Road noise and rumble. Wind hiss and roar. The droning and humming of the car engine itself. Is it really possible to achieve quality sound in an environment so acoustically hostile?

   From the days of AM radio to the sophisticated mobile multimedia system available today, engineers and users alike have always maintained an unspoken, unchallenged assumption about the limits of in-cabin sound. That getting good sound in the car is both theoretically and practically impossible.

   Today go beyond FM. Go to satellite radio by XM and Sirius. Hear the difference of digital sound and no commercial interruptions. With a fee as little as 10 dollars per month, you're on your way to the most sophisticated way of listening to the radio.
