Hi bigaudiofanat

What would you suggest as a upgrade to the stock bose Audio system?

Keeping everything looking as stock as possible (would prefer to use the original head unit)

Cheers!

I am now a proud sponsor of Show and Go garage a car show on Crusin 92.1 on Wednesday nights between 9-10. I also will be working on vintage cars and possibly working for other car clubs. Doing everything from car detailing, to fiberglass to remote starts and alarms. Pictures will be taken of every car I do as I have always done including every step of my installs, I hide NOTHING. Also a sponsor in the local magazine Crusin here are some pics of that.

If you want to keep the original head unit use a JBL re-q5 and add all new amps as you can not use new speakers with the bose amp.Than run all new speaker wires to the new speakers. There are a few threads on this search around for more info and if you are in doubt feel free to ask.

Matt,

Had a couple questions, I should be picking up my 2012 base here soon but I've been reading through the audio section to get some ideas. I'm a big home audio guy, mainly 2 channel but I also built up a Rythmik audio 15".

For the Z I would like to replace the head unit, a 5 channel amp and throw in a component set. I'm not sure that I want a sub in the car, but figure a 5 channel amp would allow for easier future upgrading. Having said that, I would like a component set that fills in the bottom end, which you seem to say that the ID CXS64 V2 do nicely. I was looking and noticed that the CXS64 V1? (WoofersEtc.com - CXS64 - Image Dynamics 6.5" 2 Way Component System) seem to play a little lower. I know there are a lot of factors in determining this and specs aren't everything I was just curious if you knew anything about that.

Anyway, here is my list so far, please critique as you see fit:

Head Unit: Pioneer AVH-P4300DVD or Kenwood DDX418
Kinda like the idea of the bigger screen on the Pioneer

Speakers: Really bouncing back and forth on this one between Hertz HSK165, Focal 165V30 and ID CXS64 V1/V2

Amp: Alpine PDX 5

What would a typical install cost me, I know I am leaving other stuff out like wheel controls, spacers, etc.

Today I redid a install on a Subaru Legacy 2010. The system had:

Stock head unit
JBL MS-8
Memphis 6.5 woofers
MB Quartz tweeters
JL amps

The problems:
The previous installer said they could install a MS-8 but had no idea on how to tune it.
The MS-8 was sending out a 1 way full channel setup going to mb quartz crossovers than the signal was going to a second crossover from memphis than to the woofer.

So I ran a new wire straight from the woofers to the JL amp. The tweeters did this as well.

Than I tuned the system running 2 way active and no rears. Sounded pretty good. Customer was happy as well which is what counts.

Now the pics.

I know RIGHT

You could mistake it for the start button.

It is probably part of the ECU located on the right hand side of the car under the kick panel.
