I get to drive a lot of cars but the Acura RDX sound system is one of the features that stands out…way out! Of course the latest safety features are important. Yes, getting good fuel economy is great. However, I didn’t understand how important a good sound system is in a car until I tried out the Acura RDX SUV.

I was able to test drive the Acura RDX SUV during the #Drive2Learn event produced by A Girls Guide to Cars. It was held at the beautiful Miramonte Indian Wells Resort & Spa in the breathtaking area of Palm Springs, California.  If you are going to test drive some cars, doing it through the lovely Palm Springs desert in late Fall is the perfect place to do it! And with not many people around, I was able to turn up the Acura RDX sound system to really test it out!

3 Reasons the Acura RDX Sound System is Exceptional

1. It was designed by a musician.

In the Advance model, the Acura RDX sound system was engineered by Grammy winning producer Elliot Schiener.  Since 2004, the ELS Surround Premium sound system has become the exclusive luxury sound system in all of Acura’s models. Want an unbelievably awesome music sound? Ask a musician to design it. So simple! Check out this video from my friend Scotty Reiss who was able to spend some time with Mr. Schiener while experiencing the 2019 Acura RDX.

2. Focused on mechanics of sound.

Schiener changed the game because he focused on the quality of mechanics and the path the sound takes through the Acura’s stereo. This is a sound only Acura’s with the ELS Surround Premium sound system can produce. Unlike other car companies, it’s not just about using the latest speakers that everyone else can use too.

3. Speakers are thoughtfully placed.

It makes sense that a car is a wonder environment for listening to music. It’s a contained, closed space with speakers all around you after all. However, it is the thoughtful placement of speakers that makes the Acura RDX sound system stand out. The placement of the hard and soft materials helps to make it seem like you are surrounded by sound. You can feel the base. The crescendo of music seems to travel from the backseat up to your ears. The music really does seem to be all around you, including over your head. There are even four high-range speakers in the ceiling that can send sound directly to you unobstructed.
