2004 Volvo S60 SE with the HU-803 and standard amp - 8/10
Sounds very good for the factory unit; certainly much better than my colleague's 2015 Audi A4 Bose system, which seems to equate fart-cannon bass with quality.
I added a GROM AUX-3 to the CD changer port, so I've now got an aux-in. Sounds excellent, not looking forward to replicating (or bettering) this system if I ever get a BMW, judging from the comments in this thread!
..I got a 2009 XF a few years ago. The Portfolio trim, with the 440w Bowers & Wilkins speaker system. Believe the stock amplifier is made by Alpine.Sounds very good for the factory unit; certainly much better than my colleague's 2015 Audi A4 Bose system, which seems to equate fart-cannon bass with quality.

A bit disappointing; some songs really show off how well balanced it can be, others just sound hugely harsh in the midrange. It's not very easily tuned via the EQ settings, so... 6/10, sadly?
