Unfortunate that Polk hasn't treated you well; I've done two recent vehicles (6 pairs) with Polks (in part) and have had no problems. I didn't like the Bose system at all , but certainly do begrudge anyone who does. |

I have over 2000 LPs, just under 1000 CDs, plus numerous 8-tracks, cassettes, MD discs, &c. I get high-end stereo equipment for the house, where the environment is conducive to sound reproduction, but not for the car. Putting high-end gear in a car, especially in a small cabin like the 370Z, is like polishing a turd, IMNSHO. But if your ears can hear that much difference and you are willing to replace the factory system then, by all means, go for it. We all have different ears and I recommend that ppl get the stereo that sounds good to them; not the one that sounds good to me or the salesman. PS: I've never tried earbuds - I'm a headphones kind of guy.

Regardless of our individual opinion on how much we like the Bose system, the facts are simple. It is not meant to be a thumper system, and it is definitely better than the normal equipment (quality of head unit, amount of speakers, nominal watt handling rate, distortion at average listening volumes, etc).
Sounds like OP has some not ordinary problems. Lets agree to disagree. Oh, and OP, have you taken your Z to the dealership? I am sure they can check it out if you are not fully sure how to check your grounds and what not. |

I checked the subwoofer in the truck and the screw holding it down was loose. Tightened it up and it sounds a bit better. I'm still using +4 bass and +2 treble though. Always below 15 volume, typically between 9-12. I can feel the air move out of the subwoofer port, and it vibrates, but it's not the best sounding sub I've heard haha. Guess that's what you get when you mount a sub on top of the spare wheel!
I think it depends on the sound source as well. I fixed the bluetooth hissing with a better 12v to usb adapter, and some internet searching shows that sirius radio does have a muffled sound compared to CD/FM. |

Our cars have little to no sound deadening material. So unless this thread is referring to listening to music with the car not moving and the engine off, it's pointless.

I have the bose in mine and its worlds better than my 09 was. So ether your deaf, or your system/what your jacking into it are broken. Also, if you havent yet, use the eq settings, as the ones it comes with default make it sound like a 1980s boombox being played in a tunnel. could just be that BB too. I know If I play music off my Ipod its much better than if I use my phone.

I already went through my "sweet base bro" stage back when I drove a grand am GT at 16 years old. Now that ive grown up a bit.... honestly the bose system is fine. Besides, who wants 2 big dumb *** looking 14 in 35lb each rockfords with a giant amp and 20lbs of cable, matting, and caps in the car when your tracking it? you would have to be a complete ******* idiot. Also..... this car ALREADY doesnt have cargo space, so why fill the only little spot you can carry something up with **** that only serves the purpose of impressing OTHER people?
