Plenty of speakers, lots of power
* New feature reviews car hi-fi * Jaguar XF audio tested * Bowers & Wilkins from 1140...
Bowers and Wilkins poured a huge amount of effort into the XF's hi-fi system.
The company says the finished product took three years to develop and fine-tune.
At its heart, it uses a powerful 440w amplifier coupled to Dolby Pro-Logic II processing.
An impressive 14 speakers are strategically positioned around the cabin, including four aluminium-dome tweeters, nine Kevlar-cone midrange drivers, and a subwoofer the size of a small fuel tank mounted in the spare wheel underneath the boot floor.
One drive unit is mounted in the top of the dashboard to ensure a proper 'fill' between left and right channels, coupled to better imaging: it's supported by the Pro-Logic II processor, which operates in full 7.1 mode for optimum results.
