13 Speaker "Kicker" Audio System in Canada?

[DarrenT]

Hi,

I am considering a 300C SRT8. I noticed that on the US website, there is an option for a 13 speaker "Kicker" audio system. No such option is available on the Canadian website and the dealers that I have visited have not been able to find the system as an option.

I have seen 2 cars in Canada with the 13 speaker system so do you guys know how to go about ordering it when buying the car?

Thanks,
Darren

FYI, its not really 13 speakers, their rear 6 X 9 are two ways which they count as four seperate speakers, in reality a aftermarket 6 X 9 most of the time is 3-way and counts as one, not sure about what they have in the front doors as i have not taken them apart...i am sure about the three in the front dash, the one sub...which makes 4 defintately...the other claimed nine could in reality be five or six...

darren the ones you seen with kicker were either DCX exec vehciles or they let a few come to canada. Its not an option and there is no way to order it.

They actually count the three front two way speakers as six. The rear 6x9's as two each, that makes ten total. Plus the two front door speakers and the sub equals 13.

I have had a 300C loaner car with the Boston Acoustics system a couple of times recently. It sounds great. The BA system actually has much better bass response up front. The mirrors vibrate more from the bass than the Kicker. With the kicker system the sub in the trunk is somewhat muffled unless you fold down one of the back seat halves.

If I had the BA system, I would be just as happy.

Thanks for the quick responses. I wonder why they don't offer the system in Canada but they do in the US?
