I am probably in the minority but I couldn't care less about the sound system as I never use it in any of our cars. As much as I like music when I am driving I like to hear what the car is doing. When driving the Jag the best music is the V6 symphony! 👍¤

Don.t ask me how but the rear speakers are now working. I have been having a play around with the sound settings. Must admit l think it is very good.

Had a test drive today in a BDE with 380W system. It actually sounded OK. I expected it to be far worse than it was, so pleasantly surprised. There was a central speaker above the dash, so the brochure diagram is wrong.

However, I soon turned the audio off and just enjoyed the exhaust soundtrack. LOL

What did you think of the BDE? Was it Ultra Blue?

Ultra blue - yes. Absolutely loved it. As stated in another BDE thread, dealer has foumd me an unregistered one with very high spec. Ongoing discussions about discounts / finance options / etc. Watch this space...

I've just been trying to setup my 380W system and have settled on the below for now but would love to see what others have configured as its not my strong area. I typically like acoustic versions of modern music.

I've gone for everything flat, and the focus centred. But I prefer the rear quad speakers. ;)

I thought the whole system was shocking so only had it on to enable the phone connectivity .... ICE is not a JLR strong point as proven again with the 2019 upgrade that still wont provide apple play or android equivalents ...

Really? I'm happy with my Meridian system, which is just as good (to my ears) as the B&W system in my previous XKR. As for connectivity - I get in my car to get away from all that!
