Bose has improved somewhat over the years with Porsche applications. Something must be wrong if you have no bass at all. Bose isn't really the best product in the world, they just have good marketing. If you're not under warranty and it's turns out to be something expensive, don't waste your money fixing it. Dump the whole system (head unit, amp, speakers etc) and start over. It will sound better, have more features, and be much more ergonomic. I did have base.... too much, in fact. That is why I turned it down.

that is somthing i want to do in my car during next winter - to keep stock head unit but put in processor, new amp and new door speakers.

The Alpine processor allows you to hook up speakers and amps to any head unit and tune your system via parametice eq's. It comes with a mic and you place this mic in various parts of the interior and the Alpine unit cuts a flat freq curve and it also takes note of any pre eq the stock head unit might have built into it. It is a must have and a cool piece. It comes with a remote control so you can play around with balance and sub settings plus bass mids and treble. You can actually set the freq of each bass mid and treble control too...very slick.

I'm selling my Mini cooper S and/or trading it in and will be taking out the JL Audio amp, sub, Alpine processor and Hertz speaker in the door. If your interested I'll make you a sweet deal on them.
