It looks interesting. However, IMHO, Bose makes some of the worst stereo equipment you can buy. Their LifeStyle speaker packages are absolute crap. If you can ever find a real review about them, they do very poorly against any decent speaker. The reason why many think Bose is good is because they spend huge amounts on advertising and marketing, and I've heard that they sue anybody who gives them a negative review. I find it very strange that almost all car manufacturers have Bose as their 'high end' stereo now.
So, while the Bose suspension looks interesting, take what you read on their web site with a grain of salt. If there is ever an independent review of the suspension, then maybe I'll be convinced. |

I agree that Bose home audio components (mainly speakers) are generally nothing to write home about. However, what they have "mastered" in the car audio world is engineering and tuning the speakers and amps to match the acoustics as well as the aesthetics of each particular car. For OE systems they definitely are better than the average no-name crap in many new cars, but still pale in comparison to a $4K+ high-end aftermarket system. FWIW my Audi has the optional Bose system and although it is not "ideal" it is plenty fine for my needs. If you really want, you can even use the OBD-II port to tweak the equalization curve.
