I spoke about the improved sound system with better bass response last year.

You can see the sub grill in the back of the cargo area......

Is it a enclosed dual sub setup?

keeks2915

Not sure. Just told it was huge improvement from C6 factory system.

The factory literature says its a box with dual subs.

The launch press release from GM phrases it this way:

"An available premium 10-speaker audio system includes a bass box and two subwoofers – and speakers with rare-earth magnets that deliver greater sound quality with reduced weight and size."

So that back of the bus area looks like one small subwoofer and a bass box (passive radiator). I wonder where the other one is hidden?

Never once been impressed with Bose. Here's to hoping they change that for me..use much better amps then the c6 and decent range. IMO 10 speakers is overkill. Wish car companies would focus on sound quality in the front speakers/tweeters instead of just adding more speakers. Music studios record in stereo 99% of the time. IMO 10 speakers over complicates things and adds unnecessary weight

10 speakers does not equal 10 discrete channels. Here is an example of a single discrete channel, possibly a 3 way, using dozens of drivers:


AKA two of those line arrays would still only be stereo, and yes it will blow a standard 2-way 2 driver speaker out of the water.

Lol yes that speaker would destroy a standard 2 way. What I was trying to emphasize is better quality speakers upfront instead of 5 less quality speakers per channel adding weight from the drivers and sound deadening. The vette is very small compared to a big living room or home theater room that would use that speaker you showed to its advantage. Plus all those drivers in that speaker are facing the same direction. In the c7 the drivers will be all over the place.

Haha, good luck with that. GM...well with one exception, all car manufacturers build the sound system as an afterthought. I think speakers land where there are gaps in the body, and never in creative parts of the car. There is only one car that is engineered with good sound in mind.

Any thing could beat the C6 sound. It was retro back to the 60's when they had one
speaker. Heck good bet that one speaker sounded better than a C6

Someone who actually gets it
Very true, but then line up a couple of speakers putting out both left and right channels lined up down the room, like they did with the C6 and you lose the effect.
