Sound Suspension
Bose turns research toward improving vehicle ride and handling

Doctor Amar Bose is a quiet man. Yet, when you listen to the tone of his voice as he explains the newest direction his ultra-premium sound company is turning, you see intensity in his eyes. This same intensity is what makes "The Mountain," the hill on which the company headquarters sits, continually buzz with excitement. The excitement that exudes from Dr. Bose is the passion that has molded the company into what it is today.
Top-Notch
The Bose name is synonymous with ultra-high quality audio equipment because Dr. Bose has always held this company to the highest standards. This is why over many decades the company has developed some of the world's most sophisticated and highly regarded audio systems.
It is no surprise that Dr. Bose and a small but very talented team of engineers have taken more than 24 years perfecting the company's newest and perhaps most impressive innovation. What may surprise you, as it did us, is that this major development has absolutely nothing to do with audio equipment. Astoundingly, it is a development that could and probably will revolutionize the automotive world.
It is difficult enough these days to keep an industrial secret under wraps for a few weeks, but for 24 years is unheard of. Knowing that the research would need to be kept under strict confidence, Dr. Bose and his small band of engineers worked underground through prototype after prototype.
Garage Band
To keep this endeavor secret they literally moved into one of the engineer's small home garage. Not wanting to be around the large Bose facility located in Cambridge, Mass., they decided that a home garage would be the last place one would look for a major development to emerge. For the first few months of the project these highly skilled engineers became carpenters, plasterers and painters getting the garage set for their project. Dr. Bose and his small group of engineers worked for over two decades on an automotive suspension control system that will have you shaking your head in disbelief. It certainly had us shaking ours in astonishment.

How big was the overhaul? Could be poorly installed rings. Did the guy hone the bore?
