cmr1991 Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Hey Folks, Soon to start a full upgrade of the car sound system, the bose system is possibly the worst sound I have EVER experianced. New double din with all the gizmos, New speakers, amps and sub to be bought and fitted, This is top of my list of things to do, IT hurts my ears the quality is so poor! Plus the Fm radio frequancy on the imports doesnt allow me to get radio 1 where I live hahah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
un1eash Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 I thought the Bose sounded alright, sounded great with an aftermarket head unit also. You need a band expander for imports to pick up radio 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun1982 Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 My Bose is massively pi55ing me off at the minute too. Skips all the time at times, tape won't work to use my phone & the sub cutting out winds me up. Not to mention the random various volume levels Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 4 Beta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4RE Leather Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 The non GT definately are even though they have bose written on it. We should do em under trade description lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S1 HNK Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 All depends what you are comparing it to. It's far from awful but its obviously not the best either and there is room for improvement. Try one without the Bose if you think that is bad! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbiscuit Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 All zed Bose stuff is rebadged clarion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmr1991 Posted June 10, 2013 Author Share Posted June 10, 2013 All zed Bose stuff is rebadged clarion. My porsche had bose in it.. Fair enough its a totally different league of car so its expected to be good, but the bose in that to the Z was just amazing! I guess the 350z is a old car after all, just shows how much things have come on, but anyway still reading regarding this. I took it to a company to have a new Double din, speakers subs amps etc.. The seemed so disinterested it was unreal! If anyone knows any good installers in the N.West or N.wales area feel free to shoot me a PM.

Chris AME Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Its not a 'bad' system there are a lit worse out there but it is not a 'good' system either its a lot better than the system in my other cars micra and primera gt and my girlfriends mini is nowhere close Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy78 Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 I've never found it an issue and really like the sound quality. I'm sure there are better systems, but it's 1000 times better than the tape player and 2 speakers in my previous car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ddcboyle Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Bose is good. Obviously alot better than a normal cars stereo. But that little badge makes u pay more. 500pound bose is worse than spending the 500pound on a different brand 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that little badge makes u pay more. 500pound bose is worse than spending the 500pound on a different brand Bose in car on Nissan & Mazda for example is complete and utter $hite it certainly is no better than 'normal' car stereos or practically anything you can buy from Halfords for £100 or more.... Mary's new MX-5 has Bose..... but not for long Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any audio shop could do the head unit. Amps you could install yourself Sub, depending where you want it I could help you out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djb55 Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 I play MP3's from my S3 through a Parrot Blue Tooth and the sound is really good, big improvement over the standard BOSE Radio/CD. So I imagine the speakers are OK its just the head unit thats a bit naff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
