Well ive got my new Pioneer DEH-P7700MP deck and sirius satellite unit installed. It made the factory Bose speakers come alive. Everyone swears i have a 10 in the trunk. Hell...it even rattles my outside mirrors quite a bit. To all those that say the factory Bose is crap, im defenitely going to argue with you. Very happy so far in my setup. Starting on my box tomorrow hopefully, I just got my sheets of MDF tonight.

 

have you ever taken a look at the actual speakers themselves? they are made of cardboard :X
Yes they will sound great now but as those speakers were not designed to be putting out that much power they will eventually go bad on you. Save up and get new speakers im doing my boston acoustics setup one step at a time

 

yeah, i know they will eventually crap out on me...but until then...ill have plenty of time to save for a new set later down the road.

 

i dont know man.. ive had my shit in my car for over 2 years now and i bump on a regular.. well i did until last week... i sold my trunk setup.

 

i agree with wilp my back 6x9 are still in good shape after my 2 15" kicker solos L7 shoook them up, they still workin on me and plus also the ones on the front, my whole car shakes wen i have that shit on. im hitting 144 db on my car (that was with old box hopefully wen i get done with my trunk setup hope fully it hit a bit more.

 

my homeboy who has a s-10 with the l7 15's hit in the 150's but he's got two teranchula monoblocks (bout 4k watts each) pushin them. i only hit 131 db w my p3's

 

yea he probably should he has 2 very gud amps. I only have a kicker zr 1000 pushing the both of them and i dont think i need any louder for my car.

 

The Bose speakers are okay but I just dont know any different. I've been looking to replace my rear 6x9's. I heard it's realllly complicated to replace Bose speakers because of something about Bose amplifier. I have a Sony Xplod deck and an amp w/ a couple free channels. Would it be cool to just swap out the 6x9's or is there more to it?

 

I love my Bose system in my TL...

BTW, where in Arkansas are you from 97RedCL?

 

batesville....sort of north central

 

Damn i thought if i wanted a diff head unit i had to replace all my speakers.

also my rear right speaker has no sound to it, i belive its something to do with my amp but im not sure, anyone have any ideas on how to check it out.
