[QUOTE="awalbert88, post: 323705, member: 545461"] Home amps don't have to be more powerful (though there are quite a few that are just crazy powerful, such as the high-end Crown amps). If we could build wood enclosures for all our speakers (and not just the subs) in our cars and have the room for them, then we wouldn't need as much power either. A good home theater/stereo setup can take advantage of having a lot of space to work with, but this is also a hinderance at times. Having a predetermined seating location is beneficial in pure SQ environments, because you only have to make sure it sounds "perfect" at one location. Whereas in a home stereo setup, you need it to sound "perfect" almost anywhere. Wood provides the best medium for a speaker enclosure, but if you think about it, the speakers in our cars are enclosed in plastic and metal, which really aren't ideal sound conductors. [/QUOTE]
