Here here. When I dumped $1500 into my car stereo, it wasn't for a 5000W mono sub amp and a couple 15" kicker subs that I play using the high-level inputs off the stock stereo. I got Infinity components in the front in Q-form kickpanel pods, pioneer 3-way 6x9's in the back, a Sony ES headunit (not flashy...just good quality), a Sony 600W amp to run the surrounds, and a Sony 1200W amp to run the two 10" Infinity subs.
It gets loud, and when I crank the bass I can make the whole car shake, but I'm all about fidelity. I get the EQ tuned to where my music sounds full and vibrant, with crystal-clear highs, resonant mids, and punchy lows. I don't understand what the appeal is of having a giant subwoofer in the trunk and blown paper-cone surround speakers and a crappy (but flashy) headunit. I want to be able to close my eyes and hear every nuance of the music.
So yeah...in summary, big booming bass systems suck, but big,
quality systems don't.
