Actually, it isn't. My current car stereo is PITIFUL. It includes two really crappy speakers and an 80 watt head unit that overheats the CD's. I've got a Sound Blaster Live!, and more importantly, 400 watt Klipsch ProMedia's. What's more is that my car doesn't even have a subwoofer as opposed to the 160 watt in my Pro's.

You might as well invest in the future though.. Even if you don't feel like dropping 1-2k on a stereo now, you never know when you might get a better system.. Besides, honestly I can hear the artifacts in 128kb even through cheaper speakers... You owe it to yourself to go ahead and rip your mp3's at least 160vbr so that you won't have to change it later:) Personally, I think 128kb sounds like crap, and I can't really tell a difference higher then 192kb vbr.. 160vbr is a good compromise.
