If you were to hear even a cheap aftermarket setup you would simply not be saying what you are saying. "a system that has components an amp and a sub" Simply put bose is junk there speakers are made out of something close to paper just like the factory ones, and the speakers just have to much bass no mids and the tweeters are harsh.
