BOSE sub sucks!!

I have the Bose package for my 05 g35x.
Is it just me or does the bose sub suck? I could barely hear the sub bump/kick. How does your bose sub sound? Do you guys think the my bose sub is broken? I want some kick to the sub but there seems to be none with the bose sub. How does your bose sub sound??

thanks..

Search for the word "Bose" in this section and you will see that you aren't alone. Welcome to the Bose blows club.

The bose system sounded fine with the factory HU, but now that I have an aftermarket one, the volume is INCREDIBLY low when listening to the radio. I'm basically stuck with the iPod and/or movies.

Bose does suck when compared to other aftermarket systems. But any time I get in a friends car or my company car that has the "base" factory stereo system there is a huge difference. I dont think Bose is meant to provide the type of bass or highs that you can get from an aftermarket system but it is definitely an upgrade from most factory base models that I've heard-IMO.

I say if you're not happy with the Bose system, spend some money and upgrade.
