A fun week with my Z, but…

This sound issue comes all the way back from the 370 and maybe the 350. I just change the speakers, sub-woofer and added twitters using the Bose Amp and sounds great.

Still haven't used it.

1 week with my '24' Performance 6 spd. I love it! I knew the pros and cons as I’ve watched every YouTube video but the one thing that bothers me the most as everyone knows is the stereo. If Nissan would have at least (very least) added a mid level adjustment along with the treble and bass, I could have tried to like the sound. After a plethora of adjustments forward, back word, treble, and bass….It sucks. I’ve read numerous posts on the huge amount of work to upgrade the stereo and I think I’ll pass. I think Nissan would have made money if they offered an up level option, many people would have paid the money. That’s it, I just wanted to vent (P.S. Bose just puts their name on anything now a days) 🫤

Yeah, the stereo in the Z is an offense to common sensibility. I'm one of those people who dropped in a very high end stereo into the Z. I wanted a high end audiophile's wet dream of a system, so that's what I did with a total Focal replacement for all speakers, added a couple bass pods and sound deadened the entire car (required pulling the interior out).

You don't need to do what I did to fix it. Any premium stereo component upgrade (JBL, Rockford-Fosgate, etc) will do the trick. Just pick your speakers and an amp or 2, then go nuts. I'm not an audio installer, so I can't comment on the ins and outs of doing the job, but you could always pay someone to do the work. No shame in that, I did. Others here will offer some advice if you try and do it yourself.

I won't brag about how much my system cost, but I'd wager you could get something very nice parted together and installed for under $2,000. If you just want some bass, you could really save some money and just add a sub in the car. IMO though, the real killer in that car is the lousy door speakers. If you replace those, don't cheap out on them.
