Upgrade from base stereo system

Hey guys just got a g37 vert w/ the base sound system ( womp womp) . I REALLY need an upgrade. At high volumes, the sound outa my ipod distorts like hell. My camry had a better sound system (granted it was the premium JBL trim).

What do I need? Whats a ball park price for the equipment?

thanks guys!

I just bought a G37 convertible and the base sound system is NOT good. My Lexus base model was amazing. I want to know if Infiniti upgrades to Bose system on a base model or are there other places outside of Infiniti that can do it right and for a reasonable price.

Drove a G37 loaner when I had mine in the shop. The radio does suck eggs! Souns as bad as one in a Dodge Intrepid. Super high tweeter noise, loud, muddled, mid-bass. Low dynamice range. No midrange. Just overall crappy. I Like the Bose system a lot. Not the best, but light-years ahead of a standard car stereo.

In my G I have the Bose system and I'm not impressedvwith it at all. No punch, no real highs and the adjustability is not really existent. You can only adjust bass, treble, balance and fade. Pretty weak for a Bose branded system in my opinion.

If you guys want to upgrade, go to a shop that specializes in car audio. This way you can listen to and pick your own components. Why even upgrade to the Bose at this point???
