Bose! You'll be pleased!
Ditto, for reasons of resale, sound quality and I'd hate the thought of my interior being pulled apart for a system install

Order the upgrade Bose. It is brilliant, trust ne you will not regret it. A very good option to have in the event of a re-sale.

Just curious, for all the folks recommending the Bose system, have you heard the standard system? While there is probably no doubt the Bose is better, do you know how much better? I just wonder how many are recommending one system over another system without having heard both systems????

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

Listen to the two side-by-side and see for yourself which sounds better. I did that at the dealership and the Bose sounded somewhat better to my ears, and much, much better to my girlfriend's ears (she's a musician).

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.

My point is this. The Bose IS better than the stock because all the experts say it is.

I think you would find most "experts" in the high end audio business think Bose is far from the best. In the world of high end audio Bose doesn't exist. So, just saying it is Bose doesn't make it good. Check out any high end car or home audio store and you will find that they do not even offer Bose.
Having said that, I am sure the Bose system in the Porsche is great. I have heard so from many owners.
You keep missing my point, until you have actually listened to both systems you are should not comment on which is best. To do so is to assume. I assume the Bose is better than the stock system, but I do not know this for a fact (because I have not listened to the Bose system). I am also assuming you have never listened to the stock system.

I don't care for the stock radio or the Bose, as they are no where near as good as what I am used to in the aftermarket world.
I just did a custom audio job in my car that is being "considered" for the pages of a couple magazines.
I'll be posting pics in a few days.
