I bought a Bose system. Luckily, my car was included with the speakers.
The system can be replaced, we have the technology...

Actually, I don't find it too bad. It's not like I'm doing any serious listening in the car. Shoot, my previous car was a 1969 VW Bug that had no radio. I spent alot of time singing to myself. So, I,m pretty happy with anything that makes noise.

It's a pain to replace a Bose car system. You have to replace the speakers, amps, and head unit. The amps are actually located near the speakers. The head unit is just a pre-amp.

And I agree, compared to many factory audio systems I've heard, I really like the Bose system in my car.

My subwoofer is located in my spare tire in the trunk. Fits right into the rim. Don't know exactly how it works--a bolt goes right through the middle of it securing it in place.

Yeah Sean, we must have bought our Bose systems at about the same time, because they threw in a car with mine, too! What's really weird is the way it wound up, I actually like the car better than the Bose! Bose disappointed me by taking the cheap way out and not including a couple of essentials, i.e. Monster cables and wires and a separate "high-end" DAC for the player.

Actually, as Peter mentioned, it sounds quite good for a car audio system. My car is designed for performance, not a deadly quiet interior which makes for a great listening venue, and no way would I tear things out and spend maybe thousands for some subtle improvements that couldn't be heard most of the time anyway.

Enjoy the music, not the equipment.

John, now you have us all curious about what kind of car it is. Naturally, you did this on purpose, Mr. Mystery.

Just installed a bose system into my Bugatti Veyron, but for some reason I can't hear much hauling 250 down I80. Maybe an A1400 is in need.
