Get a copy of Azzido da Bass' "Doom's Night" -- any random mp3 is probably fine, as long as it's coded 160kit/s or better. (320k if you care.) Listen to it elsewhere. Then pop it in your Bose drawer, or put your CF card in if you use nav, etc.

See?

The tune is only moderately bass-heavy. But what the BOSE system is doing is flattopping all the lower notes. As hatchet jobs go ... this is a pretty gruesome spectacle.

Your audio controls allow you to "boost" the bass. but they don't give you back that whole bottom octave. Instead of do-re-mi, it's do-do-do-do...

Incidentally, on "specs", good luck finding Bose puttting out comparative data like Klipsch, Paradigm, etc...

When I said (in another thread) my PC speakers were better, I was referring to Logitech Z-680s. That's the forerunner to the current Z-5500s (about the same).

But after listening to my Bose system in Pearlie for a while, I'll go further and say the Harman/kardon built-ins in my Toshiba Qosmio LAPTOP are probably just as good as the car Bose thing... and it's incredibly easier to hook the laptop up to ext speakers, too.
