Hi Fi Sound vs Bose - Quality?
I have not heard both - the dealer was telling me they are comparable - what are Rennlist opinions? Can you please try to describe the differences?
Also, how is the HPAS - High Performance Audio System?
Thanks

The BOSE is good, certainly better than the stock. BUT, if you REALLY want a good sound system, people say you can get better aftermarket systems. Me, I'm happy enough with the upgraded Porsche system, the BOSE. Anything more is overkill for a listening area that has a lot of extraneous sounds. If you want excellent sounds, build a home system.

Nothing but good things to say...
about BOSE, the sound quality is 10x better than the standard system I had in the last C4 I sold. I too was skeptical about the extra cost of the "high-end" BOSE upgrade until I took delivery. The bass response is tight and accurate, though not booming or overly thumpy. I've heard or read somewhere here on the list that Germans prefer plentiful BASS, and they've achieved that and resonable Hi-frequency response without overdoing it...money well spent IMHO

I went out of my way to ensure that I got the Bose system in my new 03 cab. The stereo is very important to me and the Bose is a major dissapointment.
The sound system in my BMW and my wife's Volvo XC90 blow it away.
I would get the standard stereo then get an aftermarket upgrade.

I just got a new C4S with Bose sound. I haven't heard the standard Porsche sound system, but the Bose system borders on awful. Decent bass, but very poor midrange and top end. A somewhat "digital" characteristic prevails, one that is "dry" and "hard-sounding". I don't think I'm being too picky here, but it is almost unlistenable. If I were to do it again, I would strongly consider getting the lowest cost system and doing something aftermarket.

I suppose it is background and preference...much like everything.
I had the regular hifi in a Targa. Prior to the Targa I had an M5 with the full DSP. The Targa system was definitely weaker all around.
However, I too just purchased a new C4s with the Bose system. I think it is awesome and worth every penny. Personal preference!

Bose is a nice system, but it's a bit boomy (not in a good bassy way, but in a bad annoying way) and it's not as good as the Bose in the Audi or the Vette. I would save the money on the bose, and talk to Rick @ Reus Systems- www.reusaudio.com - their stuff is to die for, and you'll only spend a little more than you would on the Bose, unless you get crazy and want an ultra hi-fi system.
