Bose Sound System

It is my opinion that hi quality sound systems in cars are a total waste of money. The acoustic qualities in a car is one of the worst environments for sound, particularly in the Z. The two things you will be paying for in a quality system is volume (amp power) and signal to noise ratio. Ok power you can use but signal to noise, forget it. I think the sound system in my Z is more than adequate anything more is overkill. As I said this my opinion only.

The Bose system of the Touring package is quite good if the audio source is not from AM/FM radio.
Otherwise, I am very happy with the Bose system when the audio source is from Itouch/Ipod, hard disk, etc.
It would be much better if the car has less road noise.

The Bose system does the job and nicely. If I want to listen to HiFi music, I'll listen in my living room on my Rotel/B&W system. Frankly, I prefer to drive with my stereo OFF as I'd much prefer the symphony of the engine and exhaust.

Well I can't quite keep my pedal to the metal at all times to drown out my girlfriend's nagging. That's when I need my stereo.
