I think it would depend on the resonant frequency of the car's
interior. If you could find that frequency, then that would help you
maximize the amount of air movement you would get out of the stereo
system. The response peaks of the stereo system would also pay a key
role. The scientific approach would be to plot the resonant peaks of
the car's interior, overlay those with a graph of the response of the
stereo, find the frequencies where the two plots coincide, and then
look for music with similar frequency peaks.  In practice however, I
think it comes down to "play a bunch of tunes and see what sounds /
feels loudest." Oh, and the tune has to have lots of thumpin' bass.
