Nope, high powered JVC head unit and Cerwin Vega speakers in stock
locations. The volume numbers run from 0-70, and rolling down the highway
with 3.73 gears and the window open requires it to be on at least 60.

Which car do you have again? I don't have this problem with mine. I have a
sony head unit w/ a 400 watt amp w/ 12" sub. I generally keep the bass down,
I just wanted a little extra "umph". It goes from 0-30 or so.. only had it
up to 25 once & that was to see how it sounded. When playing a CD...
generally keep it around 8-10. 12 on highway.

I've never had loud mufflers so I don't know what it takes to get over
the drone with a stereo.
I will say this about car stereo systems. "High powered head units"
only put out about 15 watts RMS(continuous) MAX! I don't care what it
says on the box or front panel of the unit.
Standard in-dash units put out 3 - 5 watts. You need an external
amplifier to get REAL power.
Every time you double amplifier wattage it only adds 1 decible to the
the speaker sound level. Most speakers are rated at around 90dB with 1
watt amplifier output, 2 watts will get you 91dB, 4 watts = 92dB, 8
watts = 93dB, 16 watts = 94dB, and so on.
Real amplifier power doesn't just allow you to play the system louder,
it also allows the system to play more accurately IMO. Kinda like
fighting an 8 pound hawg with 15 pound line and tight drag, as opposed
to 6 pound line and a loose drag. Oops, wrong group!

I have the Flowmasters on my 03 cobra. There defintely IS a drone
around 1900 rpm, but it's at a very small rpm-range (probably 100rpm
orso) and it really doesn't bother me. I'm pretty picky so it's not
bad at all.
