Hey guys, I was just wondering how many watts the Bose system had.

Thanks

 

"2007 Infiniti G35 Sport—$36,800
The Bose Studio On Wheels system in the Infiniti G35 Sport represent both the best and worst aspects of high-end OEM audio: The system sounds amazing with just about any type of music, but the controls are amazingly frustrating to use. The 10-speaker, 374-watt system features 24-bit Burr Brown digital-to-analog converters for a stereo sound that is among the best available."

I assume the 2008/9 unit is similar but with 11 speakers. from infiniti.com:
"**...Infiniti Studio on Wheels® by Bose® Premium Audio System with 24-bit Burr-Brown DAC, single-feed 6-disc CD autochanger with MP3 playback capability, Radio Data System (RDS), and 11-speakers, including 3-way component front door speakers with 10-inch subwoofers and a parcel shelf-mounted subwoofer, **Driver's Audio Stage, **Interface System for iPod®[10]..."

There is a Bose amplifier and a separate Sub-woofer amplifier, that I do not see any specification details on from the service or owner's manual. There are so many factors in audio reproduction. Bose seems to be a neutral, clear sounding system to me. Perhaps there are photos of the amplifiers in the forum somewhere...sounds like time for a search. I have attached clips from the service manual. Only the rear shelf "woofers" are powered by the sub-woofer amplifier? the front door 10" woofers are from the main Bose amplifier only? I will have to try boosting the rear or adding bass and see what happens. The center speaker in front is only used for bluetooth telephone speaker?

Looks like two 15A fuses to the Bose (premium) system, I assume one for each amplifier. Max'ing both fuses out at 12V x 15A = 190W x 2 fuses = 380W, very close to the 374W mentioned in the article above.

 

yea, they'll give u specs on the entire system wattage..but bose has never ever released their specs on their individual amps or speakers....this is so people can't mess around with their stuff....not only for car audio, but even home theatre, if u walk into bose and u ask them how many watts that specific system is...they won't be able to tell u, cause the staff don't even know...

 

thanks, it's a little lower than what was expecting for a Bose system. I was hoping it would be more like the Logic 7 systems in BMW's.
