[and so on...]

As I re-read my posting about the inappropriateness of auto-audio to this
group, I realize it was a bit more caustic than I had intended.  However,
I still maintain that with present technology, no matter how much money one
invests in a car stereo system, the sound quality is simply not going to
approach the typical equipment discussed in this group.

[I agree; however, car audio is where a lot of audiophiles get started.
The same rigorous techniques apply. Let's just say, if it's related to
build-it-yourself, and the same information could apply to home audio,
it's appropriate. OK?	-tjk]

I agree that there is certainly merit in trying to obtain the best possible
sound in a car.  Since there seems to be such a large market based on this
thought, perhaps a rec.audio.auto is appropriate.  Are there any rec.audio
readers who can tell about how much of rec.audio is currently concerned with
car stereo?
