Too much good to say, everything is great about it. The one thing I am underwhelmed by is the Bose system. I really really cannot believe how meidocre it sounds. Honestly my 10 year old Buick Le Sabre sounds almost as good. The Bose sounds like you're listening to music through bathroom pipes. This is a lease but I am heavily tempted to modify the speakers. But I probably won't. I wish it sounded better though.

Is it possible the speakers just need a breaking in period?

Congratulations on your new S4!

Unfortunately my experience is that the Bose system does not improve over time...It is more that I have gotten used to it.


Post some pictures!!!

I'll post some pics as soon as i can.. I doubt they will look any more interesting than the other gray S4 that was posted on the audizine forums lately, but whatever

I am sorry to hear about Bose. man, I am used to listening to my Sure E3C ear canal phones at work, its night and day.

No way, post as many pics as you can. Love B7's!

The bose system is far better than the bose system i had in my B5, so I really can't complain.

I've never found a stock stereo regardless of brand or price that sounds nearly as good as even a mediocre aftermarket system.
