Saying it won't get loud enough to overcome the engine noise is just bogus.
Spearfish, I think yours is the only comment worth agreeing with. Bose reputation is quite high, and as I said, the one in my wife's Benz is awesome. I think another trip to the dealer is in order with a CD or two. What a great way to rustle a second test drive

"Quite high" based on what??

Bose's marketing department?


Don't be a lemming, read both of the below links. Even Lou Reed has an opinion ...

Bose BLOWS.

What about Bose? Part 1 : Home Theater Blog | Home Theater News & Reviews
What about Bose? Part 2 : Home Theater Blog | Home Theater News & Reviews

"July 2004 issue of MONEY has an evaluation of speakers by Lou Reed listening to his own (and other) music.

He loved the Klipsch, liked the MartinLogan (except they didn't work at high
volume), thought the B&W over-priced average speakers, dismissed the
Infinity's as "so so" but with little bass, and hated the Bose (no midrange
and he'd pay money NOT to hear them).

I wonder if Bose will sue him and Money."

PLEASE do me a favor and don't link a blog from "some guy who used to work in a high-end audio store" and pass it off as something worthwhile. And while I love Lou Reed, the link didn't work and he was robably commenting on the 201's or something.

Next time, link me something like this, written by people who actually know WTF they are talking about.

Stereophile: Bose 901 loudspeaker

The article has very good things to say about the 901 speaks as well as bad things.

Nonetheless, calling me a lemming while you are essentially acting like a "bose sucks it's all marketing" lemming was pretty funny.

I agree with the poster who said that a car, especially one like a Z, is the worst place to expect sound an audiophile would drool over. And Spearfish was dead-on when he said that it won't replace a huge woofer box in the back.

My post wasn't to compare it with a high-end system that's gonna set me back another $2000. Besides, every time I hear one of you Gen-F*ck dickheads driving around listening to horsesh*t like Kanye West at 120 decibels on a high-end system I crack up.
