Anyone seen it or listened to one?

From an Infiniti G-35 website.....

Hope it doesn't cost 5k. lol.

3-way set in the doors, with 10s. Interesting. And also a little odd since the OEM has been doing A-pillar tweets for some time now, which has been a nice change. But then again this is Bose so they probably found a way to add even MORE processing to try and achieve a stage that would be similar to using a-pillars, yet choose not to do the more logical thing and just put them there......

C6 'Vette has 10s in the doors. Dunno how it sounds though. The factory Boston Acoustics setup in my Magnum R/T isn't all that bad for factory. It actually thumps along pretty good.

the premiem option that includes the "Studio on wheel system" is about $2350us. which is not too bad at all IMO.

I'm not sure exactly where they have the speakers, but i would asummed the tweeter is up high on the doors near the side mirrors /A-pillars are, and mid at the far bottom of the door, midbass somewhere between the mid & tweeter or rear of door. the 10" sub in the rearshelf etc.

Here's more insight on the system design: (from the Infiniti website)

So, is thats over the top?...... I doubt very much that high-end car audio shops would put in that much effort for their serious audiophile customer's car or to be even able to offer these kind of services........

car audio for me is not just about the end product...it's the journey!

You have to take their descriptions with a grain of salt though. It all sounds great and wonderful in the literature, and then you listen to the system and you're like: Okay, where did all this R&D go?

CA&E has an interesting article on their site where they featured two cars that is owned by a guy who does tuning for OEM stereo systems. What he has to say is an interesting insight to the world of how an OEM system gets designed and tuned. All kinds of fingers are in the pot so to speak. How the engineers like a system to sound, how the manf. wants the system in that brand of car to sound for the projected buying audience, what the bean counters cut back in forms of R&D time, product quality, design issues on where speakers can be placed vs. what the interior design team wants, etc. A ton of compromises really. They might like the sound of that $30k system and took a zillion measurements but that still doesn't mean it will sound good because of all the restraints placed on them.

It might be a decent system for stock but based on bose marketing and the overpriced crap they sell I think Id be going for the base system with plans to add my own equipment.......

2350US... LOL...

I'd be delighted to swap out the drivers in G35 if I owned one and didn't like its sound. How sweet, a car allowing a 10" midbass/sub without major mods ehehee. yay.
I really want to see the door without the panels, just got to wait for someone to pop up with one.

yeah.... that's the reason i want to hear from someone that have heard it.... before its worth my while going down to the dealership for an audition.

I know, It all sound too good...... (for the effort they put in to this option) Because of the unknown factor like... how good the engineers is (in experience and understanding the fundermental that makes the ultimate soundstage in a nearfield preasurized enviroment. etc) and not sure what 30K system they use for their reference..... but I'm sure a good listen will reveal if its all hype or not.

On the other hand lexus is proud of it's ML 18 speaker system.
