I thought this was funny from the Bose website.
I am not saying "Bose" blows...I just think their Infiniti system sucks. Although I can not entirely blame them it is probably Infiniti's fault as well...but, the fact that they would not provide a customer with the specs for their system is just plain stupid.

Anyone who really thinks that BOSE makes good products really owes it to themselves to go to a forum like avsforum.com and read up, or go to a real home theater store and audition something like B&W's. There are such better products out there for the money.

Review of Bose system in new G35
For the sake of full disclosure, I work for Bose.
The new G35 should have a decent Bose audio system.

It's all in the eye of the beholder. If you are a person that considers yourself an audiophile you will no doubt think the Bose system is no good. If you think the stock sound system in your minivan is great you will probably think the Bose rocks. Here is something pretty interesting. I recently installed an AVIC-D2 in my ride. I had them just run it through the stock amp and speakers for the time being because I plan on building something truely impressive when I get the cash. I thought I was going to get absolutely no gain in sound quality since I was still using the stock system except for the head unit. To my surprise the Pioneer unit sounds waaaay cleaner than the Bose unit. The treble is far more defined and the bass is kicked up quite a bit. It was no doubt a huge upgrade to the stock system. This really made me think. Is the Bose equipent really that bad or is Pioneer really that good?
