Thumbs down I thought this was funny from the Bose website.

I was browsing their site trying to find the specs of the Amp and looked at their FAQ. Question number three really is the answer I love to hear from a company.

3. Can I get a list of technical specifications?

No, because our custom-engineered, complete system solutions largely supersede conventional audio measurements. Even some basic building blocks have been redefined—including amplifiers, speakers and equalizers. But most importantly, our integrated systems deliver results significantly different from those of conventional systems with individual, unmatched components. With a Bose automotive sound system, the location and design of the speakers can be much more important factors in determining output than a wattage power rating. The bottom line? The best way to test a Bose system's sound quality is to use your ears, not a list of specifications

Nothing says "our products are sh*t" like hiding specs.

That's the biggest bunch of marketing hype I've ever read--including ads for snake oil or coffee enemas

The clarity of the sound on the non-bose loaner i had was not good at all, but the Bass wass 100% better than that of my bose system. We should start a petiton and send it to them, saying we are all unhappy with the quality of the system.

I had a non-premium loaner before too, and I thought it sounded much better than the bose.

I really feel I wasted money buying the premium package. I should have got non-premium with sunroof.

If you dont get the premium, you loose auto headlights, homelink, power adjustable wheel, and dual climate also. I just wish they could do something to correct the quality of the system...

Yup...Bose car audio systems suck. So what else is new? That is quite the amusing response though.

I was just wondering how much wattage it puts out you know. I just finished adding an amp/sub and swapping out all my stock speakers with Infinity Kappas. Sounds a hell of a lot better, I just need to tune my amp now...I feel like one of those ricers! LOL

Bose is by far the best theatrical sound system out there.

Their G35 system might not be the best... but its good. Most of you just follow the bandwagon of saying bose blows.

Yes +1 IM a producer and Dj and i know good sound quality, and my bose impressed me so i have no idea what all u other people are talking about. I have the Bose home stereo in my kitchen and it sounds awesome. I am a Bose fan so u other guys can stick to Harmon Kardon and Infinity
