I think you may come around after some seat time.

Congrats on your ride. Go out and key it so you can get over the sickness of scratches, dings and chip then you can really enjoy it!

I use to do car audio install with some pretty fancy custom installs and high end equipment. My equipment in my 280ZX at my cost was over $4k. The BOSE isn't that great but its pretty decent for a stock system. The integration and features are great.

I laugh at all the "audiophiles" with the crazy equipment in a CAR, sound proofing, etc - possibly the worst sound stage possible on this planet.

I did upgrade my stereo though. Stillen G3 CAI, HFC and CBE and both window's rolled down - never get sick of that song

don't get me wrong everyone...

i'm not one of those guys who wants the bass so loud and powerful so as to shake the street.

i just want to be able to listen to my zeppelin & beatles albums at max volume (which i don't think is loud enough to begin with) while maintaining near-perfect clarity... i was a bass player in a hard rock band for years, so i like it loud.

upon further consideration, i think "horrible" and "sucks" were too strong. the system is simply sub-par for my personal listening preferences

I don't thimk that any system (sans a lot of $$$) could be "cranked" and expect to have perfect clarity. As the previous poster said, the Bose system is good and I agree.

i have experienced near-perfect clarity at max volume on factory systems many times. having said that, i agree with you 100% that perfect clarity would cost much more than it's worth

You need amps to have clarity at volume and likely better speakers depending on what dB level your "loud" is.
