What's wrong with the Bose system?

I've owned seven cars with a Bose system, and out of all of them the Nissan/Infiniti have always sounded flat. I don't understand why one manufacturer can have a great sounding Bose, while another can have a terrible sounding system. For example, the Bose in my 1994 NSX sounds great, as did the Bose in my 2005 TL that I traded for my 2006 G35C. The TL Bose had a multitude of user adjustments, and it also featured the new DVD-A. Listening to the Bose in my new coupe sounds just like the Bose I had in my 1990 300ZX TT 16 years ago. It sounds as though I'm listening to it through a tin can.
I guess that I'll just have to listen to more O&A and channel 150 on XM.

I think I'm going to get a single 10" sub/4080 box to push bass and lower bass on door speakers.

I love my Bose
I was thinking the same thing as I was listening to my CD on my Bose system. The sound clarity was great and I couldn't help to wonder why people on this board have a problem with their Bose. I mean, its not like we are trying to compete with the low riders hitting switches with the subwoofers falling out the trunk.

that's because Harman Kardon is a respected audio manufacturer and not a hyped up mainstream brand like Bose...
Like another poster pointed out, form your own opinion. I don't get into cars to listen to music, so the sound system isn't that big a deal to me. The Bose system in my G35 is however superior to the HK in my '02 M3, which isn't saying much since it's about the worse I've heard, and vastly superior to the base sound sytem in my 996. I think Porsche prides itself in offering lousy audio systems. I believe that they would just as well offer a car without a radio. Actually one of the most rewarding Porsche experiences is listening to the sounds made by a 996 equipped with PSE.
