You're talking from the realm of theoretical bla bla bla, I'm describing
real life. What happens in reality is what I said. If you don't believe me, why don't you just get some hands on and try it yourself with a real BOSE Audi system? Then, and only then, are you in a position to discuss this. "Mike Smith" > escribió en el mensaje ... > JP Roberts wrote: >> Obviously talking about input impedance.

So theoretical, in fact, that I learned it somewhere around 8th grade in shop class. > I'm describing > real life. Yeah, because the theory behind electronics and electric circuits has *nothing* to do with reality, right? It's all just fairy dust and magic, right? > What happens in reality is what I said. If you don't believe me, > why don't you just get some hands on and try it yourself with a real BOSE > Audi system? Did you check the rated sensitivity of the replacement speakers? 'Cause if you didn't, you have no way of knowing what caused the reduction in volume. Could have been any of a number of things. But, unless the amps in the Audi/Bose system are *incredibly* weak, the one thing that *didn't* have anything to do with it was the rated impedance, *especially* if you used *higher* impedance speakers. (Lower impedance is a different story, as in that case, the amp might not be able to supply enough current to drive the load.) > Then, and only then, are you in a position to discuss this. Gee, because you've installed a couple of speakers? I've been *building* speakers for about 15 years now; I may be no Jim Thiel or David Wilson, but I know at least a *little* about it - at least enough to know that you, apparently, don't. -- Mike Smith |

In comparison to its price, I'd say it was ALL crap. You can get better-sounding stuff (to these ears, at least) for half the price. JPR is absolutely right about the car stuff - I have never heard a Bose car system that was any good. "Acceptable" would be the word I would use. And for what they charge, it should be "outstanding." But audio gear is the stuff of myth and demagoguery. In car, in home... E.P. |

Second that. The problem is that the components of Audi Bose are not really
Bose in their entirety. For example bass loudspeakers and the CD changer in my car were Panasonic. That is the real problem, as I imagine if the system had been labelled Panasonic, the Panasonic guys would have taken greater care when making the product themselves.

I'm perfectly immune to any criticism coming from individuals like you, Mr
GadaemScweinGemischtChemist. Such indecorous words coming from an otherwise highly educated would-be Netiquette professor speak volumes about you and your background. > escribió en el mensaje oups.com... > > > JP Roberts wrote: >> > >> > Are you an idiot in real life, or do you just play one on usenet? >> >> Mind your language... > >>From your response, I'd guess that you're an idiot in real life. > > Good luck with that. > > E.P. > |
