Quite simply, kids can't afford to do it right, so it sounds like shite - and the worst are the subs...

There's a reason why it cost me £3k just for the install in my car (carried out by a seasoned professional), *minus* the equipment/speakers and cables, simply because that's the ONLY way to achieve genuine high-fidelity sound from a mobile audio system, as opposed to a din posing as such, and that includes the pish supplied as standard in all but the most expensive of cars.

Essentially, as far as possible, you have to nullify the 'tin-can' effect, which seriously inhibits any equipment or speakers from performing well, and that takes both time and skill. The vast majority of people, never mind kids, just wouldn't go there, hence haven't much clue of what's actually possible - and in that respect, the sound from my car system would put many so-called 'audiophile' home systems to shame, and in some instances, for considerably less money
