Having had an XF as a rental in Germany that was equipped with the B&W system all I can say is, yes - it was good but not a patch IMO on the Volvo XC60 Dynaudio I had at the time.
However, reading other posts, I didn't realize that the Volvo system is "only" 130W which sounds a bit puny.... my current....hrm, 5 series, has 600W and it's impossible to sit inside of the car when turned up. Qualit is also very very good and I would say that its the best sound system of any car I've ever heard. Although it is a 1000 upgrade here in Germany so not cheap and I think it's well worth it.

I have a V60 with the High performance multimedia system fitted. Speaking as a man who once owned an S60R with the famed dynaudio system I too was a little disappointed in the sound. Mainly the bottom end bass.
My 'Fix' was to invest 145GBP in a pioneer TS-WX110A space saving, powered, subwoofer. I had initially decided to fit this in the boot, but after a bit of cajoling I managed to squeeze her under the passenger seat. I thought this would be better acoustically than hidden/muffled in the boot. Now I am not a bass junkie and must confess to being very conservative with the settings, but I think I have managed to make this system a winner. I am able to tweak the graphic equaliser in this system perfectly to my tastes. I can also control the sub through the wired remote which I have managed to hide in the waterfall storage space behind the dash. The sound won't make your ears bleed but it now certainly 'feels' loud enough. I have tried to take pictures of the system nestled under the seat but I can't get a decent enough shot to demonstrate what I mean. Best 145 pounds I have ever spent! |

Ok...so like a Aston Martin ? !!
Another question, Alpine speakers as well? I have a boxed pair of "morels" that would probably fit . Also if the amp is a standard 4 chn etc i have a few options under the bed, including a stunning old skool "soundstream" |

The amp is located under the passenger seat, check if it's a 4 channels or not. Regards |
