I agree Bluetooth is good but listening to Sirius XM not so. Brilliant write up thanks.

XM's quality dropped a lot after the merger because of bandwith... I think the system could have been improved with a simple EQ instead of the Treble Mid and Bass options. an 8 band would be nice, anything over would be outstanding

For the stock bose setup, I push the fade 2-3 positions back to the rear. Otherwise, I dont hear the rear speakers at all. I'm listening to it at 75% volume normally.

I dont have a problem with any of the speakers sound quality. Could it be better? with audiophiles, there is always a better setup.

I do have a problem with rattles. I got door ones. I got rear area ones. The speakers have rattled themselves or something nearby loose near just about every speaker in the car.

My opinion, but if you think the 6th gen Bose system is bad, the I'd hate to see what you think about the Boston Acoustics system in the 5th gen.

All I want is more bass in my 1SS and I'd be perfectly happy....which is what I'm guessing the 2SS does with those rear speakers....more bass.

Lots of great info in the thread, but does anyone's system specifically do this? Thanks in advance.

The rear channels on my Ford Fusions have limited frequency response. I've been reading on the forum that this can be corrected by using a ForSan program with a laptop connected through the OBD port. Supposed to get full-range signal. I have not done this yet, but I bought a new laptop!

There are rear speakers? Hey, A REAR SEAT! who knew?

There are rear speakers in my 22 1SS? Hey ------- there's a rear seat back there!!!!! Who knew?

I thought those pads back there were headrests for after I figure out how to get the two A C T U A L seats to recline back further. (btw is it by design that drivers seat not recline as much as passenger seat, or is it a software bug? Both?)

I thought that rear/fade control in the EQ/tone section was just a software bug in the MyLink Gui, applying to some other GM vehicle which actually has a rear for passengers. On the bright side, I've been wanting start Dog-Uber and can fit 1.7 to 2.4 of those Paris Hilton pocket-dogs in the fake back seat using the mandatory childseat ALMS braces to hold the crates in place. The dog in the actual real passenger seat can just belt-in like usual.

There were actual sittable rear seats in 2nd gens. Once I fit SEVEN total adult males in a 3rd gen Z28 (the dude under the huge glass hatchback really took one for the team, it was link he was shrinkwrapped back there.) Other dudes' car was impounded by the maine state police on the way to a dead show. Its not a good look, do not attempt, do not follow.

The camaro back seat is as almost as fake as the ones that have to be installed, discarded, shipped back to europe, reinstalled on next batch.... (on every ford transit-connect imported to USA, all those little delivery/work vans.)

TTFN !
