True! Bose w/ touring claims to have "two subwoofers". These are actually 4" cones in the spare tire well.

If you play music with deep bass, you'll notice the whole bottom is missing. I don't think these speakers go below 1 kHz. (A good home theatre can go down to 10, 12 Hz ... an average home system down to 50 - 100 Hz. Even Radio Shack cheap shiite s/b good down to 200-500 Hz or so. So, to have the bottom at 1000 Hz is to say you're buying the quality of an AM table radio, basically. Yay Bose!)

OTOH, you can easily remedy the problems of a lousy car audio with your own iPod, Zune, or other device with earbuds.
