370z Standard Audio (No BOSE) Sounds Ridiculously Good
 

Seriously, the standard audio from Sport or no package sounds better than my BOSE 5.1 surround audio from my Mazdaspeed 3 in terms of crispness, clarity, and treble. Very unexpected that Nissan 370z standard audio sounds this good. The standard audio on Mazdaspeed 3 in comparison, is an absolute junk. The standard audio in 370z sounds about as good as Lexus IS350 standard audio. Of course the IS350 has better sorround sound / soundstage to it due to extra number of speakers but the clarity and amount of treble seem very close to it. Looks like Nissan did their homework on the 370z as far as performance on the road and sound is concerned. The one I tested was 2010 370z Sport Pkg.

are you talking about the Base Z.

I found the base model 2011 Z's to have pretty terrible audio. :(
Almost no bass and a very "honky" and hollow sounding midrange. It was tolerable for radio but if I was cranking my tunes through it I would be pretty disappointed. Even my 97 maxima with the standard audio has much better audio quality than the 2011 base Z34 I drove.

My base stereo is awful. Any amount of high volume means that it crackles, and in complex music, pieces go missing.

I want some of what you're smoking.

fixed. :tup:

Yes. 370z with Sport Package or No package? I am referring to the standard audio that is not BOSE.

You either got the defective one or you have very different taste in sound signatures. Sounds like you like having good bass. I'm looking for one that provides crisp and clear sound. The treble sound quality is pretty darn good. I was surprised. I don't really care for base.

I'm not smoking anything. I have clean record.

I am serious about the sound. I think I have learned a lesson NOT to buy a car with BOSE audio.

I'm not into bass. I like crisp, clear treble, and for that the stock radio fails hard.

Since several base owners have already chimed in here sharing my experience, perhaps you got the rare one that sounds good, rather than everyone else being defective. :rolleyes:

or perhaps you're trolling

I'm going with troll based on the username.

Actually I gotta say the base stereo is pretty bad...at least *my* base stereo is...even with an aftermarket h/u and good eq settings, I won't turn it up past midway.

But if you like the standard audio, then that means you will be saving a lot of money that most base audio owners must spend to make things tolerable :tup:

Okay... you are being too sensitive. Lighten up.

Okay... this is not even worth for me to respond. I will start ignoring posts like this one.

Thanks,

I'm not talking about high volume. It's the sound quality I'm looking for. You want high volume go get an optional audio system that has better amps and have speakers that are designed to handle higher output.

Sounds like most drivers / owners here like loud music.

Definitely trolling
