There's no bass in stock unit. The more refined and rich you want the sound to be the more you should get Bose.



Have you spent much time with the standard system? Are you assuming there is no bass because there aren't any sub-woofers? Comparing the standard system in the 997 to the Bose system (w/sub-woofers) in my wife's S Class Mercedes, I think that the standard Porsche system is as good as that particular Bose system. I haven't spent anytime listening to the Bose system in the 997, so I cannot compare the two.
I would assume that the Bose is better (for $1390 it had better).

You can't compare two systems by looking at them on paper. You have to actually spend time with both to make a judgement on the quality of each. That is the only point I am trying to make. When someone can report that they have spent time with both and list the advantages of one over the other, then that is a valid argument. Just because someone has the Bose system and says it is great (compared to what??)doesn't answer the original question in this thread.
