Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / Car Audio / August 2006Got a new car!!!
Just purchased a 2007 Infiniti M45 sport. I absolutley LOVE IT!!!!! What a car!!!! It has the 14-speaker Bose DVD/Nav system. It sounds decent, if not downright pleasant. Not quite what I'm used to, but nice. I might look into upgrading the sub down the road. Just thought I'd share my excitement with everyone. Tony  Signature2001 Nissan Maxima SE Anniversary Edition Clarion DRZ9255 Head Unit, Phoenix Gold ZX475ti, ZX450 and Xenon X1200.1 Amplifiers, Dynaudio System 360 Tri-Amped In Front and Focal 130HCs For Rear Fill, Image Dynamics IDMAX10 D4 v.3 Sub 2001 Chevy S10 ZR2 Pioneer DEH-P9600MP Head Unit, Phoenix Gold Ti500.4 Amp, Focal 165HC Speakers & Image Dynamics ID8 D4 v.3 Sub 2006 Mustang GT Coupe Alpine IVA-D310 DVD Head Unit, Alpine MRA-550 Digital 5.1 Amp, Boston Acoustics Z-Series Speakers, Alpine SBS-05DC Center Channel Speaker, Amplified MTX Thunderform Sub Sweet! I'm not sure what hte M45 is but I haven't really seen a Infinity I didn't love! 14 speakers though? That sounds way overkill....how are the tweets a high volumes? Probably pretty bright since there are likely at least of them..anyways....what is the sub stage gonna consist of in the nea future:D -- kevox "14 speakers though? That sounds way overkill....how are the tweets at high volumes? Probably pretty bright since there are likely at least 6 of them..anyways....what is the sub stage gonna consist of in the near future:D?" Actually no...Bose tweets are notoriously bland. However, this system doesn't sound halfway bad. I wouldn't mind adding a decent 10" sub...but I'm not looking forward to trying to integrate it into the Bose system. I've got an old JL 10W6 lying around, and I have a Image Dynamics 10" IDMAX that I'll pull out of the Maxima before I sell it. Tony > 14 speakers though? That sounds way overkill.... Too true!!! It's funny how car makers (and most people) seem to think the more speakers the better. When in reality, it's just the opposite as too many speakers diffuse the soundstage. My system has 8 speakers (nearly half!) and I have NO DOUBT I can blow the roof off of any 14 speaker "premium" system (in both SQ AND SPL). Ah, when will they learn.... But, of course, I'm sure the Infinity M45 is a beautiful car. Tony, how similar is it to your Maxima. I remember my '95 Maxima was nearly identical to the low-end Infinity's at the time (the I-class I believe) with the same chassis and all. But you have the higher end M class. Is that similar at all to a Maxima? My hunch is no. Just curious. Nick "But, of course, I'm sure the Infinity M45 is a beautiful car. Tony, how similar is it to your Maxima.

