I just upgraded from A 350GT Premium to a 370GT SP. Both have a BOSE sound system, on which I use direct AUX inputs to pump my Android phone out (with MAJOR sound mods, see Viper); NB the 350 nneedded a special cable, 370 has an input point in the centre console/armrest. Now, The sound coming out of my 350GT was incredible. The sound from the 370GT is nowhere near as good. Were there different levels of BOSE audio in the 370GT? Are there any details about either system? such as watts frequency range or ... etc... And yes I know that BOSE are NOT big on publishing numbers, they simply sell on the basis of"it sounds good)

 

Basically, I would of expected the 370GT to be as good or even better, but it is not. My other possibility is that one of the speakers or amps are dead. Specifically the Sub. The sound system is VERY important to me. I use the AUX, so its the sound not the features.

So chances are it isn't an issue with my car only, but possibly an issue with the V36 itself. I thought maybe a sub and a tweeter had died. Its the low range and the highs that are lacking compared to the 350GT. And we will never know why, as BOSE don't publish their specifications.

You know what BOSE stands for don't you?

Buy Other Sound Equipment.

Inconsistent performance is part of the brand.

I am faaaaar from being a fan of BOSE as a brand. The fact they dont publish/test specs annoys me. However, the stereo in my 350GT was brilliant.I pumped into it through Android, using Viper. I guess I am going to need to consider adding to the stereo system. I went for a premium 370GT in a big part because of the stereo, incorrectly thinking it would of been as good as in the 350GT.

      Oh man what a deal.... Funny enough (well not really) I sold a car to some old dude (buying for his Daughter) on a Saturday, He asked if she could take the car now and pay me the money on Monday as the bank wasn't open. Needless to say I told them to come back with the cash or get f**ked! Luckily the money seemed to magically appear in his pocket a few minutes later, so it all ended well (for me).

      I wouldn't even move it like gTSBoy is saying. I'd seriously do what Duncan is saying. Unplug the injectors, and unplug the fuel pump.  Pull the spark plugs out. Have a look in quickly with a bore scope if you want. At most, you can't spray a bit of oil into the bores so there is lubricant in there while you crank it. (Don't fill it, as it's only going to enter the exhaust, or spit at you out the spark plugs holes. Before cranking the engine on the starter, after a 5 year sit I'd probably prime the oil system manually. Easiest way to do so is to look at buying an oil filter relocation block, fit it to the engine. The pressure line going into the engine on this block you can then shove into some sort of oil pump, or put it into a bottle, with that hose going to the bottom. Fill bottle up with oil. Now seal the bottle and add a compressed air line to the top of the bottle. Feed compressed air in, about 20psi will be PLENTY. This will pump oil through the motor. Be aware, it also means it will drain back to the sump, so make sure you don't end up over filling the motor Now bolt the old oil setup back on (or fully install the remote filter system).   This way you've at least pushed fresh oil everywhere, then you're letting the motor crank to then do its own oiling. Then I'd tap the key to make sure it can start to crank, if the motor free bumps, then I'd just hit the key and let it crank. After letting it crank and seeing you can get real engine oil pressure, put new spark plugs in, reconnect the fuel system electrics, and send it.   Additionally, you can look to remove the fuel feed line to the rail, and divert it to a tank so you can get the bottom of the tank shit out, and just incase there's some crud sitting anywhere that gets passed the fuel filter (or is already ahead of it).   If fuel injection at the injectors ends up appearing to be a problem, you can dump the injectors into an ultrasonic cleaner for a quick flush clean out. Note this isn't as good as new injectors, or getting them pro cleaned and flowed

      All I can say is, that's still bloody awesome! No plans on caging it I'm guessing?
