My 2003 Nissan 350Z Bose Stereo has no midrange control. Can an aftermarket graphic equalizer be added?

Question

I have a 2003 Nissan 350z with a factory Bose stereo. It sounds OK but has no midrange control. Just treble and bass. From what I've read some of the later Bose factory stereos have some settings like "arena" or "club" where it provides some equalization but this 2003 unit does not. It has a decent sub but by the time you turn it up loud enough to feel the sub the midrange is so loud it sounds like c**p. Can an aftermarket equalizer be added? Could an aftermarket 9 band graphic equalizer be added in-line and installed behind the flip up door in the dash? Every car stereo dealer I talk to wants to sell me a $2,000 touchscreen aftermarket stereo. This stereo would sound great if I had the ability to take out some of the midrange and accentuate the highs and bass. I see equalizers that should do the trick at Crutchfield for less than $200 but don't know if they would work with this factory powered system. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

yes but i say dump the bose and get a good stereo i wne with the kenwood ddx512 touch screen was $500 with nav and all the stuff. personally i thing bose is jusn and after i upgraded the system sound is much better on my stock speakers

Answer 2

yes you can add a EQ, it will make it sound much better with the Bose speakers

and as a rule those touchscreen radios need EQs also because they usually only come with a two or three band EQ

Answer 3

yes it would help out alot and u dont need to spend $2,000 on a dang tv and 200 sounds about right 4 a good 1 but i can get them 4 75 to 100  and if u have a factory stero it would make a big dif get a new deck
