Do you guys understand that also having optional audio system (BOSE in this case with extra number of speakers) weighs more? It adds weight to the vehicle and will affect the following:

- Acceleration
- Handling
- Braking


I made a huge mistake going with BOSE audio system on my car. This isn't necessary... and wasted good $2000.


Thank you,

Thank you,
Because I am bored.
There is no proof that the BOSE system actually weights more than the base audio system. Most of the extra weight is from things like leather seats, heaters, etc.

Generally, *supposedly* higher end audio systems, specifically, the audio unit, weighs more due to heavier amps. In addition, larger number of speakers = more weight. This is common sense cute guys.


Leather seats doesn't weigh much more than cloth seats, also depending on how much of leather is applied inside of a vehicle. You want to leather the exterior too?

Also please work on reducing your body weight.

Thanks,

Actually that is where you are wrong.
BOSE is not higher quality, it is smaller size producing the same quality. Therefore I could argue it weights less, though there are a couple more speakers so thus the weight is the same. And really, leather weights less than cloth? Do you even know what leather is?

Oh I am plenty skinny enough, if I was any skinnier I would be ill.
Maybe you should work on your trolling technique, it smells noobish.

Let's also not forget that touring seats are slightly heavier due to being heated and having electronic adjustment components, whereas base seats lack those electronics and hardware

Thank you,
haven taken many 370z's apart "over 20" I can simply say that the bose system at MOST adds 6 pounds if that. The 6x9's in the doors weigh just as much as the stock base ones. So your not gaining or losing with bose.
