Worked on a 2005 G55 AMG, did a full paint correction and fixed a audio install as well.

The bad install


They installed a 5.25 in place of a 6.5 opening, not even using a spacer ring.


Soldered the wires


New speakers installed


The same for the other side




Clayed fallowed by swirl and haze remover, fine machine polish, and wax

Have you done any installs in the touring models that have BOSE? I see youv'e done several in base models but mine has BOSE and just wondering if it'll sound better/worse or the same using the stock speakers. Thanks

May want to read up on this,

What to know about Bose

I have done 2 370z bose systems and a few in other cars.

It is going to sound a little better with a new head unit however your not going to be able to power them from your head unit, you will have to let the bose amp do that.

Brian I have seen this a lot, where the antenna output of the pioneer does not supply enough voltage to turn on the powered antenna in some cars. The best way to wire the antenna adapter is to wire it to the REM or remote output of the radio instead.

Alpine CDA 9886
XM mini tuner
Alpine KTP amplifier
JL Audio Slash V2 amplifier
Infinity Reference 6022i speakers
JL Audio CP108LG subwoofer
I would recommend you get a full component set or a set of tweeters with crossovers. The stock crossovers are not going to help very well with a new set. And replacing the entire woofer and tweeter set would be the best way to go.
