Corvette Stingray has the best BOSE system option ever!

2020 Corvette Stingray

Corvette, I think it's really cool. A little over a year agoI was seriously thinking about purchasing and even went to test drive, My home.

Unfortunately, there was no connection at that time, but this time, the 2020 Corvette Stingray just announced in July 2019. This is also one of the cars that I'm really interested in because it's so cool.

That's why I'm curious, so I'll take a look at the information here and there.

It seems that this 2020 Corvette Stingray will be equipped with an amazing BOSE sound system.

According to the article, in the 2019 Corvette and the 2020 Corvette, there are various changes such as the engine moving behind the seat (midship), the manual car disappearing, the chrome wheel option disappearing, etc., but it does not change. There are also things.

That is "the sound is that of BOSE".

Corvette first adopted BOSE in 1984. And it seems that the latest Corvette Stingray, which is the 2020 model this time, will be "equipped with the most powerful and best performing sound system ever".

2020 Corvette Stingray BOSE Option

However, the standard equipment comes with 10 BOSE speakers.

If you add more BOSE options to this, it seems that the number of BOSE speakers will be "14". According to BOSE, this is the largest number of speakers ever installed in a coupe-type car.

Although it is an option, the price of the Corvette itself is less than $ 60,000 (about 6.4 million yen) in the United States, so American people who love BOSE may be required to add this option. May ^^

The explanation of the speakers that come with it is as follows:

• 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch neodymium speakers on the dashboard (Neodymium Twiddler Speakers)
• 4-inch neodymium wide-range speakers and 1-inch neodymium tweeter at the top of the door
• Two 5.25-inch neodymium wide-range speakers and three 3.25-inch neodymium tweeters at the rear
• 10-inch Nd woofers on both side doors

BOSE Centerpoint 2

BOSE calls this system (= surround system) where speakers are placed in various places and sound can be heard from all directions as "Centerpoint 2".

Furthermore, with the Corvette becoming a midship and changing the position of the engine, BOSE had to review all Corvette sound packages.

Audio Pilot Noise Compensation Technology

Certainly, the position where the engine sound is heard changes, so it was necessary to reassemble the surround system well so as not to lose to the engine sound.

BOSE has adopted Audio Pilot noise compensation technology, a technology that adjusts the sound in real time according to the noise of the car, so it seems that this adjustment was also necessary.

BOSE is popular in the United States

I wrote that Americans like BOSE, even though when I saw the popular options of Porsche 911 GT3 (late 991) and GT3 RS in North America, it was such a car that "the purpose is to run". , Because the option rate to install BOSE was extremely high in North America ^ ^

In both GT3 and GT3RS, the BOSE option installation rate lightly exceeded the 70% at most of the time. Everyone is particular about the sound ... or do you like BOSE ...?

In any case, I'm wondering if the Corvette Stingray option with 14 BOSE speakers will be a pretty popular option in the United States, after all.

Oh, but Stingray is cool! !! !!
