[QUOTE=Nu Mixer;993571]I took a recent road trip and brought along some of my favorite discs. While driving on the highway, my factory stereo (+ added sub) sounded great and I really got lost in the music. (I'm sure you all can relate to that awesome feeling of an open stretch of road and great tunes!)

Then I put in some of my favorite cds from the 80's. The volumes were so low that even with my volume cranked all the way, I could hardly hear the music.

Yes, a moving automobile is not the best place to listen to very dynamic music. The problem is that nobody has attacked the root of the problem. The problem isn't "the music is too dynamic", it's "the car has too high of a noise floor." Therefore IMO a proper solution would be to manufacture car audio systems with built in compressor limiters (bypassable of course), NOT to manufacture non-dynamic lifeless music that sounds flat and fatiguing on ANY system.
