I'm a bit of an audiophile, just throwing that out there beforehand. Maybe not to the extend of Koa, as I have not done music mastering myself.

Bluetooth audio quality has a gotten a lot better in the past couple years, but still suffers compared to a CD (if mastered correctly and not just with all volumes LOUD as a lot of record labels record nowadays) or a usb device loaded with high-quality audio files (at bare-minimum, a higher-bit-rate mp3, or preferably, a FLAC file or similar).

Recent upgrades in Bluetooth hardware and software protocols have made transfer speeds faster than ever, but at the end of the day, Bluetooth is always compressing the audio file to an extent before streaming it to the device it is connected to. Certain music genres are more noticeably different than others. To me, it just always sounds like an old 128kbps mp3 from early online music download days...

Agreed with everyone else concerning the car problems when the bass is hitting. A capacitor set-up sounds like it might help. You shouldn't need a new battery/alternator for just two 12's, unless you're running some crazy amplifier on this thing...
