BOSE they cannot get any good reputation,nor + press or even acceptance among audiophiles by actually producing good great products fr their own creations, workers, engineers so can use the vast $$$$ estate Mr Bose left to buy quasi legitimacy by purchasing legit audio legends !
they are well-heeled corporate raiders!
Bose alegedly has bought audio legend Mcintosh ! and Sonus Faber !
see YT videos for perspective !
sadly i have a exotic car w/ a BOSE system I am 4th owner i did not choose it ) and their typical level of nonexistent consumer assistance was illustrated by them just telling me to "contact my dealer " ( whom promptly advised I contact Bose as they were profoundly sorry they ever let BOSE do a system for them ( and NEVER will again! )!!!!!

·Has anyone improved, modded their F430 spider / coupe sound system ?
i consulted w/a audio specialist shop he said maybe different head unit as the becker is weird ( keep it for future owners ) but otherwise just put in some better speakers !
( mine has the silly big $ option BOSE "upgrade audio " extra speakers , amp , sub etc
Bose® high power sound system (Modis Code: SNDB)
Available for both the F430 and F430 Spider, Bose® and Ferrari have developed a brand-new, high-power sound system. This system incorporates a new technology called FortaTM. It also includes the AudioPilotTM system, which is found on the 612 Scaglietti and the 599GTB Fiorano.
Bose® technicians developed special equalization tuning for both the F430 and the F430 Spider.
This system is composed of 11 strategically placed loudspeakers and includes:
 
A bass enclosure with a special amplifier, including 1 active woofer & 2 small passive elements. It is located under the climate control panel, linked to the center tunnel
2 tweeters, embedded in the mirror triangles
2 woofers at the bottom of the door panels
4 twiddlersTM at the top of the rear wall
One 8-way amplifier with digital signal processing, located on the rear bench"
Can’t believe that Ferrari could install such a poor set of equipment especially with the cost of the upgrade to the Bose set up.
BOSE stands for "Buy Other Sound Equipment " LOL
so better speakers and and ......................DONE.

PS this guy Jay’s Audio Lab is regarded as&^&*% By many !he is an insufferable boor!
catch his video about high-end cables his panel could not tell difference in a blind test and he dismissed them saying " they needed to let the cables bed in w/ some hours of listening " ! LOL
OK so he never repeated the test after doing that !
