Anyone's into car audio here? I don't know anything about it and my experience reaches only as far as replacing stock radio and stock speakers (nothing unnecessary, those things had rotten suspension and one was just buzzing instead of making sounds), so my question might sound dumb, but:
How effective are all of those soundproofing mats or other things people stuff behind their doors to make outside car sounds less noisy? Is it really possible to make car significantly quieter, at least on low rpm? Or is the only way to have "good audio" in car is to replace trunk with huge ass subwoofer, and then slap small speakers literally everywhere in the car?
I would rather avoid this brute-force "add more speakers" solution, but i'm really annoyed by the fact that if i want the song to sound even remotely like it sounded in my home system, i have to crank up the volume unreasonably high (and then it's deafening and tiring after a while).

Audio is more than speakers, is about quality amplification. If you can't get an amplifier that is able to crank up the volume without raping the sound, you're just installing a jackhammer in the trunk. Audio isn't just installing a big subwoofer as some people like to think.
You should learn more on how things actually work electrically but I'll give you some advice:
a good setup is: stereo > amplifier > passive low and high pass filtering. You'll need twitters, woofers both medium and medium-low frequency and a subwoofer. All of these cost money, so you should clear up your mind first.
I also wanted to do thing in big because muh audio but then realized it wasn't worth the burden, I just listen to the radio.

Also I'd like to add that audio draws a lot of power, probably you'll need an extra 12v battery to run everything without constantly having the engine running.

A standard 90 amp alternator can handle 600 watts of power no problem. Being that most shitboxes have no more than 4 speakers, powering all 4 at 50-75 watts accompanying a 300 watt sub, power should not be a problem.

Yes, I was talking about the reverse problem, power without the engine running. Although yeah, OP wouldn't probably use his car as dj stand for a whole night, having a flat battery shouldn't be a concern.

Is it fine to use audiophille stereo amplifier and audiophille speaker for car audio?

Probably yes but depends on the fragility on the item itself at the end.
