I am using Bias Deck 3.5 and Peak 3.1 and my mixes sound great on a home stereo, bass and drums kick it. But when played on a normal car cd player the drums and bass sound like crap...any suggestions?

You have to have an accurate set of monitors to mix on and then you have to learn your system. If you have a decent set already, play tons of commercial released CDs in the style of music (or all styles for that matter) through your set up and learn how they sound. The way the kick and snare are setting in the mix, the bass level, etc. Then reference your mixs time to time to these. When you get to know your monitors this way, it's a lot easier to get your mixes to translate to a wide range of playback systems.

Aye, Irishman, to be sure St. Patrick's Day is mite away.
But, my question is, how do you treat your stereo track before you burn your CD?
I'm assuming that you first have to cut a stereo track with your gear as I do. After I do that, I have an option of adding an EQ program and limiting/compressing.
Just a suggestion as I'm not familiar with your gear. The Yam 2816 that I use follows the pattern I've listed above.
If I don't like the stereo track when I play it back, I erase it and do it over, and over, and over. May you stumble in a gaggle of Leprechans and get all their gold.

You might have some problems with the real low end. If you for example go below 50 Hz in your mixes and you have a nice home stereo, you might be able to listen to that, but not on the 'Joe Average stereo'. So there's two possibilities:
1) You REALLY have some issues in your low end -> remix
2) You might try a tool like BassMaxx or a hardware psychoacoustic processor --- something that takes out the REAL low end and substitutes it with higher harmonics. It may give the feeling of much more definied low end on cheaper systems, but you can get everything to sound like shit...
