Replying to: walt18 (Sep 03, 2008 7:17 am) I played video DVD of music performances and I bought a DVD audio on Ebay that I enjoyed.   The sound system is great with Dolby Digital 5.1 audio encoded media. But I think the speakers are only fair. CDs are PCM encoded 2 channel as are the audio tracks of some DVD/CD mixed media. I doubt which CD drive would matter since the media limit the number of channels.   Bose is overhyped junk.
#45 of 61 Bose stereo by navyscpo Nov 06, 2008 (5:51 pm)
I am very disappointed with the Bose Stereo. I have the standard system with the M35AWD. Sounds muddled at times. My wifes Ford Focus has a better sounding system. Never again. If I didn't have a leased vechicle, I would have swapped the speakers out the first week I owned it. Replies to this message: walt18 (Nov 17, 2008 9:50 pm) palincal (Nov 18, 2008 10:55 pm)

Replying to: navyscpo (Nov 06, 2008 5:51 pm) Does the subwoofer work without having to play a digital audio cd? Someone told me that the only speakers that will play with a regular cd or ipod is the 4 door speakers and that the other ones only work when watching a movie. If so I will not get the 14 speaker system cause it will be a waste of money. Replies to this message: palincal (Nov 18, 2008 10:55 pm)

Replying to: walt18 (Nov 17, 2008 9:50 pm) All 14 speakers including the subwoofer work all the time. You can take a regular CD with you and play it while test driving. You can hear the sound coming from the seat speakers. Having 14 speakers (especially the seat speakers) does add lot of depth to the sound.
#48 of 61 Best way to upgrade the BOSE 8 speaker system?? by reinstein Nov 28, 2008 (1:01 pm)
Hi everyone. I just bought a 2008 M35x and I would like to upgrade the sound system if possible. I have no experience so any and all advice is welcome.   I mostly listen to Jazz and Classical so am not interested in big base sound. I am mainly interested in clarity, presence etc. (My former cheap honda accord system sounded better..perhaps due to in-dash tweeters). I also would like to do as little as possible to mess up the electronics to improve things.   Another main goal would be to be able to hear the bluetooth phone calls I get more clearly (with hindsight I probably should have gone for the advanced tech package with speakers near my ears in the seat). I think tweeters would help here.   So, what should I try first. Would simple door speaker upgrades help me accomplish this?   Are there replacement upgrades for the dashboard speakers (I did not see any on crutchfield site).?   Can I get tweeters installed relatively easily given available holes?   How important is a new amplifier? And for that, it would mean a digital processor etc I assume? this would all take up extra real estate which is pretty limited in the M35.   Thank you Thank you.

Replying to: reinstein (Nov 28, 2008 1:01 pm) I listen mostly to contemporary jazz. Just changing the front door speakers was an improvement but going a little further the least expensive way for me was to change out the front door speakers (JL-Audio 6.5"), used a JL Audio slim box subwoofer (mounted in the trunk up against the back seat), and a JL Audio 4x75 watt amplifier (bridged two sides for the sub and 75 watts to each door). Determined the stock tweeters were good enough and that changing the back door speakers, since passive only, did not upgrade the sound enough to warrant the money. I tried a slim line sub in the back deck but there was to much rattling no matter how much sound dampner we installed. I bought the stock cover for the hole and this ended up creating enough pass through for the bass box. Sounds 100% better. Not huge amounts of bass but much more than stock and the box does not take up hardly any room. The installer was great and we experimented with various set ups until I was satisfied.
#50 of 61 IPOD INTERFACE "BUG" needs improving. by reinstein Nov 28, 2008 (1:38 pm)
My new M35x (2008) has a reasonable iTunes interface and it seems to recognize and interface well to my 60GB IPOD (5G). Since it also charges it I plan to simply leave it hooked up in the car. MY Problem (and question) relates to the fact that I have ALOT of music... something like 950 Albums appear on my Navigation Screen when I select ALBUMS in the iTunes interface!! This is not a problem on the iPod which allows a super fast scroll through the selections or even (with newer iPods, a selection of the 1st letter of the Album for fast retrieval).   However, the Infiniti iTunes interface always displays in alphabetical order, and even with the fast scroll through the albums, it takes several minutes to select an album that begins with the letter M (such as Marley, or Mendelson).... let alone getting to play something by Sting (S). !!!   There needs to be a much faster scroll for this to be used with larger music collections!!!!   Are there any hints or workarounds for this problem? I have not thought of any yet and would appreciate the help.   (Do engineers at Infiniti listen to any of this feedback for future updates?)   Larry

Replying to: reinstein (Nov 28, 2008 1:01 pm) I'm starting down the same path, and have all but decided to go the Inifinty CS in the front doors and standard 2 way Infinity in the rear doors. They are the only 2 ohm available from multiple sources at discount prices. They come with high reviews. From what I understand, if you want to do more than this, then you have to get into the DSP from JL Audio or something similar. Too much for what I am trying to accomplish.   Let us know how it comes out for you ! Replies to this message: reinstein (Nov 28, 2008 3:55 pm)
