I'll add this.
I bought my 20 used (2,300 miles) from a deal in New York. I drove it 900 miles home and listened to every Soundgarden album(?) at volume from the start of the trip at 12am. My first thought was that the previous owner changed the speakers, and said so to my wife when we spoke on the phone. I looked when I got it home and was suprised to see they were OE. Recall. I daily drove 16 and 18 2SSes a total if 42,000 miles. I dropped the 18 off (trade) when I picked up the 20.

I’ve been in Porsche, BMW, and Audi convertibles… which sound pretty good. Granted, they’re higher end cars. The way I see it, there’s no reason that a Chevy convertible should sound so feeble / lack power and range in comparison….Other than it’s just not a priority for the bean counters and sound engineers. |

I would suspect nothing changed in the Bose systems since 2016, other than changes necessary to interface with the new infotainment software and hardware. |

I have the Bose 9 speaker setup in my '16 Malibu...it sounds quite good, but I wouldn't call it audiophile quality. Of course if you're listening to FM or lossy MP3s, you're not getting that level of sound quality anyway.
I have the stock stereo in my RS and I have to say the bass is the best I've heard in a stock system, as good as the Bose, as long as the volume is 40% or more. Sound image and upper frequencies are not as good as the Bose. However, the Bose does not sound $750 better than the stock system. I always have CarPlay running so an extra inch of screen doesn't matter with the Bose setup. Honestly though, it's the engine and exhaust notes that matter in a Camaro, especially if you have NPP or aftermarket Borla, Flowmaster, etc. If you want a great stereo in a sporty car, get a GT sedan. |

I optioned for the Tech 3.0 premium Bose.
For audiophiles it’ll be meh. But Im pleased with it. Way better then the 16 ss I had before. The not being able to add a sub woofer with out a hassle is weird. Thats said it bumps pretty good. Personally I opted for the above option because it does all updates OTA. Only time I want to go to the dealer is to pick up new car. SInce I troll receipt of my car in April Ive had two updates I noted. |

JL Audo. They make a nice trunk side bass sub speaker unit that fits in the trunk sidewall on the other side opposite from the battery compartment... completely hidden from view... as well as nice upgraded door speakers and several amp upgrades.
I have the bass sub unit, power amp, and door speakers in mine and it sounds better than any stock stereo setup from Porsche, BMW or LandRover, etc. |
