release a 'car/boombox' version and a 'home hi-fi' version and everyone's a happy camper.

and hey, it's not the loudness that's making your car trip more enjoyable, it's the limiting. you can do a generous amount of limiting and dynamic control without slamming digital brickwalls willynilly. listen to stp's purple on your next drive, plenty of transients on that record but gotdamn it sounds good when cranked at 85 mph.

and if your 80's cd's are too quiet, you need to tweak the gainstaging of your preamps and amplifiers. the system that came with my 2006 camry suffered from this problem, the system i replaced it with does not, i can turn up dsotm until the hair stands up on the back of your neck.
