You'll never get accurate sound out of any car stereo - the cabin is bad acoustically, listeners are off-axis, &c. But few ppl think that truly accurate sound reproduction sounds good. Bose tries to produce audio that ppl perceive as being pleasant.

Everybody's ears are different - what sounds good to one person might sound like crap to another. If you like the way the Bose system sounds, stick with it and damn the naysayers. If you don't like it, get something that sounds good to you.

Personally, I think the Bose system in my 2009 Touring is pretty good. Not fantastic, but more than good enough to keep me from replacing it.

no highs no lows its gotta be bose.

its crap that being said id still by the touring/sport over the base any day. just know if you enjoy music your gonna need to change it

I know the guy that supposedly lead the design of the premium bose in my G35C.

He is intelligent, but don't know sh1t about car audio.I fixed it for him at my expense. :mad:

Lol

I never heard the bose in our car. I have a nismo with whatever it came with. As a self proclaimed audiophile, I think my stock system sounds fine. It's not great but ok under 50mph. The problem is that the car is very loud when driving over 50mph. You have to.turn the volume up pass 20 to be able to hear all the words. Once pass 20, it sucks. Thats the thing with audio of any sort. It generally sounds decent to good at low volume. Once you turn it up, it distorts. That's why "good audio components" come in. tjey are betyer able to sound good at higher volume. Want to test? Simple say a phrase, any phrase out loud. Now scream the dame phrase out loud and hear your voice break. Same thing.with speaker.

IIn'm the process of upgrading my.system even though the stock is fine. I just do a lot of highway driving so my volume is usually over 25. I get a little bothered by the system after a little while.
