Explain to me how having an excessively loud sound system in your car is an "essential liberty".

The essential liberty is not having your private property seized by the government for minor offenses. That is one of the most essential liberties of all. It has a lot to do with why this nation was founded.

You think this is not a problem because the minor offense is not one that you would engage in so you have no fear. But once the precedent is established then the next minor offense might be "seize house because gunlock not in place". Or "seize car because anti-abortion protestor stepped one foot too close to the abortion clinic". Then you would yell but it would be too late because the precedent is set.

By giving the government the nod on this, you are giving it the power to seize property for minor offenses. Thats fine as long as you control the government. But when Hillary takes over you might realize it was not such a good precdent to set.

I don't agree with your characterization of this as "minor". Loud stereo speakers are an unignorable assault on the liberty of others to be unmolested in their homes. Doesn't the person trying to get to sleep have rights too?

This is overkill. I have no problem with seizure after the judicial process, however. People have no right to encroach on another's property with their music.
