Does the Subaru have McIntosh stereo optional? holy lachi***, this stuff is American made and you'd pay oh around xxxx for 100W p/channel in the home, tube style. How did Subaru have the 20-20 to see that it would sound good? Any chance Nissan will cancel the agreement with Bose and move onto some real stereo?

Nissan's 6th gen is due for some serious revamps.

can you say 5-20 frequency response

It's all fine and dandy, but you know what's happening? The margins on a Maxima don't exist, with dealers hoping to sell cars even though it's into their holdback.

McIntosh is made in America, and that means it's expensive. With all the costing problems at Nissan there's no way they could swing a deal at this time. 11 speakers huh?
