I can respect that. But I still dont regret spending a significant amount of money (compared to what I earned at the time) on aftermarket speakers and a subwoofer/amp for my car during college. Some of my best memories from those years are going up and down I 95 with the car I had at the time, listening to music.
Had I had spent that money on a home setup, I'd have some pretty nice stuff, but I got a lot of mileage out of that system. And now its been transported over to my newest car, which I commute to work with.
