You've bought a car, that's a lot more than a 'very good quality' sound system. If you want really good audio, you don't really want to put it in an auditorium with all of the background noise, vibration and strangely shaped objects within it to baffle parts of the sound. Other surfaces reflect too much sound. If you want a really good car for $28,000, you can do a lot worse than a Saab, if you want a really wonderful sound system, don't damage the audio qualities of it by putting it in a car. I have a 9-5 with AS-3, the Harmon Kardon (?) stereo, and it's very good, but there is no way it is going to sound as good as the little Denon stereo I have in my front room. What it does do though is sound about as well as I can expect a stereo to sound within a car. The other aspects of the car please me a lot, and those things, sometimes combined with the stereo, make me look forward to almost every trip in that car. I hope that you can enjoy your car, and enjoy your choice of music alongside. Pete.
