I went for the Ultimate spec because I fancied the sunroof and upgraded audio. Granted, at home I listen to all sorts on a combination of my ADAM T5Vs and KRK Rokit 5s, so I've got used to having a flat frequency response. For a combination of Metal and EDM, I've boosted my mid range up by 2 notches as well the bass up by 1. It's a shame it doesn't have say an 8 Band EQ for something that's supposedly a consumer grade supplier, but like you say, the woofer driver probably isn't up to delivering the sub 120Hz with gusto, but does mean that it gives the door drivers less of a tough time having to deal with the mids. Despite that, I'm quite content with its sound. In my 20's I would have had your standard VIBE or EDGE powered 12" sub in the boot and something like Alpine SPGs in the door and a wodge of dynamat installed. Nevertheless, the fact that the car only has to contend with tyre noise instead of a 4 or 6 pot diesel up front means that it's actually quite a pleasing soundscape.

Thanks for sharing! And yes, a sub upgrade would be great but you'd then have to look into an amp etc to drive it.

@@TotallyEV Yeah, I'm not going to tap into the 12V circuitry of an EV just to do that. I mean, for a salary sacrifice/company car that I use for the family, the audio and UI is faultless. Car audio has always been subjective and for the general consumer, it's great. No point going to the extremes of having a well set up system, only for 80% of the journeys to have a tantruming toddler in the car with you.

Hello, is rear seat can contains 3 adults comfortably?

Not for the rear middle seat, it'll be a little crammed.

My n-line Elantra with the Alpine system & sub is pretty good, lows and highs are super nice but mids aren't great. The Bose system in the Santa Cruz is pretty lame but comes alive with an EQ if your phone supports it, otherwise the standard tuning doesn't fix anything. Ioniq 6 is the same situation with the Bose, you need a separate EQ to fix the lack of lows and highs - but mids are good lol.