Is that similar at all to a Maxima? My hunch is no. Just curious." Not similar at all. The M is truly a sport luxury sedan. The acceleration is INSANE and it handles like it's on rails. It's unbelievable. It's also very quiet and buttery smooth and has a list of techno and safety features a mile long. The 14 speakers don't really sound as bad as everyone might think. Heck, even with the brand name "Bose" attached to them they don't sound half bad. It's very...."pleasant". It doesn't rock out and slam hard like a good aftermarket system, but it's just enough to get the foot tappin' and the head moving. I should mention that 4 of the 14 speakers are in the front seats themselves. They are located right behind your shoulders under the head rests. They certainly add a sense of ambience. The weakest link is the sub. It provides decent low-volume bass, but is very limited in the lower octave and doesn't move you like a sub should. To make matters worse, there is no sub-level control...only bass and treble. I imagine, like all Bose systems, that the sub should be the easiest upgrade you can make. I just have to take the time to figure it out first. Tony oh i'm sure your systems nice. no dout.. you keep it.since you paid up towards $2500 for it i bet..... i might of been misunderstood.. i didnt mean your car is bad.. i'm sure its awsome.. just i woulda went a different way. i myself woulda went a vw/audi instead... audi mighta cost about the same but its a AUDI!!!! much better car i think.... them germans can make a first class cars.... >> 14 speakers though? That sounds way overkill.... > [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > chassis and all. But you have the higher end M class. Is that similar at > all to a Maxima? My hunch is no. Just curious. The '06 M45 is built on Nissan's rear-drive FM chassis, which is the same as the Infiniti G35, FX and the Nissan 350Z. I haven't driven all of these cars, but I'd imagine they'd be made to feel fairly different given different suspension tuning and curb weight, but basically those are the "similar" cars. Definitely a modern, sporty chassis and by all accounts a quality piece. The current Maxima chassis is the front wheel drive "FF", variations of which are to be found under the Altima, Murano, and Quest. Just FYI. m45 lol.....sucker... you coulda got the 35 n saved 5k. n put that towards hifi candy....lol can you say 10' twin lcd monitors???? > <SNIP> > can you say 10' twin lcd monitors???? 10ft twin lcd monitors? 10" = 10inch 10' = 10ft SignatureI. Care Address fake until the SPAM goes away ;-} only a moron would think i meant 10ft over 10inches.... it doesnt matter what i put after 10. its given i'm talking inches...what a idiot..... > only a moron would think i meant 10ft over 10inches.... > it doesnt matter what i put after 10. its given i'm talking > inches...what a idiot..... Only an idiot would not know the correct symbols or be too lazy to use them properly. You ASSUME everyone would understand your inane stupid ramblings. You do know what ASSUME means don't you? Your stupid poorly written nonsensical ramblings show either the poor condition of the education system you came from or your poor ability to read, understand and speak. Which one is it? SignatureI. Care Address fake until the SPAM goes away ;-} yes i assume..you wouldnt think i'm saying get 2, 10ft. monitors in your car...lol really i dont think you could get them but if you could get them made. it'd cost towards $8k i guess. youd set less than 3 feet from a 10ft screen..lol thats funny.to think you thought i meant that..... > yes i assume..you wouldnt think i'm saying get 2, 10ft. monitors in your > car...lol > really i dont think you could get them but if you could get them made. > it'd cost towards $8k i guess. > youd set less than 3 feet from a 10ft screen..lol > thats funny.to think you thought i meant that..... Nowhere did I say I thought you meant that. I simply pointed out you were using the wrong symbols for what I believed you did mean, it's called educating, and everyone should strive to educate themselves. Would you use 10' of wire to connect your head-unit to the EQ when they are both in the dash together or would you most likely use about 10"? I would think if you are interested enough to give advice you should be interested enough to use proper grammar, spelling and punctuation to assure your intended audience easily understands. Yes, I understood perfectly. SignatureI. Care Address fake until the SPAM goes away ;-} > I would think if you are interested enough to give advice you should be > interested enough to use proper grammar, spelling and punctuation to > assure your intended audience easily understands. I don't know, I. Care. I'm not sure that "assuring your audience easily understands" is very high on Bob's priority list when he posts anything. Nor is his intention to give meaningful advice. I believe at the VERY TOP of Bob's list is making sure people like I. Care get frustrated and respond back to Bob's idiotic posts. This is why I block him.

I guess I expected too much from him. SignatureI. Care Address fake until the SPAM goes away ;-} I've blocked Bob Wald's posts. I would appreciate it if everyone would not take the time to respond to his posts on any threads that I start. If you do, then I can see what he's written or at the very least see what everyone's response is to him...either of which I care to read. No offense suggested, so please don't take any. Just a request everyone. Thanks!!! Tony Can I have your Mustang? Nick > Just purchased a 2007 Infiniti M45 sport. I absolutley LOVE IT!!!!! What a > car!!!! [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > Tony |
