after hearing it a couple of times out of cars, it sounds very nice. I probably won't be getting it in my camaro, but I would suggest it to anybody who is thinking about it.

That's a lot of speakers, I'm definitely getting the BA.

*TAG UR IT* · 10-23-2008, 02:12 AM

Get the BA. It'll be worth it.

Only comes w/ subs if you order them.

There should be preamp outputs in the back, but will not be sure for a while on that one.

SemperFi · 10-23-2008, 07:37 AM

doesnt 254 watts seem like pretty frikin low output for 8 speakers and a sub? My two speaker sony stereo puts out 300.

Sizzox · 10-23-2008, 07:41 AM

Yeah im running 6000 in my blazer haha 254 is low i hope its per speaker or something haha.

A few years ago GM probably would have called this a ~750W system, but they are using RMS numbers which while not perfect are a much better comparison system. 254W RMS is pretty good for a stock sytem and unless BA drops the ball most people should be quite happy with it.

EllwynX · 10-23-2008, 05:02 PM

I still haven't figured out where 9 speakers are located.

1 in each door (and I'm assuming each side in the rear as always) = 4
1 Center Channel in the front dash = 5
2 Tweeters in each A Pillar = 7
Plus a subwoofer = 8

So where is the 9th speaker???

The other one is surgically inserted into your ear...lol
