For real retro Scout shoukd come with an 8 track player or at least a cassette player. Way before your time if you refer to albums as those shiny little silver coasters. Why I had some of the first computers with the optional coffee cup holder. Even had the extra large 5.25 inch sizeI see this was posted so won’t start a new thread but also curious what type of system the SUV will have and who is Scout working with-can that be shared at this time?
Had plenty of Acuras with great sound systems and our new Honda Pilot has the premium Bose system and it is very good. Hope the system has plenty of speakers 12 minimum and maybe premium system with 18 or 19 so a killer sub-woofer speaker can be in the rear. Please don’t short change the audio system like Ford did with the Bronco.
I also laughed that we recently purchased a Lexus IS -new and it has a single disc player in the stereo face which blew my mind. Kinda wish the Scout would include one as a bit of a retro touch but also so I can play the 30+ albums I still have sitting in a soft case.
I’m quite familiar with your listFor real retro Scout shoukd come with an 8 track player or at least a cassette player.

We need either a Harman Sound system 7.1 which is so killer even though my countryman has a 7.2 harman sound system that has such a great range.I’m quite familiar with your list-I just don’t own any of those anymore. Early on Acuras could play audio dvds recorded in 3-D surround sound. I had Eagles greatest hits and Metallica. You’d sit in the car, crank it to like 30 and I swear with eyes closed you were sitting in the middle of the stage. Every speaker played different instruments or vocals. That was phenomenal audio for a vehicle-never heard anything as good as that in anything with 4 wheels
Good thoughts. Though I do also have to admit the H/K system in the BMW i4 I rented was fantastic - easily the best car system I've ever heard. On another level. I'm sure there are great domestic options too, and branding is important. Quality audio really makes a difference in your driving experience.I work in the audio industry but not car audio. If Scout partner with an audio brand it might be a good idea to choose a brand that reinforces the ‘designed in America’ image.
A car is the perfect environment for an audio system that supports “spatial” Dolby Atmos. Apple have been pushing this technology and artists have embraced it. Apple’s Beats brand would be a good partner because in order for the new Scout to have a bright future it does need to target a younger generation.
H/K is a great system!Good thoughts. Though I do also have to admit the H/K system in the BMW i4 I rented was fantastic - easily the best car system I've ever heard. On another level.

I've never heard of Grado. Before but ill look into them.I vote for Marshall as well. That would be cool.
If they're looking to a lesser-known quality brand though I think a partnership with Grado would be amazing!
I have a pair of their open-back headphones and they're incredible. Really affordable too! They brought out parts of songs I've been listening to for decades that I didn't even know existed.I've never heard of Grado. Before but ill look into them.
I'd say maybe a Canadian company should be considered too but I don't know of any Canadian audio companies. Grado is from the Bronx, New York if I'm not mistaken. Hand built headphones. About as American as you get I think.Nice!
Definitely i think scout needs to keep the American roots strong and go with one of the American Sound System Companies. Not one from China or Korea or anywhere else.
Well yeah but wouldn’t it be cool to have a company like Marshall or Grado logo in your Scout. A company that has never work with an auto manufacturer company.Said it in the past, but still like the idea of teaming up with marine grade JL Audio speakers. They sound amazing when sitting on the water, and seem to be a good fit when 4 wheeling with the top down.
I agree with it, i have them in my HCB center console.Said it in the past, but I would personally like to see JL Audio speakers. They are the go to in the boating world and sound amazing when sitting in party cove!
