I guess there is no accounting for taste.
Dopey is the operative word.

PM me and I'll send you a cane to shake at the kids on your lawn.

I'm with the old geezers.

There used to be a term back in the day that meant something in the world of sound reproduction . . . High Fidelity. It has lost all meaning in a world where loud obnoxious thumping bass is construed as 'good sound'. It's too bad all that engineering that effectively produces a rolling 4 wheeled sub woofer can't be better used to produce truly clean, high definition sound across the whole audible band rather than just a concentrated peak below 100hz.

Just an opinion from an old cane shaker.

I've been waiting for you to show up. One of my older hobbies (along with my engineering student buddies) was loudspeaker design. I was all about the Thiele and Small equations, 12 db/octave Butterworth filters, balancing SPL between drivers, cabinet design, imaging and the like. My multimeter measures Henrys as I still occasionally wrap my own crossover coils. Having said that,the inside of a Boxster isn't the best listening environment available. Running down the road with the top down un-distorted volume is going to be king. Along with multiple drivers to adequately cover the audio spectrum.
