the bose sound system s*cks, even worse than my 04 accord's factory system. the sound is not as rich as i hope for and when i turn up the bass or volume i can hear distortion out of speakers.

 

Bose is only the Rear Speaker and the AMP that is powering the rear speaker.

 

Really? I thought it sounded a billion times better than the factory bose in my wife's TL. You wouldn't even know her car has a sub if you listen to it

And you don't know what distortion sounds like, until you crank up the volume on the factory "premium" sound system in my Pontiac

It's all relative to what you're use to....

 

i've been driving e46 m3 last couple years it's harmon kardon sounds 10 times better than bose, now i understand why mercedes are going to switch to harmon kardon from bose.

 

My mom's 04 Accord sounds way better than the G35c Bose. And my 350Z "base" stereo barely sounds worse than the Bose. Sad isn't it.

 

The "Blose" sucks. Its too bad the head unit is so integrated into the console, otherwise I think many owners would go aftermarket.

 

huh, I thought the factory Bose stereo sounded pretty darn good. oh well...

I don't turn it up that high though...just BGM while waiting for the light.
The exhaust and motor is my music during my drives.

 

Bose systems are designed to amplify bass and treble frequencies without any mid-range...hence the muddy or hollow sound. The bass is too boomy (I have my bass at 0 and it can be too much sometimes) and the treble is not very clear either.

So sad, I wish I could change it (cheaply).

 

yeah it's not that clean sounding. i've got a complete set of boston acoustic speakers w/ a solobaric 12" and xtant amps waiting to go in. bose is just pure marketing genius. i don't really care for it.

 

werd.

dont complain, my accord coupe only got 120 watts LOL X_X

 

u got the mp3 player right? If you do, do all 6 slots read mp3s???

 

and i have the bose system in my alti and i thought it was pretty good, better than most stock sound systems

 

u wanna see a suky stock system? get into a WRX. can't get worse then those! 3 of my friends have WRX's. 2 04's and 1 02. they allllllllll suck!!!!!!!

 

bose is:
rear deck speakers
the amp in the trunk
and all of the speakers being rewired to run off of the amp in the trunk

 

Biscotti: You can always get the jdm double din option. I must agrees Bose is pretty bad in most vehicles, although I was in a friends 03 MB S55 AMG and that system sounded pretty good for a Bose (I believe it was a Bose). Most of the Bose home audio stuff is really bad for the money you're paying, but there is an exception, the old school 901s, good speakers.
