I completely understand what you mean. I used to have a c5 that had the Bose and it was horrible. After research I found that the only thing that made it bose was 2 out of the 8 speakers in the car.. 2 6" woofers in the door were actually bose brand. All the rest were gm. So my way of getting out of buying the 129$ Bose adapter harness to go aftermarket deck and subs was to simply unhook them. Worked perfect. Remember that if you need to in the future.
Um.. I know what you mean about not needing or wanting crazy loud bass. I will say that this cars trunkspace, or lack there of kind of prevents full advantage of a woofer. My jl is amazing.. But in order to get it into the car trunk without losing space, the box I made had to be so small compared to what the subs requirements are, that it's turned down so low that it's perfect. Nice addition with bass you can easily feel, but nothing more.
Do a search of the guy who put the bazooka in his coupe. Lots of good info on those bass tubes in there. And lots of info on how it sounds. If I remember right, they guy that installed it was wanting the same things you were.
Hope this helps. This car certainly has been more interesting but fun figuring out the normally easy stereo thing. Lol
