What to know about Bose

As with most of you I found the Bose intolerable.
I don't have the time e or desire to do the work. Myself so I went to California Custom Sounds in Dayton, OH. . I left the factory nav and head unit in place. Everything else was stripped out. I wanted my spare tire so we used a Cerwin Vega shallow mount sub, created a fiberglass enclosure and a new rear deck that raises the platform of the trunk by 1.5". That is enough space to allow the sub to be a flush install. Also made enough room to put the main amp, sub amp and eq in the rear deck and completely concealed. Components include
Audio control LC8i
Linear power LP 2250
Blues Audio 6.5
RF punch P300
Cerwin Vega Stealth 12

Everything works as new, no hassles, looks like nothing happened except a discrete sub in the middle of the deck.
I expect I will replace the head unit down the road, but for now I am very pleased.
I will post pics in a bit
