sound system comment

BASE audio sucks *** especially when I came from the TL ELS surround sound

It may not be world class,but bang for your buck the 370z in its class is in the top three. and my only complaint about the total car which i do love was nissan choose to cut corners on the sound system.the base system sounds like it just came out of a " versa".

Mostly any stock sound system blow big time. the sad truth is the bose system is worse that the base system. They always look to cut costs. If you are that worried about audio upgrade just like people have done for years.

Wow do I ever disagree with that! The truth is that the Bose system is damned good audio. I never bring it past 20 on the dial, which is more than enough. Had Van Halen on it the other day, sounded great, little or no distortion, excellent fidelity. Bose engineering is in many high-end cars, there is a reason for that. Granted, it's not a 1000w thumper, but in a car, especially a sports car, that is waaay overkill.

I'm one of those "old guys" who prefers quality to volume for volume's sake, I'm a rock/blues musician, and I know a good sound system when I hear one.

honestly. is bose really that bad? the only people i hear adamantly complaining about it are audiophiles and enthusiasts. I feel like it gets a bad rap from audiophiles etc because they, in order to combat the widespread somewhat ignorant love of bose by the layman, have to criticize bose more harshly than they would otherwise. I think the problem is you've got a lot of people out there pushing bose as THE BEST SPEAKERS AROUND, which they aren't, but in order to combat that opinion, one says 'no **** that, they are the worst!' I think the base system in my altima is fine.

I believe Nissan spent so much money, time, and effort into the performance development of the new 370Z, the stereo was never a priority. Let’s face it, when you first saw this new machine, did you even care about the sound system? I never did.

People have different opinons mine is when a system purposely takes different parts of your music out so they will not distort there crappy speakers, I think thats pathetic. Music should be played without being modified by a company that knows there speakers can not handle much.

Me I actually am the same style of music, I listen to the old stuff more than the newer stuff such at Pink Floyd, Santana, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Garry Moore, Journey, Eagles and so on. My cd collection includes over 300 cds and growing all paid for so I could have the highest quality audio with no compression. I know about good music and how it should sound bose does not do that.

My personal system is SQ based and not a "thumper"

The main reason why audiophiles hate BOSE is for the following reasons.

Quality of components is extreamly poor equaling that of low-end audio but its sold for the price of high-end audio because they heavily use equilization and elaborate enclosure design to emphasize bass frequencies that the components would not normally be able to produce. This is why they sound fake and compressed.

They do not provide specifications other than maximum wattage. This is because they dont want consumers to know how little rms power their amplifiers produce and how much distortion thier amplifiers have.

Thier amps are always tiny and underpowered because they use cheap Integrated circuits instead of descrete mosfet transistors. Thier speakers are made of paper and have tiny undersized magnets and thier frames are cheap flimsy sheet metal. By far the worst quality I have ever seen by any manufacture.

Thier reputation is built by a very good marketing team that targets the by and large un-informed audience. They make thier systems in small, neat, convienient, easy to use packages that promise HUGE sound and people fall for it every time.

This is why I and many others HATE BOSE!!!!

Sound Quality systems are setup to be as close to the original recording as possible. Where as other system are more like rattle or bass boxes on wheels.

I am sorry but anyone who thinks the BOSE sound system in the Z AND thinks its great is either tone deaf or they have never heard a decent aftermarket system. I could buy a $80 boom box from walmart and put it on my dash and it would sound better than the stock audio system. BOSE makes the worst OEM car audio systems. Everyone I have heard has MUDDY MUDDY Bass and no highs and nasally sounding midrange. The louder you turn it up and the more compressed it sounds. My ears are cringing just thinking about it.

I purposly bought the Base model pls Sprt pkg so I wasnt paying for the very costly BOSE system which I would have ended up in a cardboard box in storage forever. I wanted the leather seats but I sure as hell wasnt going to pay $2500 for them.

My brother had a Bose stereo in his 08 escalade and It sounded pretty good. The bose system use speakers in enclosure designed for the specific vehicles parameters. While they may not compare to the output and fidelity of a several thousand dollar aftermarket setup, they can still sound pretty nice.
