Official Monterey Blue 370Z Z34 Thread

I really wish I could like this blue, but it's not dark enough. If they would offer Daytona blue, then I would definitely go with that. I just don't like the smurf blue.

I thought it would be in the door also, but then again they say that the base has 6 speakers and the touring has 6 speakers + 2 woofers so why would they change the way it is set up just for the touring. If anyone has access to look at one, they should help us figure this out.

Sure hope its not that sub.... Blose spare tire subs suck bigtime. Horrible. Can't even tell when its disconnected its that bad.

You can tell when it is disconnected but yes they are not that great.

Crash · 12-31-2008, 03:38 AM

Actually, from what I'm reading in the audio/video thread (I believe) it IS the sub that's in the spare and it sounds good now. Someone said that you can really hear the base now and it's hitting low 50hz. I haven't heard the system yet, so I couldn't tell you, but I'll take it either way. My car has 2 channels and 50 watts of furious sound...

Zonsolo · 12-31-2008, 06:57 PM

I hope you guys are right, but Bose philosophy has always been "bass should be heard and not felt" so I really doubt it thumps at all. Which is why the 50Hz sounds about right, possibly. When I used to have a real system in my cars we always crossed over subs at 30-60hz and turned up gain at 25ish. 80-120 is pretty much mid-base IMO.

My wife's RSX has a similar Bose sub and honestly it is impossible to tell if its hooked up or not. At full volume and the bassiest recording I could find, it just buzzes. PVC does not make a good speaker enclosure, especially not a sub.

The touring only gets the Bose system right? Hmmm base + sport package seems more and more attractive every day. (yes - I'm no fan of Bose).

I can't wait to see one of these blues in person, the pictures all seem to change the hue so much its hard to get a feel for what is the 'true' color.

I'm hoping its closer to the BMW laguna seca blue.

18rgcelica73 · 12-31-2008, 10:00 PM

See I am not one for audio performance as much as engine and suspension performance. So to me the type-s's sound system is pretty good. I think the same way about the blue, but every time I see it I really just want it that much more.

josh@z1 · 01-01-2009, 10:29 AM

The Subs are on top of the spare in an enclosure that I am certain is housing two in pure bose fashion with tiny speakers and the enclosure causing the "thump" which I am told hits pretty hard (I drove the base, Russell drove the touring). Russell really emphasized how excellent the Bose sound system is and would not want one without it.

Good to hear. The 10inch bose sub that's in my Solstice thumps really hard... It's rare when I get in a car with a bose sub and I'm not impressed at all. But I'm also not an audio equipment snob.

shumby · 01-01-2009, 05:10 PM

notice how this is a color thread and everyone is now talking about the blows speakers now. That is because MB is such a boring colour. lol Back on topic guys. Or better yet Start a Bose stereo thread I bet other would like to read about this and voice their .02

18rgcelica73 · 01-02-2009, 12:07 AM

^ That is because MB is so awesome that words escape the person.
