But am thinking about getting something similar and installing it in my car. Does anyone think there is an advantage of doing this before I spend the extra $$?

I like what Microsoft and Ford are doing with Sync but, for now, that's cell phone and iPod integration which is not that exciting. What IS exciting is seeing how quickly the GPS vendors like Dash, Garmin, TomTom and others are racing to bring Internet connectivity to the car through their units. Looks like over the next few years at least, it will be in after market, standalone units but not hard to see that this becomes standard on built-in units down the road (no pun intended). It has already started with real-time traffic conditions and will quickly expand to include local search (e.g. gas stations, restaurants, movie listings, etc.) but the availability of virtually all Internet data and services in the car is inevitable. I'm excited about having the Internet in the car if its fast, convenient to use, and relatively cheap. There are probably other devices that will attempt to provide connectivity from scaled down PCs to beefed up PDAs and smartphones but from where I'm sitting, it will be the GPS that...

You can pretty much see everything they are showing, at night, when you are behind them at a stop light. I have never seen this, but, if someone is watching a porn video you would (and your kids) could easily see every thing happening on their screen. In my state there has been discussion about how to handle this legally. Has anyone heard of any definitive rulings or laws regarding this?

The most common design seems to be the type where a 7" screen (or therabouts) slides out of the player. Have you had good luck with this type of design? It seems like a lot of things to "break" to me. Is a setup with an external monitor a better way to go?

There are even square subwoofers. There are enclosures with 3, 4 or more woofers... and some with only one. Which of these "unusual" or lesser-known features of subwoofers really deliver the goods? Have you found these features to benefit the sound of the woofers, or are they just voodoo? What's the coolest "special" design you can think of?

I'm seeing a lot of different options, such as bandpass, ported, and sealed enclosures. Typically, I listen to a lot of electronic music, including house, trip-hop, and trance. I also listen to jazz, alternative, blues, and some metal and hard rock. What are the benefits/drawbacks of each option?

I do like good, deep, clean, hard hitting bass - but nothing drives me crazier than when I hear that obnoxious "trunk rattle," when there's so much bass from that awesome system it feels like it's going to actually blow the trunk lid off of that poor Buick next to you on the highway. What solutions are out there to eliminate or suppress trunk rattle? What kind of luck have you had with them?

Fortunately, we weren't stuck in the family van - we were able to borrow a really nice conversion van from a family friend. This thing had it all, was super comfortable, and a real treat for us as kids. One of the things I loved about this van was the "captain's chair," or "chairs" I should say; the driver and passenger seats were a swivel bucket style seat, and the front console was huge. The crown of all of this was a custom radar detector mount. It was actually installed into the top portion of the console, and at a (hidden) button, the detector would reveal itself, using an electric motor. The bottom of the housing was even carpeted like the interior. At the press of the cleverly hidden button, the radar detector would "disappear." Awesome. Tell me about the coolest radar detector setup you've seen...

Looks like there are a lot of options out there: Textile Dome Silk Dome Aluminum Dome Mylar Semi-Dome Ceramic In addition, each manufacturer seems to have a lot of "special" options for tweeter designs that are all their own. What are the differences in these different designs, and why would you pick one over the other?

Some brands that produce these kinds of car audio speakers are Kenwood, Pioneer, Sony, and Eclipse. I'm not sure if I've ever even listened to a 4 or 5 way car speaker. I'm used to 2 and 3 way car speakers. Do you find that there's a great benefit to these designs? Or are they overrated?

I have many fond memories of driving around in one of my first cars, young, wild, and free (wait a minute.. I'm still young, wild, and free... right?) with the company of my Sony MiniDisc head unit. I still have it, and I bet it still works. MiniDiscs were great before the advent of cheap MP3 players - they allowed you to create your own custom "mixes," and they were housed in durable plastic cases. That means I could toss it into the backseat without worrying it would get ruined. And, it sounded great :) Anyone still have one of these, or even still using one?

I've always used either Sony, Kenwood, or Blaupunkt. They seemed to provide the best balance between price and what I was looking for in my car audio system. Never too many features, and on the lower end of things, but they were all reliable and got the job done. Which is your favorite brand, and why?

Personally, I always wanted a disc changer before MP3 players became mainstream. I find now that I have so much music, an MP3 player is the best solution for my car audio. However, we all know that CD's provide "uncompromised" audio quality, compared to compressed MP3's. Who's still using their disc changer? Which one do you think is the best? Do you feel the sound from CD's is significantly better in your car audio system?

Stereos, DVD players, huge amounts of bass, etc. But, I'm wondering what everyone thinks is their best "non-electronic" vehicle accessory. For a while, I used a small "garbage bag" that would hang on the back of the seat, that I could throw bits of paper or whatever I wanted into. This way, it wouldn't clutter up my car!
