Front components are 6-1/2 to 6-3/4. Rears are 3-1/2. I own a Base model so no Bose sub for me. You should really consider this micro sub as well. I upgraded my Bose to aftermarket on my 350Z and the sub enclosure vibrated/rattled pretty bad at higher volumes with the new sub I added. That poor Bose sub popped and cut off about a quarter of volume on the deck and amp I had installed so I had pretty much no choice but to upgrade the sub. Bose systems cannot handle wattage at all so dont waste your time in keeping any part of Bose in your car if you are upgrading.

A lot of good advice flying around this thread. One thing I can tell you for sure, the bose sub absolutely has to go. that poor thing can barely take the few watts the bose system throws at it.
A hint of what your looking at budget-wise will go a long way to anyone pointing you in any kind of direction. I mean, were looking at many components all of which can run from $100 to well over $1000 each.

ok thank you i would really appreciate it. if this helps out.. im looking for a real crisp clean sound that gives good detail. also some bass would be nice but not over powering to the point were my heart feels like its going to pop out of my chest.. also no car shaking either lol..
also i listen to all types of music but mostly rock, alternative rap hip hop. Last edited by StanceZ37; 12-26-2014 at 04:43 PM. |

Sub enclosure should fit nicely on the parcel shelf behind either seat.
A decent quality 4 gauge amp wiring kit should have everything you need for amp and speaker wiring. You will need to get an extra set of rca cables to run back for subwoofer channels. Most of the newer electronics today are far less likely to leave you with noise issues like they were in the past, and even a set of rca cables at the lower end of the spectrum has adequate shielding against noise induction.

I forgot to mention.... The alpine amp will fit behind the other seat

DB Link makes some reasonably priced 4 gauge amplifier kits,
As for RCA's, scosche, stinger, and monster all make decent sets. Try looking at amazon.... hundreds to choose from, and many reviews to read as well.

For the short runs involved (3-4'), you can go as small as 22 ga with 4 ohm speakers (search for speaker wire sizing for details) but I usually use 14 or 12 ga where space permits. Heavy-duty lamp cord (zip cord) works well and is a lot cheaper than the stuff that is labeled "speaker wire."
