370z Complaints so far?

Glennm27 · 07-09-2014, 09:57 AM

I actually do have a 2nd complaint about this care, minor but still a disappointment. I bought a 2014 coupe with Sport package so I end up with the base radio which seemed fine to me.. AM-FM-CD with 4 speakers. That's how it's described by Nissan literature.. Fine with me. When I get the car I'm thinking the rear speakers aren't working. I go into the radio settings to see if the FADE setting is set correctly. It was, dead center (50% front-50% rear) THEN I realize the 4 speakers they speak of are all FRONTS, one in each door, 1 in each upper corner of the dash. Really? What a crappy set up that is....

...and my experience with the Bose set up is that the two tiny subwoofers over the spare aren't much help...

I feel your pain, yes the stock audio system really sucks. I had an 09 Z that had the base audio.. just bought a Touring model and the Bose stereo is 200% better!

Yup, thought and did the same thing. I dynamatted the doors and the base audio sounds better. I'm fine with it as I don't make the music loud at all. Listening to the engine/exhaust note while driving definitely makes me feel better.
