Not only are car systems sounding much better these days, but as we get older our hearing range drastically declines. Being older, we don't need those crisp highs and even as good of midrange that we needed when we were teens.
Ain't that the truth!^^^

If you were rich, = Pioneer or Kenwood
if you were stupid rich = Nakamichi, Yamaha, Harmon Kardon. Altec-Lansing
I have to have some music going, as tire noise really gets to me. I seem to hear the tires even when the car isn't moving!
The older your vehicle, the better the sound system has to be!
I had me an Audiovox or three.
I also remember these le$$er expensive brands and there were others as well such as Craig, Realistic(RadioShack), Sound Design which were the K-Mart, Western Auto econo go to brands as well. And for some reason, I always had to have Jensen speakers.
One time, I installed a Craco audio system from K-Mart in a '73 Chrysler NewPort. The system came in one BIG BOX w/160 watt AM/FM/Cassette/5 Band Eq. & 2 - 6" 2way F: speakers/2 - 6x9" 3way R: speakers. $99.
R: speakers were only so-so as the magnets were 10oz & 8ohm(IDK 'bout the fronts). But, it worked!
