Theres the new Audis with the B&W speakers, which i think sound nicer than HK or Boston, but compared to an SQ built car, theyre muddy as hell. To most of my friends the HK or the Boston will sounds great, because its definitely a step above the normal stuff thats in like a basic Camry or something. Ok but my argument is that unless you listen to your music in at LEAST .wav, preferably FLAC, you can’t tell the difference between a stock camry system and a Bose system with the same number of speakers! An MP3 is going to sound the same coming from a Bose as it does coming out of a stock POS system in a Camry. Now if you are listening to FLAC in both systems the Bose will sound a TINGE better. But to say that Bose and HK are the best money can buy is a joke. A huge joke. Are you are buying there is the name, nothing else. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/new-guy-from-ballston-spa-with-all-mercedes-and-some-other-stuff/251211)._
