[QUOTE="Doxquzme, post: 8853635, member: 689267"] Really can’t compare the two as the listening environments are totally different. Unless you’re driving a Rolls, you aint neva going to get the same out of your car systems as you could at home. I’ve been doing this for over 40 years. I have well over 30k in the home system and the sheer size of the area in which you can project sound in a home compared to a car in and of itself allows for an ambience you cannot duplicate in a car. (the better comparison would be, for $4000, which would you prefer and why) The goal in my car is to come as close as I can to headphones with lots more BASS! Conversely, getting the same thump, rumble and tumble at home, well that isn’t as easy as it is in a car. To equal the two Focal 13” polyglass subs powered by a DS18 EXL2500.1 in my car setup, in the home I have two Peerless dual 10” driven infra-bass 3 cubic foot subs tuned to 22hz powered by an Adcom GFA 5800 (that’s a total of 4 10’s), two, 2.5 cubic foot subs loaded with dual Vifa 10” drivers tuned to 25hz (that’s another 4 10’s) powered by another Adcom GFA-5800, (that’s 4 subs and counting), a single 18” Dayton Ultimax sub in a 12 cubic ft box tuned to 16hz and powered by a Dayton 1000 watt rack mounted amp, all running through a 4x8 DSP. That doesn’t include additional midbass punch provided by the Focal Aria mains, the Focal Aria super center or the 4 Focal surround and Atmos ceiling Focals. It can absolutely astonish you with emotional, hair standing up on your arms volume with presence and clarity that would simply hurt you in a car. Then again, hard to travel to the lake in my house.
