Audio System Brand Poll 2.0

  • From all of us at Scout Motors, welcome to the Scout Community! We created this community to provide Scout vehicle owners, enthusiasts, and curiosity seekers with a place to engage in discussion, suggestions, stories, and connections. Supportive communities are sometimes hard to find, but we're determined to turn this into one.

    Additionally, Scout Motors wants to hear your feedback and speak directly to the rabid community of owners as unique as America. We'll use the Scout Community to deliver news and information on events and launch updates directly to the group. Although the start of production is anticipated in 2026, many new developments and milestones will occur in the interim. We plan to share them with you on this site and look for your feedback and suggestions.

    How will the Scout Community be run? Think of it this way: this place is your favorite local hangout. We want you to enjoy the atmosphere, talk to people who share similar interests, request and receive advice, and generally have an enjoyable time. The Scout Community should be a highlight of your day. We want you to tell stories, share photos, spread your knowledge, and tell us how Scout can deliver great products and experiences. Along the way, Scout Motors will share our journey to production with you.

    Scout is all about respect. We respect our heritage. We respect the land and outdoors. We respect each other. Every person should feel safe, included, and welcomed in the Scout Community. Being kind and courteous to the other forum members is non-negotiable. Friendly debates are welcomed and often produce great outcomes, but we don't want things to get too rowdy. Please take a moment to consider what you post, especially if you think it may insult others. We'll do our best to encourage friendly discourse and to keep the discussions flowing.

    So, welcome to the Scout Community! We encourage you to check back regularly as we plan to engage our members, share teasers, and participate in discussions. The world needs Scouts™. Let's get going.


    We are Scout Motors.

Even better make it be that the speaker mounts are the exact same for all the vehicles from start to production to the future of scout and make the newest model of speakers purchase able via Scout Supply. Then it’s a win win. Everyone gets OEM parts no value decreases of the vehicle. And you can upgrade the vehicles sound system easily.
Sounds like a good idea. Let's not forget that sub.

Continuing my crusade on "things I wish vehicles shipped without". Don't put in any.

Run the wiring, but don't ship speakers. They have gotta be #1/2 of most quickly changed items on a new vehicle.

I know likely not a reality but a man can dream.

Yeah, I don't care. I am not an audiophile. I mostly listen to podcasts while driving :geek:

I will make a general note that I would like HD FM radio and that AM radio does not exist in any EVs that I am aware of. Too much interference from the other electrical systems. IIRC Tesla had it in the Roadster (used an aftermarket Alpine unit) and the very first Model S but people complained about it so they removed it in subsequent models.
 
I did vote, and like some of the brands on there.

Would also love a "Chill Mode" with short guided breathing exercise for meditation or people prone to panic attacks. It could sync with the ambient lighting and have soundtracks like Ocean Waves, Rainstorm, White Noise, Black Noise, etc.

Some companies like Lucid offer something similar and I like the idea of your vehicle being a refuge in the storms of life.
