| Re: Is aftermarket car stereo going the way of the dinosaur?
Well I still have an aftermarket system in my ride. JL stealthbox with a TC1000 10" in it, Infinity Kappa speakers, Alpine PDX amps. But I use a modded factory head unit and unless you look very closely you cannot tell that I have anything non factory. I was never into the flashy, booming half-way down the block kind of auto sound. Just good, clean and low profile.
I think thievery is another factor in the decline of its popularity. I myself have had numerous systems stolen. Basically anyone I know who had a decent car stereo had their stuff ganked at some point. Hence the attention to keeping everything looking factory.
