From Mazda's website: Touring Package (Sport Package items plus 300-watt Bose® 9-speaker audio system with AUDIO PILOT automatic noise compensation technology; power sliding-glass moonroof; auto-dimming mirror with Homelink® system) 300 watt is not bad at all for a stock system, and is much better than most cars out there. The Harmon Kardon systems in the BMW's sound terrible compared to this BOSE system. |
For the most part the volume is capable of being over-kill witht he BOSE system. However, I have discovered a circumstance under which this is not true. At 80mph with the windows down and top open, it could use a little more oomph. That being said, the 8 experiences considerably stability and drag issues with the windows open at this speed. My 2nd gen 7 hates having the windows closed, but it is a 15 year old car.

Well I would HOPE the BMW 745i would have a killer sound system considering the car costs more than twice the RX8. I have only listened to the Harman Kardon system in the 330Ci and it was pretty bad.
Sorry for being mean Doug, I just noticed you have been posting that in every Bose forum. Do you work for Craig Electronics? ;) TEASING!! |

I personally would prefer a much changed layout, but Mazda is the one who specified it, and I think it was more of a marketing and sales decision, than a technically sound decision. I can deal with the system. It sounds good, but not great. I've heard better, even from bose, and yes, they do a good job at what they're asked to do. They sometimes don't have the leverage to set up the system ideally, and like to experiment. Much like everyone else, including the manufacturers. So, don't blame Bose for the RX-8, son't blame Harman for the BMW 330. Blame Mazda and BMW for specifing a system that was sub-par. Still, have fun with the systems. Audio is one of the more easily changed components. regards, OverLOAD |
