Plus I had awesome tunes the whole ride, it was a very scenic relaxing trip!
I know some people like that stuff. My stock stereo system is more than enough for me.
I'll pose this as an honest question just because I don't get it...
Unless you are furnishing the music for a party on the beach, what good is all of that? Driving with the volume that I hear coming out of a lot of cars is just plain dangerous. You couldn't hear a honking horn, an ambulance, police car or fire truck... I often sit at red lights listening to hip hop music from cars three lanes away - and this is over my radio with the windows up and I still hears theirs over mine.
Again, this is an honest question... I am a musician. Music that loud distorts and doesn't sound good close to the speakers anyway. Mostly what we hear outside the car is just distortion and bass that is rattling the metal of the car apart.

I don't really drive around blasting my music. That sub box was built with lots of time, effort, and precise calculations to ensure that it sounded good. It was custom built with those specific subs in mind. I understand that its not everyone's taste and that's fine.
Just because it looks loud, doesn't mean it needs to be loud. It sounds great at a respectable volume, the bass is deep and rich without being overpowering.
That being said, there are times when I will crank it to the maximum to make other people feel like crap if I see them sitting at a red light trying to look cool. The main reason behind it is because this is what I do for a living, the H3 is my daily driver, but also gets taken to a lot of shows. Just this past weekend it was parked indoors at the Autorama at our booth.
I get questions all the time about my system when people hear it at even a moderate volume, and this is a great opportunity to open the back up, show them, and hand them a business card. My truck is basically a rolling advertisement.
It's also why I have this vehicle done up the way it is. This is a pure show car that never sees rain, cold or snow. It's basically another rolling advertisement because it has the name plastered all the way across the back window. It see's a lot of shows, and spends alot of time parked around the shop in the summer to attract attention. That and it's fun to stunt around in on the weekends.
