or that's it's good enough for most people.

The funny thing about people who loves them or hates them, they are the same. They have preconceive thoughts that does not matter in totality. The argument that it's shitty equipment because of paper cones, size, designed, etc is the same as arguing VVEL is better than pushrod better than VTEC, etc. It doesn't matter, there are limitations and advantages. If it works, it works. Bose works well most of the time, in most environment and situation with most type of music. Where it excel and that applies to most if not all OEM system is packaging and integration and dependent on the level, better acoustic tailoring for different trim levels. Remember the hated "equalization, processing, filtering?", there are reasons for it like reduce distortion, tailoring to different fabrics, keeping that 3 years warranty active all while achieving decent sound for most people.

People bitch and complains about how it's over price and whatnot and fail to realize that to replace it requires installation and associated cost not always factored in the equation by equipment alone. The axxess module, adapters, speaker wires, remote, power, labour all adds up.

Funny how many "audiophiles" decry them yet multi-Billion auto industry continue to buy into their ********. It is what is is and Bose do serve a purpose. It might not serve yours but I wouldn't knock them so readily. Absolute statements are never true and just because you don't like them doesn't mean it doesn't fit another person's needs.....I know what's good for you so let me show you why your tastes are wrong.
