Can McIntosh Sound Good In A Jeep Grand Wagoneer? MX1375 Review

[@kennethgross8079]

In answer to your “rhetorical” question who still buys CDs, I do and I am disappointed that most vehicles today lack CD players.

Michael Jackson had an actual Macintosh car audio system in his 500 SEL Mercedes.

Ali had a turntable.

[@dehoyosrudolph8885]

Subaru had McIntosh stereo systems, back in the day.

[@MrMegatron85]

I love the ELS system in my Acura, but I'm low key jealous the wagoneer gets a macintosh system. You should definitely do more of these reviews

[@runany1]

Agreed my Acura is shockingly good.

[@MrMegatron85]

@@runany1 right! It was basically why I went with the rdx in the first place. Sounds much better than the $3000 system I made in my last car

Loved this review and hope you do more vehicles using your knowledge!!!

[@therealshanelee]

Thanks!

[@Edward135i]

When you said you where doing car reviews I was like "oh great" but this is what I'm talking about nobody is going to review a car stereo this extensively.

[@invisibles362]

The only thing I would want in that vehicle, is the McIntosh sound system, Chrysler and Doge are not reliable vehicle, with all dose toy , you will pass more time in the garage, but you will have a good sound system for wend your waiting for a two truck Lol. Good video Shane.

[@therealshanelee]

I don't know about their new vehicles but my 2016 Wrangler has been bulletproof. It doesn't have all the electronic stuff the newer ones have so that could be why.

[@RemixerUltimate]

@@therealshanelee Wranglers are always relatively reliable. It’s the other vehicles that usually pose issues.

[@OZAHS1959]

My 2015 Dodge Challenger has been the most dependable car I've ever owned. Nary a blip with the mechanical or electronic systems. Also have a loaded 2022 Gladiator that has worked flawlessly, but I'm selling that and have a Wagoneer on order. The top end version of the Wagoneer (Vs. Grand Wagoneer) has the option for the second tier McIntosh system, and I'm really looking forward to hearing it. FCA or Stellantis vehicles are no less reliable than anything out there these days.

[@johnlewis6226]

You were the first person I've heard of that adjusts the sound slightly to the right side like I do to balance out the sound stage.

[@WaterDR-tw8re]

Just bought a JGC. Comes standard on the Summit. Wow! The sound system is NUTS. BTW, I recommend using a service like Tidal and playing Masters. It's life changing

[@therealshanelee]

Congrats. It's a great vehicle.

[@CandBLawnCare]

I sold Macintosh car audio back in the day. We demoed the top of the line clarion and it sounded good. Then the Macintosh head unit sounded 100% better. Then the Macintosh cd changer blew them both away. It had a burr brown dac in it and it sounded unbelievable

[@b0ngd0nkey]

I had a Subaru with a factory McIntosh system, loved McIntosh ever since

B&O in my wife’s 7 series has studio selection and it is crazy! I’m curious hear what this McIntosh sounds like

[@josephquinto5812]

I’ve been testing this segment quite extensively for my next vehicle, and I’ve found the McIntosh to be my fav system to far. The sound staging is phenomenal, and I’ve found it to be slightly better than the 2023 X7 B&W.

[@performingspecs7841]

@@josephquinto5812 You should listen to the B&W audio system in the 2023 7 series car. It is a completely different audio system than the SUV has. I haven’t heard the Macintosh system before but I think you will be impressed with the Diamond audio system by Bowers and Wilkins.

[@anthonyrochon3907]

Phenomenal. I don't know about this system but, I can't imagine Macintosh compromising.

[@marcoesquandolez4737]

Sweet interface - I’m impressed

[@bumstudios8817]

Interesting they put 6x9 in the doors… maybe that is standard now? I usually think of 6x9’s as rear speakers

I saw a car show all million plus cars, a wile ago, the commentator of the video freaks out at one of the cars, he said o. My God it has a Macintosh sound system in it! Mac. Sound good everywhere, and the one in my front room sounds fabulous, no matter where Mac is it’s one of the very BEST there is.🍷🍸🍻🎵♾️

[@therealshanelee]

They used to make aftermarket car audio amps. Still cost a small fortune used on eBay.

[@wayneque2101]

Tons of haters in this comment section?! Move to another channel if you don't like it...people are so weird nowadays

[@user-du1gd4gq4n]

Your review was excellent non biased and thorough, your delivery smooth, thank you. So this is a separate thought , more for Macintosh folk, Macintosh in Jeep? Given Jeeps (I could pretty it up and say not “Jeep, but Grand, Whatever”, I’m trying to stretch to find a more gental comparison than Macintosh in Jeep is like a Rolls Royce jet engine placed in a Vega or Edsel? Why? I mean, am I alone in this thinking? It’s Jeeps maintenance record, is the pathology. Again, a most excellent review, be nice if Mac would make auto stereos for many autos (Not all, lol) to buy separately. Ok enough out of me.

[@fieldcar]

I love these new videos, but what the heck is that annoying 10KHz chiming noise at the 7:30 mark? It's probably just the background music. Who else heard it?

[@blackbird1448]

So the featured meters don't have a power output scale in Watts just a -dB scale, what good is that? The dB scale is fine but it should include reference watts with full power output @ 0dB.

[@Surfercurtis]

I’m pretty disappointed in the McIntosh stereo in my new grand Cherokee. It’s sounds like it has cheap speakers and fairly underpowered. I was expecting a lot more for the expense of the option.

[@kevkeisha]

If you put two screens in a car, there should be less physical buttons.

[@runany1]

Shane when you can check out the new Acura Type S MDX Advance it has a 25 speaker 22 channel amp system. Lot of car reviewers say best system they have ever heard in a car.

[@josephquinto5812]

New Model X and Volvo XC90 sound better

[@Shift4g]

Jeep x McIntosh is a weird collab to me. Jeep seems like more of a Klipsch partner lol. What's funny is I have a Dirac system in my 13 yr old 5 series.

[@therealshanelee]

They're both known as "Made in America" brands. Made sense to me based on the price bracket. I could see the Jeep Renegade having a Klipsch system though 😉

[@Michael-ll3rk]

As an owner of the 2023 GWIII, the entire system is completely underwhelming... The speakers are low key chevy stock speakers. 3 equalizer adjustments?? thats all??? no control over the sound. Very disappointed for a $112k truck.

[@craigosterberg5045]

Beautiful car.

[@harrisedgar]

there is no metion regarding amp topology, speaker materials, etc..

Too bad this brand didn't team up with Lexus. Instead they team up with one of the worst mass produced vehicles on the road. I get why they did it. Way more chryslers on the road than Lexus. But they could have also put them in the nicer Toyotas as well. Shame. Good audio. Horrible vehicles.
