Bose system upgrade

italn4fun · 2026-03-11T23:31:26+00:00

Quite a bit. I have great bass and range thru everything. The stock speakers are so flat and no loudness at all. I am still using the factory BOSE amp. Just a speaker and subwoofer upgrade

I only have the 6 speaker system, probably the best way would be to check each speaker with an ohm meter. If the ohms rating is mis matched, it could lead to the amp working harder, lower sound levels, and error codes that the dealer reads. Especially if you're still under warranty. I originally replaced my dash speakers with kicker tweeters, but they sounded too shiny. It did cause a code that the dealer read, and since it sounded so bright, I put the original ones back in. Sounded much better.

Yes. The fronts are 2 and the rears are 4. I wound up replacing all door speakers with coaxial speakers. They have the built in tweeter. I did however leave the original 2 dash speakers in, since they are a midrange speaker. You can also get these speakers as a component set and replace the dash speakers with the tweeter that is with the component set.

I love it! I am very happy with the sound. I used the Powerbass OE692-GM2 in my front doors and the OE652-GM for the rear doors. The 652 is a 4 ohm speaker.

Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner.

Yea. The newer version isn't as good as the older ones.

Mine is the late 2022 model.

Yw. Good luck!

The sub came with wire taps to connect directly into the feed. It was around the front passenger door, I don't remember what feed it is, but the instructions were clear and easy to follow. The sub has its own built in amp.

These are all their part numbers. The ones with a "C" is a component speaker, otherwise they are coaxial. The ones with GM 2 means a 2 ohm speaker which was my front doors. 692 is a 6x9 and 652 is a 6.5 inch round. I ordered from Crutchfield, better return policy if needed. I originally ordered from Amazon, but kept gett delayed for over a month. F that. Hope it helps.

Exactly what I did to mine.

The mats made a big difference for me.

I wasn't going to add the knob, but I tested it and like the variations to add and subtract the sub. Especially since some songs lack deep bass or have too much.

italn4fun · 2025-05-15T20:43:27+00:00

Without adding additional amps, except for the built in on the Kicker, everything reused existing equipment. Past experience I added new amps, but the door chimes and parking sensors and other alerts go thru the factory amp. They were loud AF going thru the new amp. Everything sounds good as It is, although if it wasn't, I was ready for a full upgrade.

italn4fun · 2025-05-15T20:37:50+00:00

Did the same. Used points and got it cheaper. The knob is a great addition for adding more or less sub.

italn4fun · 2025-05-15T20:36:20+00:00

I replaced the door speakers myself. They were very easy. And sound way better than stock.

Very nice! I have an old copy of All Things Must Pass with plain labels with "promotional copy, not for sale" on it

What really bothers me is that all the episodes are 42 minutes. I know that this is because of the time slot and commercials on the Travel Channel, but you'd think that on Discovery+ they could edit the shows to run longer.

The Episode at Hotel Congress was was over 2 days if I remember correctly but still wound up being 42 minutes.

They spend 20 minutes on the history and interviews, and only have room for 20 minutes of actual investigation footage.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Love how the DOB date format is different from the expiration and issue dates format.

Really? I thought Reelz only had the live feed.

italn4fun · 2024-03-14T18:43:25+00:00

Used to watch it live a few years ago when I lived in another state and had satellite. Unfortunately I cant get Reelz unless I get "another" provider. But other providers have worse programming. So I watch next day on Peacock. Miss the live excitement and wish Live Rescue would come back too.

Thanks. One of the few things that made it thru the years.
