No, quite simply. You're making that same mistake in judgement, that just because someone else is in some way affected by it, (in this case, can hear it) that it is for them. Just because someone has loud music playing, does not mean it is for show.
And since stereos don't come with decibel readings, watts is what we'll use.

A guy could have 4 15 inch subwoofers running 6,000 watts, and it
still doesn't make it a "show" item in any way. It's a show item if he has it for bragging rights - not a show item if he simply has it to hear the noise.
Completely irrelevant to the discussion. Also, whether you're a fan of listening to music in cars or not, like I said, it's the one place I can and do play music whenever I want, and as loud as I want, which takes everything bad you can say about it away, because it's still option #1 for most people, as even those with big stereo's in their houses often don't use them much.
