You'll love this from the BOSE® site:
3. Why can’t I get a list of technical specifications?
Because our custom-engineered, complete system solutions largely supersede conventional audio measurements. Even some basic building blocks have been redefined -- including amplifiers, speakers and equalizers. But most importantly, everything is integrated and works together for results that vary significantly from those provided by conventional systems made up of individual, unmatched components. For example, with a Bose automotive system the location and design of the speakers can be much more important factors in determining the output than the wattage power rating. The bottom line? The best tests of a Bose system’s sound quality aren’t a list of specifications, but your ears.

My ears told me that the Bose speakers in my car were pieces of shit and combined with the amp, they made a whole turd
The superiority of their products will be much clearer once you read this too: http://www.bose.com/products/auto/faq.html

Because I listen to rock, alternative and punk rock I don't require BASS that unscrews license plate frames. I believe the Bose system is fine...could go a tiny LOUDER thats all. But on the whole...I am satisfied.

trying to get a lil V-I
distortion on the stock speakers come in real early on the volume dial. It just can't handle majority of the R&B/Hip Hop/Dance/Trance I listen to. Adding the 10" Rockford in the trunk did help tremendously.
I like how Bose recommends music to play w/ their speakers. It's like they are suggesting the entire world to listen to the same crap they listen to...

I would like to add a sub to my system. How did you wire it?
Its been said over and over "Bose no highs - no lows."

About the best mod you can do for the stock system. A single 10 or 12 plus some dynamat. Will make most people happier.
Replace eveything if it is worth it to you.

5. If my Bose music system is so advanced, why doesn’t it have lots of buttons, dials, and other controls?
Because we engineer our systems to put the technology on the inside, not on the outside. When you’re driving, you don’t really want to spend time and concentration adjusting lots of controls to fine-tune your car’s music system, do you? The important thing to understand is that what looks simple on the outside is actually much more complex within. With a Bose automotive music system, the tweakings and fine-tunings necessary for high-fidelity sound all take place inside the system. For example, even a simple adjustment of the volume control releases a symphony of changes, as Bose patented signal processing automatically re-creates natural tonal balance at the new volume level. You’re left free to hear -- and enjoy -- the music, without having to make the many adjustments required for high-fidelity sound yourself.
Because they dont want you to blow there $h!tty @$$ speakers that they have.

I think that the stock system sound okay. I haven't had any distortion problems but I don't generally go in for super-heavy bass music. hhmmm...now that I think about it, a little more bass would be nice. It outperforms my last Prelude's system though.

25 x 4. 100 watt bose stock on my 2001 type s. Honestly, i don't understand what all the fuss is about. The high's and low's in the system are much better than other cars in our class. the BMW that my girl used to drive sounds like shit compared to mine, and she has a premium sound package. In Audi's, bose has three different classes, (syphony,concert, and standard). If you need more bass, add a sub. dynamat the car and you'll be fine.
, and the system response is pretty flat too.

If you've ever had a really clean aftermarket system, you can never go back. The BOSE system probably is one of the better stock systems around, but I've had good aftermarket systems for a long time and everytime I listen to a BOSE system it sounds like shit. It doesn't matter what music you listen to or how loud - the bose system sounds like it goes from 200hz - 12,000khz or something like that, and it sounds muffled. listen to the same music with a clean head unit, clean amps and good speakers and you'll know what I'm talking about.
I know this is an old thread brought back but my girl just got her 2004 CLK 500 last week and the BOSE system sucks ass to me - but she's fine with it.
