captpackrat 05/21/19 8:58:40 AM #6:	I have a nice system in my car. I don't run it particularly loud, but the quality of the sound is so good it's like you're listening to the music live. I stick in a CD of Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D minor, and you feel the organ in your chest, just like a real pipe organ. If that song comes up while I'm in my car and I've already arrived at my destination, I just sit there with the engine running until it finishes. I get in my roommate's Subaru with stock stereo and stock speakers and it's like listening to an old 1970s transistor radio. Flat, dull, colorless. <cite>captpackrat posted [p:922176396] in So I'v...

Im going to do the rest of the system once I pay this off. (I partially only did it because I got 90 days same as cash financing.)
