I have 06 coupe with BOSE. Even with Kappa’s on front, it does not sound good, too boomy and hard.
Recently I drove 05 sedan without BOSE and I would say its sound a little better then BOSE in my coupe. Why is that? Is BOSE amp that bed? Or I need also replace what BOSE call subs?

 

Two pieces:

1. The Bose amp places heavily equalization on its outputs. So if you simply replace the OE speakers with Kappas or whatever, you just have a more expensive speaker playing the same crappy equalized signals.

2. The stock head unit (clarion) is crappy. When you get up past a volume of around 20ish, it rolls the volume and bass off to "protect" the speakers from being blown. The internal processor sucks. If you fade the deck completely to the front you get distortion.

All in all, the system in its entirety "works" because of the little games each piece places with one another. Break it apart, and it only gets worse.

 

its better to get non bose when buying a new car....bose is just a name, atlease GM puts some effort on their bose systems. I been in my friend's cadi and he had a bose sys and i must say it sounds lot better then any bose system i heard. Nissan/Infiniti bose isnt that great

 

The bose in my FX35 was awesome...the center speaker helped allot and it was teh best sounding stock setup I have heard. The G35 Bose system is no where near it

 

The fact its better is because it's open, has no trunk. It makes a big different.

Anyways i gotta find out what time my fuking exam is....l8r the stupid exam might be right now while i'm chillikng on g35 forum..loll

 

try bass at 0 or -1 and treble at +4 or +5

 

I would answer differently.

The Bose system sounds the way it does because:

1) The speakers are crap. Bose is attractive to carmakers because there isn't much cost per car.

2) The amp is low power... which could be an issue when the EQ asks for more power, but in general it's a low-power, high-distortion amp.

3) THe HU isn'tgreat, but it's not terrible.

 

ROFL ROFL ROFL

 

So how bad is HU in compare to lets say simplest Pioneer CD DEH-P3800?

 

did you get my PM? I'm not feeling the love el_duderino

 

Sorry, I'm in the middle of moving the store. Argh!

 

my BOSE system is great in my G, love it.

 

How long have you been deaf? J/K , Honestly to each their own! Many people who post here don't like it. In the loaner car I had, 05 sedan non Blose actually sounded better to me but was not as loud. In this case I would take the non Blose. I ditched everything but the head unit in my car. It is all about personal choices

you saying that to me, i hope not, anyways, i have read that people like it, i have no problem with it, mine is great

 

I was trying really not to offend you but state here in the AV section specifically, most people would not have wanted to pay for the Blose system if it wasn't forced on them with a package.

People have different tastes. So for example you may not like massive bass or maybe you do, there is no wrong or right. The sounds produced by the Blose may just tickle your fancy. I am envious because you have not had to spend anywhere from 2 to 10 or 20 Grand getting it right for you. I feel that the almost 1g I had to pay for the OEM Blose was waste.

Lastly IMHO the Blose set up in the G is probably the worst Blose I have ever heard. Being 50 I have heard a few over the years.

Again these are opinions, no wrong or right.

Take poll if you like but still no wrong or right.
