Boston Acoustics system impressions? - Page 2 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

yes because aftermarket upgrade is pretty much impossible on the head unit.

Tecca · 05-24-2009, 05:02 PM

I am super happy with it and is well worth the upgrade. Just make sure you set uor EQ to your liking.

Sounds pretty good, but really needs a sub to sound complete to me.

That's a hell of a good system...my friend has it in her frontier.

Not really impressed. I wouldn't have paid for it but it comes with the RS package. It will be one of the first things I upgrade along with a hard wired Valentine 1.

it does? maybe for the v6 but not for the v8. With the v8 you either get the 2ss or you add the 'Premium Sound System' package to the 1ss. RS has nothing to do with the Boston stereo.

The Boston Audio system is a standard part of the 2LT/2SS top level trims. The RS package has absoloutely nothing to do with the sound system on any Camaro and is a seperate option available with any LT or SS car.

Man you guys are picky. It's a friggin audio system in your car. Not Metallica at Continental Arena! I have the 7 speaker Pioneer system in my Cobalt SS/SC and it sounds phenomenal. The Boston Acoustic system is likely better. People are so lame buying Rockford Fosgate and Monsoon systems. Please. This is a car. Stick these systems in your blacked out Mercedes. Don't need my radio to be worth more than my car. Almost like that lamer in a POS Honda Civic that is dented to hell that has green headlights, $5000.00 chrome rims and a $4000.00 audio system. LOL!! Please. Get real folks.

Still wondering it the thing has a subwoofer pre amp output.

It's like pulling teeth to find that out. (It should have it since you can't upgrade the head so someone screwed up if it does not).

AngryAmish · 05-25-2009, 12:40 AM

You have a problem with people buying really good audio, but I noticed you purchased the gas door. How much was that again...lol?

This is just my personal opinion, but I see a better reason for a good stereo then for something that screws on and off the exact same way as the fuel door that comes with the car.

Music sucks.

Number 3 · 05-25-2009, 07:53 AM

I've posted many time about the BA system. It is noticeably better than the base system. Anyone that says it sucks is either a) an audiophile who has a good ear or b) somone who thinks they are an audiophile and a good ear.

Most of you that fall in to the A category won't be satisfied with any system from an OEM just like there are folks that won't be satisfied with 304/400/426. You will be able to do better. But to do better you will probably spend more than the $500.

For me, and I am NOT and audiohile, the BA system is richer and has much more bass than the base system. The bass is cleaner at higher volumes as well.

For me I'd pay the $500 because because I wouldn't want to spend more and for me it is more than sufficient.

As a reference, I sat in a demo car from BOSE with a $10,000 system. It was unbelievable. But I'd never spend that kind of money on an audio system for a car..........unless I win the lottery.
