New studio on wheels in the Q50..still bose
When will Infiniti learn that no amount of Advanced Bose Audio Algorithms will make the cheap *** gear they install in our cars sound like a stereo from a real quality audiophile company? Gear ..not magic equalizers ......Can't stand Bose and their marketing bullcrap. It's just that crap not engineering ..crap. I hope someone from infiniti reads this forum. Dr. Bose is dead.

Overall, Bose puts out a better than average product, especially for the home. In the car, you have to take into consideration the environment and the characteristics of the car in general that make it a much less than ideal listening environment. Its still a lot better than stock and most other cars. To get the perfect sound, you will have to mat the entire car and effectively make it a chamber, however, that will change quite a bit as you are driving, so that's where the "algorithms" come in to compensate for that. IMHO, on a car of this caliber, it should be the stock system, not an expensive "upgrade".
Turn the drives side sound stage off an make your adjustments from there.

Not sure where you're seeing ML costs 10K. I just pulled a build on the IS350 and it was included in a $7500 package along with 12-15 other options including the F Sport package, Nav, etc.
I'm not arguing for/against Bose. My point was the typical customer believes it's a high end system. I would even say that the perception of Bose would be higher than B&O for the average consumer.

Bose is the Beats audio of car audio
Lots of Marketing and flashy colors with so-so sound.
I agree they should just do away with Bose.
I just went around all of the Bose set up when I installed my mids

Perhaps all of you should drive a WRX (or any Subaru) for a few years, then a G37 like I did. You will never complain about the Bose stereo. I have the 2013 G37x coupe with the NAV and I LOVE the the whole setup/sound/layout, etc. No complaints...think it's awesome quite frankly. Too much whining. I've also spent time in BMW, MB, Lexus, Range Rover, Porsche cars...still think the Infiniti Bose is just as good if not better than many I've heard.

I have heard good things about the B&O set up in the Audis but I haven't heard it in person.
Most just have a sub of two and produce a lot of boomy bass.
Drop in some decent mids with an amp for around $500 and it will sound much better than any premium set up.

My only gripe with the Infiniti's audio system is that the speed-sensitive volume feature doesn't seem to work well, no matter what the setting.

My Bose system sounds pretty darn good. Heck, I was listening to Mumford and Sons today and the bass waves coming out of the subs in the door was tickling the hair on my leg.
When properly tuned and playing good clean music, the sound is quite good.
