A. No, because our custom-engineered, complete system solutions largely supersede conventional audio measurements. Even some basic building blocks have been redefined—including amplifiers, speakers and equalizers. But most importantly, our integrated systems deliver results significantly different from those of conventional systems with individual, unmatched components. With a Bose automotive sound system, the location and design of the speakers can be much more important factors in determining output than a wattage power rating. The bottom line? The best way to test a Bose system's sound quality is to use your ears, not a list of specifications.

Hmm, Smoke and mirrors comes to mind. :bs:

great post rogue one!

unfortunately there is a large gray area with stock bose units. its the 'monopoly' they like.
i had the same issue with my maxima. i was told i cant upgrade my headunit, because it will blow out my speakers. long story short- the new headunit put in anyway DIDNT blow out my speakers. bose likes to confuse people and stay dominant by either putting out very little info, or no info at all.

So, I know this thread is a year old, but it seemed the logical place to pose this query. I've got the BOSE 8 speaker system, and only recently noticed the speakers in the front doors sound more akin to the sub-woofer, with no mid-range or high notes. In fact the sound seems muffled/muddy. Surely this is not normal. :confused:

It's normal. They use the woofers in the door to replicate midbass, with the mids and highs coming above from the tweeters.

I'm kinda glad I didn't get the BOSE...

Thanks. Kinda half thought that might be the case, but given how poor the bass is reproduced in the door speakers, I was concerned it was something else.

Now that I'm on my second Rogue with this setup, I've gotten used to it. I suppose it could be worse.
