Thinking about buying this car...supposedly a legendary sound system in this
thing. Has anyone actually had a listen to it? I'm not asking how it sounds, as that is far to relative, but is it all that its hyped up to be? Thanks! Rick |

Are you asking about the stock sound system? If so then it sucks.

Perhaps, but I am told it is 9 or 11 speaker system done by Infinity, with a
Bose head unit. Come now, Paul, I never thought you could be so close-minded...LOL! Rick "Paul Vina" wrote in message . net... Are you asking about the stock sound system? If so then it sucks.

Technically you asked for opinions ... that is his :-) I haven't heard the lxi myself (does it have a sub tucked away somewhere?), but I have heard the 8? speaker Infinity systems in the Caravan and Grand Cherokee and they both suck (compared to what I could do with a set of components up front, a sub, and 3 channels of amplification) At least those Infinity systems are better then the stock 4 speaker AC Delco in my Cavalier and Sunbird ;-) so I suppose it is all relative. -- Regards, Dan Snooks |

I'm not closed minded. I've heard it, and it sucks. It's too boomy, the
midrange is too forward and there is no real high end. Whether it's 9 or 11 speakers (they count tweeters separately from the mids for some odd reason) probably does nothing for the system but give it all kinds of phase problems.

OK, sorry for jumping the gun. The way that I read your original response
was "if its a factory stereo, any factory stereo, it sucks". I was clearly wrong. Thanks for your input, Paul. Rick "Paul Vina" wrote in message news:a7ykb.180449$%h1.170329@sccrnsc02...

I have to admit I don't really expect a lot from a stock system, but I've
heard the Mark Levinson rigs in the new Lexuses are fantastic. The old Nakamichi systems in the Lexuses were pretty good too. Paul Vina "rick donnelly" wrote in message ...

The biggest weakness in my opinion is the lack of deep bass. All things are
relative to compare a Levinson system to Infinity is about as far as comparing a Astin Martin to the Lexus as far as cars go.

Very true. I was just trying to show that some (okay, very few) factory
systems are really nice. If it's deep bass you're after just add an amp and a sub or two. Paul Vina "Marc" wrote in message k.net... The biggest weakness in my opinion is the lack of deep bass.
