sound system comment

I was actually very suprised at how good my base system sounds. To be honest the radio just sounds blah but when I pop in a cd the base hits pretty hard. It sounds great I think. I had an 04 350Z touring with the bose and I don't miss it.

I guess that's good point. My point was they improved the 370 over the 350
in so many areas but forgot about the sound system. the inside of the car is great until you turn on the radio.

You r absolutely right the base system sounds impressive that i am thinking about not upgrading it to a double din because it is going to diminish the sound I have a 2007 Durango and I removed the OEM radio with a JVC and it sound poor I regret it I am afraid that it will happen to my fairlady

Come on now it is not a fair comparison to make between a crappy stock radio put in by a car company and high end aftermarket audio. If you are into high end audio you should know better than to expect any stock system, base or bose to be able to compete with that stuff. So bottom line is and it's never changed, that if you want high end audio you buy the cheapest stock radio you can and then you yank it out. This is standard operating procedure. But bitching that the stock base or bose doesn't compare with an aftermarket system is ridiculous. I mean what were you expecting?

That said the 370z bose/nav system is better than most stock car systems. It still sucks, but where is the surprise in that? I am not sure what the complaint is? I have never heard a decent stock system installed by a car manufacturer (when compared to aftermarket systems). If you have high end audio expectations you should know it has to be aftermarket. This discussion is really moot.

Um I would check out the harmon/kardon systems in some cars and the infinity is others both blow away the bose system.

I had the Harmon Kardon ICE 12 speaker system in my Landrover and it had 3-way components in the doors. With the exception of lots of deep bass output it would put many aftermarket systems to shame. It was good enough that the only upgrade I did was add an aftermarket subwoofer and amplifier. It had impressive mid bass output and imaging and midrange was was suprizingly good!

I also had an Audi that had a monsoon system that was suprizingly good too. For not having subs it sounded very full and controlled.
