96 960: audiophile bragging about the 960 sound system

Post by CIK7 »

Is your sound system lacking? Many systems are stuck on mostly mids with some highs. But the sound system of my 96 960 is like that of a high end aftermarket system. I'm 25yo and I've experienced audio in roughly 2 dozen vehicles and my 96 960 is the oldest but has the best sound of any vehicle I've been in. Several I've listened to are: 98 xc, 99 acura tl bose (when bose was good), 01 v70 base, 02 impala, 04 civic, 04 acura tl bose, 04 Tahoe, 05 mazda6 bose, 05 equinox, 08 impala ltz bose, 09 ram, 09 impala lt, 10 mazda3 bose, 12 avenger, 12 equinox, 19 ram 2500, 19 civic, 19 nissan sv3500, 20 Avalon. I like to listen to about 85% Christian music, about 10% oldies, and remaining are such ones as Hello, Thinking out loud, the Gitup, the 7th Element. But then this 960 sound system moved me to appreciate the morin khuur as well as Mozart and Beethoven type music. It has TONS of bass and intense highs. I have to turn the bass almost all the way down, it's that intense.
Had to brag! Peace!
