    ^Yes and no Brian. Here in Madison, every black person has a sound system. My buddy has a Ford Focus, that has a 8,000 watt stereo setup in it, 4,000watts just for subs, the other 2K is for all the door speakers/tweeters. That thing is a mother fucking concert on wheels. Hits so god damn hard.

    *Shakes head at Brian* lol

    I don't that car audio is getting less popular, its more that stock audio systems are on a different level then they used to be. The base F30 system has everything I'd want for my listening needs and the Harmon Kardon option is even better.

      Also, the way they have the sound system integrated int othe cars these days, both physically and electronically, it's much harder to do a clean, functional, high quality system without a TON of custom work.

          I've had subs in every vehicle I have owned. I'm just to used to them being in my vehicle that the stock stereos just don't cut it for me and also only being 21 and having no kids I can still enjoy it for a few more years I usually listen to rock but I will listen to the occasional rap song when I'm in the mood loland no not solja boy or any idiotic crap like that the song has to have some sort of meaning and make sense lol

            Its not so much about having it turned up loud.. music all music just sounds better with a bit of base. Same with home audio. Watch a movie or listen to music with a surround sound system with no powered subwoofer. Its sounds flat and tweety. Add a sub or two and feel the movie or music. Like was said b4 it adds depth not just noise.

                subs take up way too much room. plus i couldnt imagine dropping $$$$ into it since i wouldnt be able to hear it anyways over the sound of the engine ripping at 4k with the windows down. i guess i could play a track of engine noise instead.

                  I did this once with a V8 soundtrack in my VW Rabbit at a stoplight.... 

                  I fooled nobody.

                      I have 2 10" MTX Audio subs in a single box with a 1200 watt Nitro amp. It adds just enough bass for my taste, without going overboard. Got them cheap from a friend, and wired them into my e36 along with a JVC head unit. It sounded pretty good but I wanted more midrange, as e36's arent great when it comes to that. Once I got my e39, I wired them into the stock head unit and they sound perfect. I have all of the range that I would like, and that little extra loudness when I feel like it. Now I just need to replace a couple of the stock speakers which have been blown slightly. Looking into Rainbow brand for those, just waiting for some money.

                        I really want a Kicker 12" L7, with a big enough amp to where it can hit hard, but be able to turn it down so I just have nice bass during music. but that'd require an auido over haul. I'm too broke/cheap for that.

                            Don't tempt me TJ! because then, I'll be buying a new headunit, and new kick panel speakers, and a box and amp.

                            Ugh. How soon is he wanting it gone?
