what's your car audio set up?

[radiodayz]

Since many of us, it seems, are into cars, and all of us (presumably) are into audio, it occurs to me that this might be a fruitful discussion topic here .

As for me, I spend a lot of time on the road every day, and I can't live without music, news, and traffic conditions, but my car radio no longer works very well (cassette broken; FM radio works, sort of, but the LED display is gone, so I have to find stations by ear ). So, I rarely go anywhere without a portable am/fm radio, Walkman, or a beater boombox strapped into the passenger seat next to me.

So, what do you all listen to in the car? Radio, tapes, CDs, Ipod? Factory or after-market? Current or vintage?

At the moment I've got a pair of Sansui house speakers on the back seat (huge things with 12" woofers) fed by a Pioneer cd/mp3/tuner head unit via a big blue amplifier that I can't recall the brand of at the moment, but it's 75w p/channel RMS IIRC so all in all the setup kicks plenty hard enough and sounds amazing.

Media-wise, I tend to use CD-R MP3 discs, the antenna is not connected but that doesn't really matter as I don't have any real desire to listen to the radio in the car (not in this area at least!)

Mine's Factory all the way, which you may think is a bad thing, but NO!
Factory Dynaudio splits in each door, 40w x 4 Class D amps, RDS Radio, Optical connections for all audio and data.

My car audio set-up?
Well, if I had my car right now, which sadly is not the case I would take a picture of how I make my car vibrate.
My VW Bug from 1960 is all ready for a radio but I do not have one and boy, 6V Radios are expensive! Other than that, it would only be one speaker sounding sitting behind the blind of the main-board in front of you (left of the steering wheel).
So I stuff my Crown 850 with D-Batteries and let it rock, cruisin' down the Ku'Damm and the Street of 17 July.
My profile picture was taken on the Potsdamer Platz by the way, center of Berlin

Oh, how badly I want my car back 1 day down, 60 days to go
