I stand second to none in liking clean, powerful stereo sound.  
Emphasis on "Clean".  Are you guys sure we're talking installations 
in Audis here, not in 1986 Monte Carlos with black window tint and 
neon lights in the wheel wells?  The ones that cruise by about 1:00 
in the morning shaking the windows???? 

(I do see that SteadiRic specified "0-100 watt class", which implies 
an emphasis on good design and clean sound.....)

PS:  Do you feel the urge to drive while wearing a baseball hat 
backwards??

I think I will soon be experimenting with the Bose setup in our 200, 
but I'll probably leave the stock speakers in place and see what 
putting some decent EQ in the line after the head unit can do....
