Why anyone thinks they are going to have audiophile-spec sound in a quite noisy 370Z is beyond me :rolleyes:

I'm an avid audio hobbyist, and have been for too many years.

As said before, Bose is a marketing company first, and while I haven't heard their pro stuff, it's pure amazing how they're able to sell their consumer stuff.

For instance, the tweets in the Z? Paper cones, I believe - really? Put a paper cone on a "high-end" speaker at home and you'll get laughed at...

...wait - their Acoustimass series speakers are also paperconed - correct? Now, many other manufacturers use paper cones (mostly treated, doped, etc.); but there's a reason why Bose doesn't publish the frequency response specs of their cube speakers - you'll laugh.

Believe it or not, I think the Bose in the Z isn't all that bad (but it's gonna get replaced REAL soon). The high frequencies are a bit grainy, and will get strident/stressed when you turn it up. The bass, coming from the spare tire, is actually a bit decent sounding. But for $3000? U got marketed, baby...

3,000 grand ??? Really

No highs
No lows
It has to be a Bose:inoutroflpuke:

Hahaha $3000....I think maybe somebody missed a few options in the Touring package, John, eh?

X2 :icon18:

:icon23:

Okay, u got me. But it's still too expensive... :p

I am ordering a 2011 touring coupe.....and I have not been able to find one to look at in person........I know the package includea an 8 speaker Bose.....exactly were are all 8 speakers?

2 tweeter in dash
2 6x9 in the doors
2 3.5in in the rear(behind your head)
2 4in subs in spare tire well.

Thanks....lol...I have been looking for over a week to find that out.....The speakers in the spare tire well are covered by the carpet then?

They are in a round plastic like container that's has Bose written on it in the spare tire well covered by carpet.

For what it is worth I took my entire Bose system out and replaced everything.

Thanks again.....+1 for you...

Where did you buy your car? I might be ordering my 2011 in Hotlanta

I got mine from Stone Mountain Nissan but they didn't have any in stock so they traded a car for mine and went to N.C. to get it.

i know you guys say bose blows and maybe so.....

but right now it would sound pretty good to me....

i've got the base system in my 09 and starting to upgrade.. starting with jbl's
then on to HU.....
the sound system in a rouge is better then the stock system in a 370....

I would advise against the bose system you will save money in the long run if you ever want to upgrade its easier with stock. X2 with take everything out and putting new in.
