Could be the case, but I have Bose in my car and home, and I think it sounds pretty great. That iPod sound dock is the size of a piece of notebook paper, and it really pumps out some serious music. Anyway, I didn't pay for it, so it's whatever. Works just fine.

As far as my car, I pay a few bucks a month extra for the Bose premium audio package, and it thumps. Real nice, clean solid lows, mids, and highs. I test drove the Altima without the Bose, and believe me, the upgrade is well worth the $8/month increase in payment.

Hmmm, how much is the Bose upgrade total? I got my whip hooked up for the first time ever through a car audio joint earlier this year. Even if that upgrade is no more than $500, you can get a decent amp and a couple pairs of two-ways that would cost around that with installation. I'd guarantee it'd sound much better than Bose. After you pay your car off and you're interested in that kind of stuff, start looking into brands like Rockford Fosgate, Boston, Infinity and JL.

To be clear, I leased a new Altima this fall, I didn't buy it. I'm friends with the owner/GM of Chevy Chase Cars, so he hooked me up nicely. I don't remember how much total the audio package was, but I'm only paying $8/month extra. It's a 36 month lease, so I guess $288? I'd have to pull out all the paperwork to know the exact amount. Pretty good deal I'd say.

I'm very familiar with the other brands you mentioned. In my early 20's, I was really into car audio systems. I decked out my old 1999 Acura CL (It was 2001 at the time, so it was a sweet ride) with a Rockford Fostgate system. It really kicked.

Bose must have some deal with Nissan, because it's the only option for a "premium audio package."
