Anyone already got their car that comes with the stock stereo system? Can you tell us how's the quality of the sound?
Thanks..

I will know tomorrow. My car will be in. I'm getting the stock stereo.

Took a test drive in a Sport package this evening. Watch for my report in the RX-8 Discussion forum in half an hour or so.

Actually, we're looking for a more detailed review of the stereo, more than the limited reviews of the stereo that is amongst the overall reviews of the car.

Would someone measure something for me? In the trunk, under the rear parcel shelf, the amp (silver lookin' thing I believe) is located between the two rear speakers. What I am interested in is the distance between the two "beams" that the amp and speakers are tucked in between.

I have the stock stereo (not Bose).....no amp between the speakers
