- I'm sure this is a FAQ, but I'll ask it anyway. I asked this question to a
- salesman at a car audio store, and wasn't impressed by the answer he gave me.
-
- Anyway, why do cars require so much power to produce quality music? Most good
- systems seem to include hundreds of watts of amplifier power. My home system
- has only 45 watts, and it's so loud I never turn it up past 50%. The area
- inside a car is so small - I'd expect that you wouldn't need much power to fill
- it with quality music. What's the deal?
-
- By the way, where can I find the FAQ? I've been patiently waiting for it to
- be posted but I haven't seen it.
-
- ADVthanxANCE!
