No one seems to have a number but Bose never did advertise those figures either. System is above average to my ears without the ghetto thumping bass.

I enjoy the sound myself as well specifically the surround sound. What made me curious about the wattage I had no idea it had 2 subs in the back.

Well the max wattage is so you can get an idea. I think it's about 300 watts

Bose are way overrated, it's just the name. That said, the Maximas sound system is decent for casual listening. Just don't expect to be blown away, I think it must be tuned for certain types of music, like pop music sounds pretty good,. But once you start playing some more sonically adventurous bands, the Bose limitations really start to show

Panasonic used to make the Radios with the Bose name on them. The only thing Bose used to be the speakers.

I wish I had a Bose system in my 2018 Maxima. That's one thing that I miss about my 2013 Maxima. I had a Pioneer Aftermarket radio, upgraded speakers and a subwoofer. All of that wasn't crazy expensive (around $1000), but it sounded great. My 2018 Maxima sounds ok, but not anywhere close to that. And im a big music guy. I still love the car though.

I honestly don't know. It's not Bose though.

Nope. Only the Platinum model comes with the Bose system and even so. It’s nothing special imo.

My bad Fishlet, you're correct. SL, SR and Platinum all come with the Bose Premium Audio System with 11 speakers, including Bose Centerpoint 2 Surround Technology, Active Noise Cancellation and Active Sound Enhancement. The S and SV come with an AM/FM/CD audio system with 8 speakers.

I saved my 2007 Nissan Altima SL sales brochure. At that time the Bose with 8 speakers was listed as 264 watt. I would imagine it is at least that now.

My 2005 Maxima SL (that I'm still driving, 177K miles) came with a 320 watt Bose: "A number of options and packages are available on Maxima, including a Premium Audio Package, with a 320-watt Bose® audio system with 8 speakers and AM/FM/6CD, RDS and speed sensitive volume control" http://nissannews.com/en-US/nissan/u...ma-press-kit-3
