I think it's unanimous Seth - just enjoy the sounds of your Pcar, don't turn on your stereo and you'll love it...

 

argghhh. You guys are killing me.

 

I just got my car last week. At first I thought it sounded good but then reality set in. I was just thinking today about the mid range. At least I didnt pay for the car and soundsystem at the new price!

 

Bose spends the vast majority of their money on marketing and only a tiny % on R and D and product.

 

and that became perfectly evident when I got in my car for the first time and turned on my "radio"....

 

You know, maybe it's the crappy music you all listen to... Try some new music produced in THIS century. Of course Foghat is gonna suck on your stereo.. it's Foghat! Slow Ride.

 

You need Monster cables to fully enjoy the rich vibrant sounds of Bose.

 

anyone know the speaker sizes we have the car?

 

If you change speakers, you'll still need to dump the BOSE amp because it has internal crossovers that are "optimized" for the BOSE speakers. You have an '02, so you may be able to tap an audio out coming out of the head unit to feed a new amp. 2003 and on have this stupid MOST bus, so there's only an optical cable connecting the factory head unit and amp. I'm assuming that there aren't any MOST Optical Digital to RCA Analog convertors out there, to feed an amp, or at least none that cost less than the car.
