I see in your second video you tested a song that was bass heavy. How was the subwoofer bass of the car? Clear? Crisp? Loud? Did you actually feel it bumping?


cool vids by the way.. thanks for the uploads

 

it must have been nice with all 11 speakers, sure beat my 4 speaker system

 

I tested a HUGE variety of songs, from the song in the vid (THis is why i'm hot) all the way to Cindy Lauper's Time after Time.... hahahahhaa. yea, shutup. lol The salesperson was astonished.

I didnt feel it really BUMP, but rather it was crisp and refined. I do like the BUMP feeling too, but i was so busy playing with everything that i cant really remember now. CRISP is good word to describe it, but not BUMP or Rattle.... that could be bad or good depending on ur taste

Maybe its cuz lotta cushion in the seat to dampen it? iunno
Oh well, that means i "need" to go test drive more

 

^^ would you say the bass is adequate? Was the bass gain turned up all the way when you tested, or was there more room to go up? Did it sound like it was gonna distort if you tried to crank it higher?

 

BASS and treb were at MAX, BAL and FAD were all in center.
Seemed there was auto speed / volume correction going on, which i didnt like... didnt get into the menus enough to check it out.

It didnt sound like OMG im in a 40K lux car with 11 speakers, but it did sound prettty good. I'm comin from a 6 speaker toyota corolla. My audio expectations are high usually.

 

Yeah I believe that was in the original G37 specs that were released, Nav package with HD replaces in dash 6-disc CD changer. The changer was never in the trunk in the gen 1 car, it was always single feed in dash.

Thanks for posting those vids, got to love that exhaust, sounds a lot more throaty/aggressive than I was expecting.

EDIT: oops nevermind, I thought you were talking about the gen 1 coupes, I've heard the 6-disc changer moves to the trunk on Nav cars but if they get rid of it entirely I'm not too worried especially with the iPod Interface.

 

The 6-disc CD changer on the Premium package reverts to a single disc CD player plus 9.3GB hard drive with the Nav package.

 

Definitely blue slate. What dealer did you test drive at?

 

Since it is a Bose system it should be very crisp but I doubt it will be heart pounding. There should be no rattling or anything of that sort even when turned up high. Bose prides themselves on having great sounding systems but also limiting the consumer on what they can balance on the system such as bass and treble. I haven't heard this system yet but I have a Bose home system and have sold most of their different platforms in the past. Thankfully they have gotten better in the bass department.

 

Thank you very very much for the video! The exhaust note is amazing. It sounds deeper and meaner.

 

Woah i was aware of voice recognition and all but i didnt know u could change car temperature and all. What other kind of voice commands can the nav system take? Also im seeing ppl are pleased with the sound system in the car but i recall a certain magazine review saying the bose system is crap. Im not sure what their issue with it was but im sure with some tweaking the system will be real nice. Did you happen to try the live stage feat i think its called?

 

Voice commands for HVAC, Nav and Phone

 

Awesome, that exhaust note is so sick!

 

Hey man, np. Glad you liked. You're gonna be one of the first here to get yours prolly... hope you have a good camera ready

anotha: I think its called SoundStage. I started to look for it, but didnt keep it up. Just had small amount of time to enjoy it all. Lol

crazycarl16: PM'ed u back

Orbie: You're right, we got LOTTa music options as it is. So, not hard pressed bout the 6-disc in trunk goin away. Ah well.. less weight? lol

I did like the voice commands for HVAC, NAV, Phone, etc. What really impressed me was this Nav actually speaks the name of the street (like VZ Nav on my cell phone).
I'm used to the basic TomTom and Garmin systems not being able to do that.

 

heard it in person and it sounds sweet.
