IK Multimedia ARC 2 question

Hi there.  has anyone found the different eq curves for things like boombox and car stereo effective?  I tried to check the car stereo one but it seemed much too forgiving. When I played the same mix in my car, it was much too boomy.  Wondering if these profiles are worth spending time on.

My music:

    I rarely if ever use them. Correct the room and then go play it in the car.

    I think it's more about checking your mixes against pro mixes of the same style and lots of trial and error and wasted CD-Rs.

    Notation, the original DAW. Everything else is just rote. We are who we are and no more than another. Humans, you people are crazy.

    Each of them are modeled after a specific speaker, car, etc. Yours probably sounds a bit different from the ones we modeled.
