I remain skeptical regarding the acoustic quality of the front facing dash mounted speakers. The plastic shell behind the cavity will likely resonate at low frequencies and sound buzzy and distorted at moderate volume. I would like to see sound dampening material lining the cubbies. If Slate doesn’t offer this, I will be modding this myself.

I think that is the correct approach

On the bright side,
- They're Systems Thinkers designing an experience.
- They know good audio quality is part of the experience.

I find whistling while I drive to be enjoyable enough and actually kind of uplifting. Puts me in a better mood than all those blaring commercials and cackling morning shows.
Sounds like an external speaker and amp would work for you to entertain other folks when stuck in traffic. :D
