HI guys,

I tried to do a google search but could not find much. JUst wondering if Honda uses a Bose sound system in any of its 8th Gen Euro models?

Is it the same sound system in the Euro luxury?

Thanks

Alpine speakers IIRC. The stock ones are pretty crap tbh.

Sorry mate... do you mean they come with alpine speakers?

Yep, none of them use Bose...

I was wondering how Mazda has a Bose system set up..while Honda wouldn't have a high end ting like that!

i thought it is quite good with a little subtle subwoofer in the rear parcel shelf.

Alpine and Bose are comparable in car audio market.

You sir need to hear a real system.

But for what you pay for and get for factory system. Pretty descent.

Mine got tinny after a few years :<

I think "Bose" speakers in the Kia/Mazda, "Beats" in the Chrystler etc. are just marketing.

It's not until you reach the premium brands : Bang & Olufsen in BMW, Mark Levinson in Lexus, Harmon Kardon in Mercedes etc. before you can hear good factory speakers (and these brands cost extra $$$ on top of the stock speakers too).

LoL. A real system is one that's at home in a lounge where you can sit and enjoy. Im not one of those who would put LCD's in the trunk and have 20 speakers in my car. :S haha.

The music in my car is the sound of my engine.
