Working on newer cars gets harder and harder every year it seems like. The stereos are becoming more integrated and car companies are even starting to give decent sound options for stock vehicles. Do you think in the next 20 years that youll have to buy an older car to play around with aftermarket?
Hell some of the dodge vehicles have the option for an amplified kicker stereo with component front and rear stages along with a decent sub stage. I test drove one and I will have to say I was almost satisfied with it. Best stock system Ive heard anyway.

even in a brand new car you can add a RF 3sixty and go from there

and I know what set up you're talking about. If you want muddy bass and so-so highs...then go with the kicker set up.

Car audio to me is about trying to get the best sound you can whether is imaging or just good sound in general...or 4 18"s in the trunk

The double din head units that come in new Corvettes are pretty pimp. Im planning on just adding a sub to it and thats it.

When compared to the setup that came with my pontiac, it sounds golden. Point was they are at least making an effort now.

I suppose now that I think about it, it probably wouldnt die, just shift angles at worst.

if we keep gasoline cars than aftermarket car audio will probably die. if electric car start coming out with 24-48 volt charging systems, than the aftermarket car audio scene will be like new again. especially if aftermarket car audio gets off of analog cables and moves to fiber optic or HDMI. at higher voltages, amps can be smaller and more powerful and with fiber optic or HDMI there will be minimal to no sound quality loss. the aftermarket car audio scene needs a new platform to work with and I feel that electric cars with high volt charging systems will do that.

God I hope so. That would be so funny.

I don't think it will die, but with all the integration and shit it's probably just going to become more expensive.

yea, car audio (in a sense) WILL die... but only figuratively

Audio can only advance w/ technology. Installs are gonna **** hard but car audio itself will improve

I think in 20 years we wont be able to afford gas and we'll all be riding horses. Our saddles will probably have some sort of an ipod pouch, if that counts.

2 man enter, one man disrespect your whole family.

I think Id rather have an older car for this stuff anyway. I just hate having to spend 150-200 on a wire kit that was 7 bucks for a car two years older.

Sort of related.

I never narked on no one

lulz

I think this is a stupid question. A wise man once told me there are no stupid questions only stupid people so you do the math.

Not with LazyRider's present valuable additions....may need a "House of Fappage" like over in CT. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif
