The soundscape was wide and expansive, and felt larger than the car itself, as if we were listening to music at a concert hall or - at least when we had some Def Leppard blaring - like we were at a big stadium show. Music in our car was finely-tuned for clarity and contrasts, and the thoughtful speaker placement meant that sound really resonated throughout the cabin. That’s all to say this is a car with sound as thrilling as its performance. But Meridian’s Jaguar car audio systems can go up to a whopping 26(!) speakers on select F-TYPE models, with a massive 1300 watts of power. We tested a car with 14 speakers, delivering a total of 380 watts of big, bright sound, with duals subwoofers in the back to really bring out the bass.

That’s thanks to Jaguar’s partnership with Meridian, which offers three different car audio setups for the brand new F-TYPE. But we were equally impressed with how well our driving soundtrack sounded as well. And indeed, the car’s superb handling and aerodynamic body handled the sweeping curves of Mulholland Drive and the plains of the Malibu canyons beautifully. Let’s face it: you’re really behind the wheel of the Jaguar F-TYPE to take it around tight corners and bends and really experience the thrill of the lean and mean sportscar. Even as your hair is whipping in the wind, your tunes still sound full, smooth and crystal clear. The placement of the speakers replicates 360 degrees of sound too, so sound seems to “float” all around you, rather than being directed straight on you from the front or back.Ī bonus: Bose designed the sound system to automatically adjust your tunes when you take the top off the car.

All the highs and mids are incredibly well-mixed, while the bass purrs rather than rumbles, adding to the soundscape without being domineering. The custom Bose audio system delivers true studio-quality sound, letting you hear a track the way the artists intended. You may think a sound system in a sports car like the Corvette would be ringing with bass (and not much else), but you’d be wrong.
