How good are McIntosh at car audio? Chances are we'll be picking up a subaru liberty 3.0 Spec B ("Liberty" is what we call your "Legacy", except the cars seem to be pretty different. different engines, diffrent interiors, diffrent audio systems), and it comes with a Mcintosh audio system.
Unfortunately i haven't been able to find out much information on the specifics, but it has a mcintosh head unit with a 6 cd changer and 13 mcintosh speakers of various descriptions (a sub, some tweeters and some normal speekers). I assume it has a mcintosh amp in there somewhere too.
How good would you expect this audio system to be? I only had the chance to give it a quick listen today while test driving, and only with the radio. Audio's obviously something i care about (or i wouldn't be here!) so i'd like to get the best system possible.
my current car has a blaupunkt stero system with 9 or so speakers of various descriptions. it's okay. how do they compare?

found that on some website. it sounds like it has..
front: 4 tweeters, 2 normal speakers, 2 woofers
back: 2 tweeters, 2 normal speakers, 1 super woofer
i dont really know much about speaker audio because i pay more attention to headphones. is a "super woofer" a real term? i'vce of course heard of "sub woofer" but never super woofer. also i've always assumed "woofers" and "sub woofers" were the same, but looking at the names it would seem that sub woofers do deeper bass than woofers?
also, is "squawkers" the proper term for "normal" (mid range) speakers?
I've read a few reviews on the car and they seem to like the audio system.. but i trust a car reviewer just as much as a plumber when it comes to audio. i'm sure they just google the name, see that the brand has a good reputation and then declare that it sounds wonderful
after all, doesn't bose make the best headphones?

The sound system is integrated in the centre console. The advanced McIntosh was incorporated in the car’s design from the start, with thought given to door length, angles and shape to ensure optimum compatibility between car and audio entertainment. It has 13 speakers including new midrange speakers, which deliver clarity and quality of sound equal to most home audio systems. Door mirror gusset tweeters, remote tweeters and door woofers are provided for both the driver and passenger seats. Midrange squawkers are arranged between the tweeters and woofers. Coaxial two-way speakers (full range and tweeters) are provided in both rear doors. A super woofer is located on the rear shelf. |
