[s-cars] Anyone with aftermarket sound

I promptly (6-months) ripped out my Audi Bose system after I purchased my
car (almost new).
The only thing to be concerned about is ignition whine.
DO NOT let anyone run low level signal cables down the conduits under each
door. Very bad noise lives there.
There seems to be lots of current carrying conductors that generate a lot of
emf.

Other than that, I think sound quality will depend on the equipment chosen,
the class of installer, and your budget.
