And I like old skool funk, ( and old Grand Funk! ) blues, and some classical LOUD!

I'm a fellow bassist too (and keyboardist, etc...)
And NO...rap music is not the absolute genre for high-powered car audio systems...it's just that the youthful owners (who haven't gotten their systems STOLEN yet) want to flaunt their power everywhere they go. 99% of rap music material is bass heavy, to say the least.
Makes you wonder if they actually enjoy the music or just show off...a sad waste of money if the latter is true. Kinda like dropping your ride by cutting springs or installing loud exhausts...cool stance and awesome exhaust tone, but the driving experience is nothing but a teeth chattering, bone shaking, deafening experience...oh well, you looked cool doing it!
The rap lyrics "I'm hot cause I'm fly"...what the heck does THAT mean?!!!
Anyway, I did the car stereo competitions nearly two decades ago...grown tired of multi-thousand watt systems in cars. OEM is fine. Besides, if I want to kill my hearing and straighten my spine, I just play in my band on weekends...and stand in front of my bass cabinets!!!
