hey planning on getting the RX8, and read that it comes with a 8-9? Bose speaker system, how is it? cuz i'm the type of guy who likes the music LOUD when i need 2 drive hard......and planning on putting a sub in the back....good idea?? would n e of u guys change the speakers or the system? ohhh....can u change the deck on the 8??

 

The factory stereo is great. I love it when the door handles change from the outside Don't think the elderly appreciate it though.

 

really you think the sound is great?

to be honest, i have been disappointed with the sound....when i thought i was getting a bose system i thought i was going to get a more deep sound...i think the system is a little 'tinny' and seems lacking in power and depth....

 

thats why hitmann got a L7 ten inch kicker iin a custom fibreglass box with a 600.1 kicker amp!

 

well i'm planning on putting a sub in it n e wayz....but the speakers......so CrackerJax u think the factory bose system is great and can play REALLY LOUD.....and the dor handle changes from the outside?? what do u mean?
fietguy, u say that bose system is weak? like doesn't go loud? or when it gets to loud the sound starts cracking??
planning on how much 2 save 2 get the best system in the 8! hehe:D

 

i put mine on 25 and thats the highest i can go.. it is tinny but that means your bass rating is to high.. get a sub if you want bass

 

The stock system is my only complaint with my 8. I agree that the bose speakers are weak and tinny and am looking at a replacing them and adding a sub. But don't let the subpar sound system affect your desicion on getting an 8. It's a great car.

 

Well i think its so so, I can put it to Max no problem , and distortion is quite low, its a clear sound at max , but could use a bit more power..... hu hu hu More Power .. sorry tool time talknig... But its a decent sound system, for starters... it does have 9 inch inverted cones in the doors, wich is not bad, ....but more power.....

 

okay to answer some of your questions,

I am by no means a car audio guy but ill try to explain...

I knew i was buying a bose system, i expected it to be fantastic, i have found that it is okay...

the sound is crisp, but somehow (in layman terms) the sound sort of disappears, i give the system a 7.7 all things considered...

it sounds a little tinny...it could use some more power, plain and simple...

 

so what all u guys r saying is that the system juss needs more power? so if i put a amp it would that help? i'm gonna get the sub for sure cuz i love bass! lol :D
and the system wouldn't effect the decision of me getting the 8.....the system is one of the least of my concerns.....but still one...hehe RX8 4ever!

 

i very happy with my bose system .i'm not 17 anymore so i dont crank up the sound like i use to .but i still think it is a quality system for my taste of music.

 

I'm fairly happy with the Bose system. Plays very loud clearly. It is a little lacking in the bass department though (not terrible but certainly not great).

 

so if i get a sub, which will fix the bass prob, it would b a pretty good system rite?? i'm juss 20, so i want a LOUD system....lol

 

ok so what you guys are saying is that the system is relatively good...the only problem is it doesn't pound the low end?

That being the case that'll suit me just fine. I just want a clean and crip system that sounds good to the ear.

Back in the Early 90's my pops had a '90 Audi 100 which had a Bose stereo system in it. I found it to be an ideal system that is way better than whats in the vast mojority of other cars. If you are not an audiophile the system will keep you more than happy. If the RX8's sys is anything like that one from 14 years ago (which I'm sure it is if not probably way better) than I'm a happy camper.

 

i dont think the sound is very deep or crisp at low volume....i dont usually like to listen to the CD that loud, i prefer the humm of the engine...

but its an okay system...again, just not a fantatic one...
