CAMARO6 - View Single Post - Anyone do a complete stereo system upgrade from the Bose system?

I have a 2017 2SS on order and intend on upgrading the entire stereo. In the past I've used Boston Acoustics aftermarket speakers (the AC series - not the same as what they sold to GM for the 5th gen Camaros) but they're not what they used to be so I'm considering Focals all around. I have a 4 channel Pioneer amp I'll bridge to two channel, and its 50 watts RMS/channel analog MOSFET output. And an Alpine 4 channel 50 watt RMS MOSFET I'll bridge to two as well. Then a Pioneer 250 watt RMS mono sub amp. I will use factory size speakers in all locations to keep the look and reserve what little trunk space there is.

So has anyone seriously opened up a 6th gen 2SS or 2LT with Bose for a complete system? If you have, do you have pictures? I'm keeping the factory head unit as theres nothing to add, although I would actually consider a glove box or trunk mounted CD changer if there's a provision for an external CD player in the input on the factory audio processing unit.
