Bose system's weakest link?
While I agree with most people that the Bose system is "serviceable," I still think it sucks from a quality/clarity perspective. I'm not even talking about distortion at high volumes. Even at normal volumes there is a lack of separation and soundstage that I would have expected from a "premium" system.
So my question is, has anyone figured out the weakest link of the system? It would be great if there was one big flaw, like a crappy head-unit or sloppy amp, which could be replaced with good results. I am guessing that a powerful, precise amp would really clean things up, but not sure how easy it would be to do that kind of swap and what kind of improvements it would make. Any thoughts? |
The problem is the speakers and amp, since they work together with a odd impedence there is not much you can do with out swaping all but the head unit.

I think the biggest flaw is that it is made by Bose.

Depending on what you are in the market for, meaning CD player or Double Din Screen? you can get a full system anywhere from $900-1500 and up of course. add a sub for a few dollars more and you are done. |

YEP! |
I was actualy happy with the BOSE up until I started reading these treads and really listening.
When you do put the volume up, it does just sound like a lot of noise. I had some Boston Acoustic Components in my Lancer up front, stock Infinti speakers in the rear and it sounded much crisper than my Z...but ya, noticing it now :( Oh wells, Audio will be the last thing I worry about right now since it seems like it will be a big overhaul...I just won't crank it so I don't get dissapointed lol. |
I have to keep the treble at -4 otherwise the highest frequencies in the music sounds harsh especially rock. anybody notice this or it is just me?
