In this conversation, Scott and his guest, Adam Fuller dive into the nostalgia surrounding car audio systems, from the 1980s. 

Back in the 80s, car audio was more than music—it was an identity. Some kids turned their hatchbacks into rolling boom boxes with amps, equalizers, and enough bass to rattle windows three blocks over. Meanwhile, others (like me) were just hoping the FM dial worked under an overpass.

This week, I sit down with a true car audio wizard to talk pull-out stereos, cassette binders, bass wars, and why it all made perfect sense in the 80s. One of us had a system so powerful it could shake drywall. The other… had stock speakers in a 1986 Isuzu truck. Guess which one’s hosting the podcast.
