Bottom line GM did a great job with the sound system!
On xm and your iphone you are listening to mp3's with serious data compression and poor audio quality. Studio quality CD's have better sound by far with a 44.1k sampling rate and 16bit depth with no data compression. As for the Boston Acoustics system...it's decent for a stock system. I won't say it's terrible like some of these other guys but you can spend some serious money on audio equipment if you have a discerning ear... or a half deaf drummer
