It delivers decent sound, but it lacks in base quite a-bit. Also, maxing it out isn't hard for me, I see the volume reaching 30(34 is max) when the windows and sunroof are all down. Something I do on a daily basis since I miss having a convertible. It's mostly highways here, so 80mph and over is my usual speeds.

Maybe I should have got a Shelby...

Anyway, what I'm trying to say is, the "Prestigious" Bose system, isn't very fancy, it's mid-range.
My other car is a 08 Shelby gt500 red package convertible with the shaker 1000 system and it is much louder than the Bose and close to as crisp. The Bose really is a disappointment. I've had two acuras with Bose and one with the els DVD audio system. The els was by far the nicest and the Bose in the Acura was nicer than the audis system. One was a '99 and one was a '01.

Bose is becoming overrated. They used to be the best, but now I think my beats hd headphones sound better than the Bose quiet comfort over ear headphones I had. My Harmon kardon sound sticks sound better than newer bose computer speakers too.

I had a Vista Blue Convertible, shaker 500, ended up replacing the mids with Hertz, came out pretty well. I over modded that car. Something I'm trying to learn not to do to this car. (Look at my wish list, some are done)

Placed my order on June 26th and just got my delivery ETA of December 17th yesterday. My wait will be agonizing.

Yeah I'm leaving it pretty much stock since the previous car I had a lot of work and a lot of issues

My order was a change in the system for what the dealer had already ordered - looking at the end of Sept/beg of Oct. I hope it is earlier! It will help cheer me up after breaking my leg and needing surgery!

Just saw that the S6 order guide was updated to include a "media package" as a port installed option. Anyone know what that is?
