2005 G35 Sound System
Two questions:
- How does the sound system in the base G35 compare to the Bose system that you get with the Premium Package? I don't care much about having a ton of base, I just want crisp clear sound. I normally listen to pop/alternative.
- Any problems with the MP3 playback in the CD changer? Can I just use a regular computer CD burner to put 100+ songs on a CD and play it? Do I have to finalize the CD with MP3's? Can I use CD-RW discs, or only CD-R? Finally, does it display the titles of the songs as they are playing?

the bose system has a lot of bass and very little highs. the regular non-bose system actually sounds better because of that fact. however, if you upgrade just the bose tweeters, it will sound much much better.
the 05 stereo works fine with mp3's. i'm not sure about cd-rw's though...never tried it yet.

None. Yes, your 100 - 120 songs per CD is accurate. You can also organize then by folder and move between folders easily, plus you can use the random feature to shuffle between songs on all 6 CDs. I finalize, but I can't tell you for sure if it is MANDATORY. CD-RW discs work fine. I have not been able to figure out how to make the display ID tags. I don't believe it can.

I have the JL tweeters. However, you can go to crutchfeild's site and look for any 4 ohm add on tweeters. I hear the Polks and the Infinitys work well also. As far as the swap, it's pretty easy. Just pop off the tweeter grill and remove the OEM tweeters and install the ones you buy. If you don't feel comfortable doing it, go to a car audio shop. Installation should be minimal and they may have suitable tweeters in stock.
