EBMCS03,
Beside engine HP war, there'll be car audio HP war?

Thats right. I have a PDF file of the article... I cant find the link to it right now. I'll post it when I get home.

RR has like 500 Watts or somthing and I think 14 speakers... The new Lexus IS I thought has 14 speakers now and the new LS 460 will have 19 speakers and somthing like 700Watts I forget but I'll post the article.

Let's speculate for some OEM sound system that hit 1000W. Oh, I remember some car has $30K car audio option. I forgot what the name of the car is.

I use the "v" settings -"purchased" from Iceman and it pumps out the $*t of snoop in the car
This means that you reduce the mid-frequency, right? I always find that V is my most favorite EQ setting in any sound system. It just my taste.

Exactly. However the poster above referred only to mid-frequency and low-frequency. Add 4 tweeters in each door to that and voila: 13 speakers
You're not correct. Two tweeters are connected in parallel with two 4" mid-range speakers in the front doors. The other two are also connect in // with other two mid-range on the rear panel.

RMS output is more important

They can design a 1000 watts peak audio system
but with only 100 watts RMS ...

Anyway, the new MB S-550 has Logic 7 as standard,
from what I have read, they have a similar setup as
ours.

well 507bhp is usefull! example:


say your starving and the only kebab shop is 67 miles away and closes in 21minutes...
then you obviously NEED the m5 with its 205mph potential to reach it on time and get
some chips as well

I think the following would be appropriate:

Do you like how it sounds? Then sit back, drive and enjoy it. Kinda like the "did I pay the *right* amount?" question -- who cares? Enjoy the car! ...and the sound (which I think is pretty darn good for an oem stereo!).

Our systems are good, but they can't touch the Mark Levinson that Lexus has. Smooth and complete.
I wish BMW would team up with Linn or B&W. That would be something.

I honestly think BMW is behind in the audio wars.
