IMHO, an automovile is the worst place where to place an audio equipment. Firstly, because it distracts the attention from the transit causing unrepairable consequences; second, the acoustics aren't the best, nor designed with this objective; and third, the unsane levels of power some guy put inside their cars, cause the soldered joints to fail, and some insurance companies refuse to admit them as clients, or at least it is said here.

Moreover, I HATE CARS AS ITSELF.

Several of those diarily in Buenos Aires.
