<<Turn the bass level down!>>
With reasonable bass and treble adjustments (ie. neither exceeding 75% of maximum) I can say from experience that the BOSE system in Maximas is bar none the best factory car stereo I have ever heard. It was also significantly better than $3,000 professionally set-up and installed aftermarket system my friend had in his car, which had clear bass, but no treble or midrange to speak of at all. Good music (classic rock) stays mainly in midrange and highs anyway.

Not very professional job then. Did he forget his tweeters and mid range speakers up front and back? Installing just bass is silly.

Yeah, his system should have sounded much better than it did. It was fairly high-end equipment (his uncle runs a car stereo place, he got everything free), he just went way overboard on the bass. The car was a pervious generation Mercury Cougar (the one that was based on the T-bird). I think he just went for too much power, he was constantly blowing something (at least 2 amps in HS and two sets of subs). The system was amazingly loud, but other than that it wasn't all that good. I don't know too much about the technical end of his setup, but I know that he had virtually no room in his trunk because of subs, and that without the engine running, the radio would kill (completely kill) the battery in under 20 minutes. When he went to college (and got another late-model Cougar) he didn't transfer the system over because he was afraid of it getting stolen. Thie time he just replaced the head unit and put new speakers behind the stock grills; the new system sounds much better than his old one ever did. I'll grant you that a person should be able to surpass a stock BOSE system for between $700 and $1000 without much trouble, but I've seen a lot of cases where the person only went for volume. Still, for a stock system, the BOSE is very good.

<< bose makes kick ass home theater stuff >>
then you've never heard the competition?
and I have the 200-Watt Bose system in my 2K Maxima and it sounds pretty good. the sound gets too damn bright when you crank it, and the bass can get muddy. the only thing i dislike about the system is that they have a volume limiter in there, which prohibits me from cranking it too high.

Bose makes the worst stereo equipment. Period. Nothing you can say will ever change that.
Ok, now Bose may not make the best stuff, but they are far from the worst. I'd say they're the best of the low end stuff, so they fall into the middle somewhere. My personal favorite stuff is Boston and Polk, but that's me. I like my Paradigm subwoofer for my home system alot too, I'm glad I went with them for it.

You should hear the Bose sound in the Acura TL Type S. I'll take the Maxima Bose over it any day. >>
Yep, that's the one I'm talking about (in my CL). What a POS.
