My G35 Coupe premium 6MT is one week old. Love the car, but not too crazy about the sound system. What can I do to improve it without spending a fortune. Replace the factory speakers?, Add a couple amps? Add sub-woofer system. I want to spend $1000 at the most, what would you do?

 

Your issue about the sound system has been talked about a million times.........If you go to the T & M section and search it, I guarentee you will come up with all the answer's you are looking for..........good luck.....................MASTERSR6

 

Another thing is to make sure you let it break in before you completely give up on it. I was really disappointed at first but it definitely gets better over time as the speakers break in a bit. It's still far from perfect but I enjoy it enough to keep it.

 

Mac: Some folks are just never gonna be pleased with a factory system. I've got a combined 110 years of rock'n roll experience on these ears (55 on each) and my Rolling Stones. Doors, and Jerry Jeff Walker CD's sound just fine in my G-Coupe. But if you must tinker (and 30 years ago I probably would have... but then again, I couldn't have afforded one of these fine driving cars), I'd start with the speakers. That's usually the weakest link of a system.

 

Has anyone been to the Infiniti website lately? It lists an additional sub as an option available, any information on this?

 

The first thing I did was adjust the base and the treble. I actually lowered the base as it sounded like Sh%T when I turned it up to 5. I could not belive it. I have the treble at 4 and Base at minus 1 or minus 2. CD's sound okay, but the radio sounds terrible. I will wait a bit to see if they break in some more, if not, I will replace the speakers and add a few amps and a sub system. I have two Alpine AMPS and a Kicker Sub system in my 4 Runner that I am selling. Perhaps I'll tear out the equipment before I sell the truck.

 

Info from the infiniti website (I never noticed this difference before):

Bose system as part of the premium pakage:
225-watt Bose® premium audio system with AM/FM/cassette/6 CD with 8 speakers

Bose sytem as a stand alone option:
200-watt Bose Premium Audio System- 6-disc CD autochanger
7 speakers
Bass boosting Nd™ woofer

Are there two different bose systems? The bose system with the premium pakage doesn't specifically say it has a subwoofer...it could just have 4-two way speakers. But then who wants to order the stand-alone bose with the "Nd" woofer and miss out on the premium pakage extras?
If I get a chance I'll give infiniti a call on this...
