Gen 3 with Standard speakers?

[sajprice86]

How is the sound? I locked one down with 800A so its missing the B&O speakers. My current 19 also doesn't have it and the speakers are pretty terrible. I would imagine they are the same speakers in the Gen 3 vs Gen 2?

I am not holding my breath. the 18 was ok. but the new one should be better. wish it was like my wife's Porsche Macan. that stereo is freaking unbelievable all Bose. and cant turn it up past 3/4. I pulled into the drive and my wife said she heard me coming down the street and knew what I was listening to. mind you its cold here and the windows were up and she was inside.

It honestly depends on your taste but 9 times out of 10 a couple grand in aftermarket equipment will out perform any stock system.

It’s ok. Maybe a little better than my Gen 2.

Even the “branded” OEM systems suck.

I think it sounds fine. It's better than the "upgraded" Bose system in my Cayman S.

I work for Porsche so I know their Bose sound very well so its good to hear that, haha.

One of the main reasons I purchased an 800A is due to the base audio. I don't think the B&O system sounds great. I don't think the Harmon Kardon or Alpine systems sound great in a Ram either.

I will make or purchase a plug and play harness to run either a 4-6ch and mono amp or a 5 channel. I hope that I can fit a well designed box behind the seat along with the amp(s) with a JL shallow sub
