I've never heard a home system that sounds anything remotely like what I have heard at rock concerts or any live concert that has someone actually playing a kick-drum or hitting a low B on a 5 string bass... Sorry, but I get very tired of the hi-fi crowd saying that car audio always sounds like crap. When done right they are very, very good, regardless of what the measurements say.
I agree. Well designed car audio systems that use high quality components do sound amazing. They do exactly what they're designed to do: to reproduce the sound with an overemphasis of the frequency extremes. But the issue I raised, which your response confirms, isn't whether car audio sounds "good" or "like crap". The issue is that the sound of the typical car audio system is highly colored, and this colored sound is what many people perceive as "good" sound.
