Concerning high end audio names in new cars

It made sense to me when high end audio manufactures started selling their brand names to the likes of BMW. I really had to look twice when I saw the Jeep Grand Wagoneer on a commercial with large blue MacIntosh meters on the dash! I went to the website just to make sure my eyes weren't deceiving me. It's just fluff of course. I've been in several vehicles with supposedly high end audio systems. I wasn't impressed  with any of them. I wonder what impact if any the Mac meters will have on the general public. I hope audiophiles steer clear of this model car as it could prove to be a distraction for sure.

Back in the day we were very happy with an 8 track head unit and a pair of 6x9s mounted on the rear deck. Fond memories.

@jbhiller One of my buddies brother is a sound engineer and works for a year on a design cycle for a vehicle sound system. So I get it.

@artemus_5 My C7 has a premium Bose 11 speaker system including sub-woofer I’ve only listened to it a few times as it’s not the reason I bought the car. But, to all you Bose haters out there, it sounds dam good sittin’ in the driveway.
