I posted some pics of my setup on my 1994 Camaro awhile ago, and I was pretty proud of it. Someone replied and said that they would have fired the guy that installed the 1/0 gauge wire off the battery with a 90 degree bend into the fuse holder. Whoops! But I just had no idea, so I fixed it.

It's just kinda disappointing that none of the resident audio experts have chimed in. I've seen a lot of interesting audio threads with lots of contributions and interactions in here, but I guess they are from past years. This must be a dying forum, since the 6th gen came out 8 years ago at this point...... I ended up having to join an audio forum to make some headway.....

Thanks. If it helps make your decision easier, I would have done something like this in my car if I didn't have such a tight budget and didn't want to avoid adding weight. I would imagine that this or a NavTV interface and DSP combined with good speakers and amps would really sound great.

I have no personal experience with the product you listed. I can read the manual and make assumptions based on experience with similar products if you'd like. Axxess is a fine company and their products usually work well. My concern with any of these interfaces is noise. They aren't built to the price point necessary for noise to be a non-issue. While it's not cheap, that cost is not put into the audio sections and the form factor is much too small to compete with comparable products from Alpine, Helix, Mosconi, etc. but it's probably similar to new, entry-level Zapco, Dayton, Audio Control, etc. This is an all-in-one interface and 10 channel DSP. You would not need another DSP. Installing this seems straightforward but I don't have experience with their software, so no idea how easy it is to tune. No where in that link does it mention Bose except the main page. Usually, the install instructions mention Bose but if it just bypasses the amplifier then maybe it's more "universal"? I also don't have Bose and intentionally did not want Bose because I didn't want to hassle with the interface, so I haven't invested time into understanding the best way to deal with Bose for this car. My recommendation is to avoid premium audio systems if you want aftermarket. This has been true since the late 80's. But the 2SS package is popular so it's helpful for people to have a resource for this kind of product. Highly specific questions about infrequently used products will rarely get a lot of useful replies. It's not like people buy a Camaro for an audio platform, nor is it an overly popular car for that type of crowd. Most just add a sub and call it a day with no real focus on SQ. I haven't spent much time on the forum lately, been wrapped up in side projects.

Plus some of those 2SS features are must-haves like the: -Driver’s side auto-dimming exterior mirrors -Heated/cooled front seats and heated steering wheel -Head-up display -Dual-zone automatic climate control -Lane change alert with side blind zone alert -Rear camera mirror -Leather seats; my kid would've dirtied the cloth seats Leaving the audio as the one variable I figured could be dealt with after the fact....

I just installed the AXDSPX-ETH1, and it is way better than taking the Blose output through an Lc7i. Much cleaner signal. I'm still configuring the DSP, but it's great so far. You have to completely disconnect the amp, so you'll need some amps to power the doors, dash, rears, and back deck. You'll also need to pickup an E-123 Metra relay to turn multiple amps on. I originally connected two amps to the remote turn on coming from the AXDSPX, but it couldn't power either one on. Works great with the relay

Can you please upload pics of all your connections to/from the battery? What amps are you running? Does it sound good going thru just the Bose speakers?

Oh no... Another AXDSPX-ETH1 thread coming to a screeching halt. DualSS or Cox, please continue to share on this topic. Don't leave me hanging.
Do you mind sharing the complete install, as I am prepping to pull the trigger on this item myself and could use the insight. Amps, speakers, any other necessary equipment, etc.
