My Miata was the opposite.

Haha, in my old Outback, back in college, I got my hands on four PA speakers (three of them 6" in diameter, and one of them a wide 12" unit). Combined they were loud enough to be used in a small stadium. I hid them all under the car, hooked up to a dedicated AMP, which had two inputs: a microphone, and a 3.5mm jack. The microphone I used in similar vein as you, to do stuff like announce, "STEP AWAY FROM THE VEHICLE," in a very loud manner.

However, my favorite trick was to plug in my Palm Pilot, which allowed me to play all manner of sound effects. Very, VERY loud sound effects. The best one was a 2 minute long engine startup of a turbine engine, and it was absolutely hilarious to play that sound, and then start the actual engine when it was so loud nobody could hear it, and then slowly drive away while everyone was staring wondering what the hell kind of engine swap I'd fit under the hood.

I always find myself going back to the TRD knob for some reason. I really like the feel and positive engagement without it feeling soulless.

Super jelly of that set up. Not sure which I love more, the bezel or the knob.

I have the Voodoo knob in my BRZ and I love it. Good price, and a very high-quality finish. My Dad has one on his Miata since the '90's and loved it so much he put one on his NSX.

Here is a picture of my set-up from their website:
