Comparing the available audio systems of the 2013 FIAT 500

There's nothing better than turning up the volume when your favorite song comes on while you're driving, so it was no surprise to find how excited our customers are about the enhanced audio experience now available in the 2013 FIAT 500. The enhanced audio experience I'm referring to is the Beats Audio Premium Sound System. There are already so many available options and customizations in the FIAT 500 and this is just one more item our customers have added to their list of features to test out and compare during their vehicle shopping process. The first question customers usually ask about the audio systems available is, "what's the difference?" which is why I figured this would be a good topic for my first post in our FIAT of Lehigh Valley Blog.

  
 If you're a music buff, there's a good chance you're already familiar with Beats Audio by Dr. Dre. If not, here's a quick run down from the FIAT USA Blog. You can read the full article here.
 "Beats Audio was developed in 2009 by legendary hip-hop producer Dr. Dre. He sought to deliver the full spectrum of sound experienced in a real recording studio by combining science and artistry in portable audio equipment such as headphones and notebook computers.
 Two years later, Dr. Dre brought Beats Audio to the automotive industry, working directly with engineers to design and tune an exclusive 10-speaker sound system first introduced at the New York Auto Show.
 The Beats Audio system made its FIAT debut a year later, in the new FIAT 500. What makes the Beats Audio experience unique to the FIAT 500? Well, Dr. Dre personally worked with FIAT engineers acrossall FIAT 500 models to create a sound experience customized to the shape and size of each individual 500 model. This guarantees our drivers a truly one-of-a-kind sound experience."
Now that you're familiar with Beats Audio by Dr. Dre, you're probably wondering what the differences between the base audio system, the Alpine® premium audio system, and the Beats Audio premium sound system are.
  • The base audio system is standard on the FIAT 500 Pop, FIAT 500c Pop Cabrio, and the FIAT 500 Turbo.
  • The Alpine® premium audio system is standard on the FIAT 500 Sport, the FIAT 500 Lounge, the FIAT 500c Lounge Cabrio, and the FIAT 500 Abarth.
  • The Beats Audio premium sound system is an available as an upgrade on all Models - FIAT 500 Pop, FIAT 500 Sport, FIAT 500 Lounge, FIAT 500 Turbo, FIAT 500c Pop Cabrio, FIAT 500c Lounge Cabrio, and FIAT 500 Abarth.
The document below lists the specifications of each audio system and shows where each aspect of the sound system is located within the FIAT 500 and also offers a visual comparison between the audio systems.

The Beats Audio premium sound system is definitely an exciting addition to the long list of options available in the 2013 FIAT 500. After comparing the audio systems, which would you prefer in your FIAT 500? What song(s) would you use to test the systems out?
