Connect it sounds really good. No more commuting to work so I don’t need anything special. My wife’s Honda CRV touring has nine speakers. It sound really great with Tidal app. A good source really helps. 
Threads like this one are always used by some members to brag about the cars they own.
Surprised how many folks on here seem dismissive of car audio. Sure it’s not your all analog 2-channel where Miles David literally appears in your listening room, but cruising and bumping the toons is a blast. 
An X5 I drive sounded so so, but I upgraded with the full Bavsound package, all drivers, woofers, amp and DSP, and it’s all tailored to the vehicle without customization and it rocks. 
Way back in the day I had a Mazda sedan with 2 18” JL W3s, Memphis Audio amps, and MP3 player, and JL components and it was all soundproofed. I had to get a second car battery, and oh do I miss those days. 
Can’t imagine loving music and shunning car audio. Can’t imagine many things these days. 
My Lexus has a Mark Levinson system in it. Designed for the car, sounds great with classical or jazz.


But honestly, while the Lexus IS really quiet, it is still not the kind of quiet required for a true audiophile experience. So, you real;y have to wait to get home… or Bose QuietComfort on the plane.
