I really liked how the stock Bose system on the 2000's sounded but it just did not have enough bass.
I added a small amp and bass today and it really put the finishing touch on the sound system.
Kicker amp and Kicker comp subwoofer.
I was able to leave the Bose Subwoofer intact.

I left the Bose 9" woofer hooked up for months. A couple weeks ago I took it out and I think it sounds better.

Black TL

Please provide some details on your setup. Cost, wiring, dealer or home install. Sounds
like a nice way to add some juice without going overboard. Where did you purchase your components, and why did you decide on this setup?

Thanks
