But my question is why? Why strive for the best quality of music in cars, when surely this is affected by road noise, the dynamics of a car and the natural environment. I’ve never understood this point….

Not dissin, just asking…

mostly because of the challenge 🙂
it is easy to get good sound in the home, it is a lot more difficult to do it in a car, the challenge is what makes it fun.
the car is also where I listen to most of my music

well that is at least why I do it, I can’t really speak for other people 🙂

oh there is also the social aspect of the competitions too. being able to chat to people with similar interests, seeing how other people have tried to address some of the obstacles a car presents as a horrible acoustic environment. I also get a lot of pride out of doing my own installation work and tuning of the stereo.
I have made many friends across the country through car audio competitions.

for your information the majority of us do keep it inside our cars, in fact most of our stereos aren’t even all that loud. the music we use to judge the cars is 90% jazz, hardly doof doof is it?

just because you drive a car doesnt mean i automatically assume you are doing burnouts at every corner do i? there are those of us that put an aftermarket stereo in our car simply because we want to get the best possible quality of music in our cars not because we want to disturb the neighbours. btw i also cant stand people that drive around with their stereo on full ball for all to hear, i just get sick of people stereotyping me because i have a stereo in my car when i am driving around listening to a mix of soft rock, classical and jazz.

I would be interested to see how the B & O system in the A8 or the Mark Levinson system in the Lexus would go in your competition.

If it’s a standard system it will get soundly whooped by a decent aftermarket setup.

The louder the music, the greater the lack of taste.

Probably s***house, but feel free to come along.

fyi we are not all about “doof doof” as you so kindly put it, but rather strive towards producing a car sound system that accurately reproduces the music true to source. maybe instead of stereotyping us you should take the opportunity to hear what music should sound like inside a car.

Part of the event is a dB competition, which is the epitome of doofery. Not hatin’, just sayin’. 😉

We wouldn’t care if you kept it inside your car, but usually we can hear what it sounds like from inside our own cars or homes. If it can be heard from outside your car it is not a sound system..it is noise pollution.
