Anybody with the BA sound system have any reviews of it?

zzz28zzz · 05-23-2009, 02:57 PM

Got it

Sounds very good.

If you are into the stereo thing

you will probably be disappointed though.

The best I ever had was a pioneer system

put in at Circuit City. The BA is more than

enough for me

Good to know thanks

Ok, i have been in several cars with it.
I hated the system , thought it was crap.
Until i realized in Mikes car that it was nice.
Well then i saw one at the dealer, i set it and all i can say is WOW, does sound great.
The system is great once you dial it in.
Every car that i have been in, had the base set up to high, so it sounded like the speakers were going to blow by bottoming out. Well if you put the base to 8, 9 or 10, and set the treble to around 7, the car has a really nice sound that very balanced. Getting the right treble and good clear bass.
Believe me, i didnt care too much about the BA system until the other day when i set it up, and now im very happy that my 2LT is coming with it

I have a Monsoon radio with my 2001 Grand Am GT1. How do they compare? I love the sound I get from the Monsoon.

I'm dying to hear it! I know that the 6.1 Pioneer setup that came in the 08 HHR SS sounds really clean. I'm hoping the BA set up in the 2SS sounds just as good.

This is one thing i asked if i could do in the showroom car...He said...Turn them as loud as it will go...

It SOUNDED AWESOME

Great Lows
Good Highs

The only thing that i noticed is that the Bass levels out near max volume levels...what i mean is the Bass is as strong at volume 5 as it is at volume 10....kinda sucks...but oh well.

They are great and will not be upgradin the sound system anytime soon.

I think it sounds great, but then again I usually listen to talk radio. I am happy with it.

I am looking forward to extensively testing it myself, under a variety of circumstances and situations.

I was impressed with the sound system in the SS that I test drove a couple of weeks ago. There was enough power for me and the sound quality was pretty crisp.

KJS · 05-24-2009, 05:14 PM

Not an autophile, but my 20 yr old son is and it passed his critical ear test. And if its good enough for him, it would probably be good enough for most of you.
NOTE: AUX, CD, FM, XF Have different "tone settings" so make sure before you get bent out of shape that if the one you're listening to doesn't sound right, set your tone controls for it!

I have the factory Rockford Fosgate system in my Titan, and it rocks! I hope its as good as that!

Camaro2010ss · 05-24-2009, 05:52 PM

Does anyone think the BA is worth an extra $500?

Vash · 05-24-2009, 06:00 PM

Might want to check in the audio forum been a lot of discussion on it. Hence a whole forum

I think if your into audio then buy it cause otherwise your stuck with stock. Which is a nice unit from what people say. But it's all integrated so you can't chop it. No DIN holes.
