Bose Audio Upgrade - Page 2

Nice! I haven't seen anyone try and upgrade the bose speakers using the stock amp. Glad its working good, I got a w6v2 here from like ten years ago I want to install since I have it already. But I've read the sub won't sound good unless I get the nav tv, i miss the good old days when i could just throw an Alpine head unit in and have an amazing clean signal. Got a jl mono block 1000 and 2 w6v2s sitting in my basement since like 2005 lol

TY, this is great info for 19-up owners who still don’t have a proper DSP converter available for a full system. Cheap, easy, and a good improvement over stock, great job.

What sub box is that? I can’t seem to find it.
Thanks

I recently picked up a full BOSE speakers take off from a 2ss. With out changing the stock AMP should I hear much of a difference?..the only thing I did so far was put two 12 " kickers and a AMP for them in the trunk,and bass control knob. Hopefully the BOSE makes a improvement .

I bought the box and harness from ********.

Why does it always get blocked out? I guess they edit any vendors out who's not paying to the forum.

For me, the Bose sounds good enough.

I agree 100%. I drive with the windows down as much as possible so that I can enjoy the exhaust symphony.

They probably have the low end rolled off around 150 Hz or so, as that goes mostly to the doors.
The coaxials in the rear position might liven up the sound a bit, as often the tweeters are the most sensitive driver in aftermarket combos. Clearly a big difference using a 1" driver crossed over in a 2-way vs. a single 5" driver.

Well I tried the infinity speakers on my 2019 Bose system and I’m not getting the result you say you got, I haven’t did the sub yet but that won’t change the highs anyway. Maybe the 2019 Bose is different then yours? .do you have a pic of your Bose amp and speakers you took out? so I can compare with what I have.

None of the speakers in the car are seeing a full range signal from the Bose Amp
