There seem to be this myth that non-Bose incar aftermarket equipment = excess bass = chav
Common guys stay objective and balanced you know it yourself that it is pure nonsense...Since when is the church organ player comparable with a chav? About as deep bass as you can get if you know your stuff! But anyway it is not about bass, it is about sound quality.....And in my experience that does not go together with Bose....Sounds great until you hear what it really can sound like....Just like with anything in live, it is all about a reference and experience...
Well I'm happy with the Bose+CCRT700 system in my Elite.
and as an audio engineer, I get to hear what stuff ACTUALLY sounds like, for a living... not what "It CAN sound like"
as a factory fit system, there are very few to really do significantly better, especially given the acoustic vagaries of the car as a listening space...
I have at a mastering engineer friend who went out and bought a Miggy-Elite after he'd heard the bose system in my old one... because
"I could actually bear to listen to it and not spend my time mentally critiquing it's faults, but actually enjoy the music. !"
it's capable of a large enough clean dynamic range to listen to the Foo-fighters latest album without missing anything... and without wincing on the louder transients.... likewise the Berlin Phil performing Mahler....
so that makes it fine in my book.
