Hi everyone ive been lurking here and reading for a couple months now i have some stereo questions about the bose system:rant2:
1 conflicting information.. on adding a sub. can i tap directly into the factory sub wires for my converter or not..
- if no then where should i splice.
2 how is the sound quality with a aftermarket head unit installed?
- seems like you would still have the same crappy bose sound with just a diff HU
3 how do i keep my cd changer controls with a after maket HU
4 has anyone tried replacing the bose amp with a aftermarket 5 channell amp using all of the stock wires? that just seems like an easy way to get better sound
5 what is the parts list to:
a- add a aftermarket subwoofer to a bose system
b- add a aftermarket hu to a bose system and keep ALL of the controls
6 can someone compile a complete list of items you will need to do a complete sway\p job hu subs and amps also the best place to get them..
i am not new to the stereo game i have built quite a few good systems. however this bose system to me just SUCKS there is not enoug treble and to much midrange and very little bass.
fwiw i built a sweet system using the factory HU in my 96 roadmaster i replaced all the speakers and added tweeters in the back deck and a pair of subs. that was it it was CLEAN and loud. and sounded awesome. however my bose system is horrible compared to that.
cleansweep is out of the option list thats to much $$ to spend just to completely redo you system.
thanks in advance for you help!
