A friend has an audi that has factory stock Bose speakers that sound great at mid volume levels, but farts out when the volume is cranked. At low and mid volume level its sounds great, but metal isnt meant to be listened to at acceptable levels.

Any help would be great
I think Dave may just happen to have something preprepared with regards to what speakers you should buy. With regards to metal music i reckon you will be looking for a very dynamic set of speakers to faithfully reproduce the range and also what i suspect you also want...in your face stadium sound. Big frequency response range and heaps of grunt. Not sure it helps but the image below might help clarify the musical range of most music.
