I test drove a Jeep with the upgraded system in the past 14-21 days. Not impressed at idle, even less impressive while driving. I blame the lack of deadening in the doors for the low end failure. Its possible if that issue is overcome it will greatly improve overall performance. Not a bad upgrade though.
You don't buy the Jeep Grand Wagoneer for the McIntosh stereo, you elect to pay for the McIntosh stereo option for your Jeep Grand Wagoneer. Supposing that there was one.
McIntosh marketed a line of aftermarket car audio 20 years ago. Mostly amps…mono, stereo, and multichannel with built In configurable crossovers. They were very clean but didn’t deliver the grunt of Rockford or Xtant at that time. So they have experience. They now have Sonus Faber for the speakers, so I bet the system is quite good. No idea whose front end they are using. And yeah, road noise is the enemy of music listening in cars, but most people do it anyway.
