AviatorVette

hi guys, I have a used C5 VETTE it has the stock bose speakers with an aftermarket Kenwood headunit... the speakers sound like **** there is ZERO bass even when I put the bass level on fulll. I heard that u need a converter of some sort to plug in the bose subwoofers ( located in the front?) I need more help on this. Can someone provide me a link where to buy the SVEN2+Harness ( this is all i need right ? ) ? Do I have to install them myself?? Is it simple. Do you guys think I should just get a converter or just spend more money and get a amp + sub installed? I'm not looking to spend too much money.. MAX 100-150 as I am going to be selling this car in a year and dont wanna spend too much on modification.. I listen to trance/house/hip hop so I need good thump in the car, there is absolutely no bass in my car. My friends Pontiac Grandprix with stock speakers has good bass.

will sound good, personally get a sven2 and ditch the 60 dollar harness and splice into a few wires, do a google search sven2

as i said get the sven2 and wire it urself, the svhgm4 is hit or miss. otherwise get a soundgate gmcrv2

I'm a complete noob at electronics.. Can you guide me a little bit? I dont know how to wire the stuff myself using just the sven2... wats the diff between the soundgate gmcrv2 and then sven2 which i listed?

Factory unit was replaced with an Alpine 9886 and has the satilite and Ipod all hooked up to it as well as a small sub. I have the Polk audio 3.5 speakers in the door panels with the Bose woofers and polk 5.25 in the rear.The install went great and the system falls alittle short of what I really want as far as sound quality.The Bose woofers I think are a little muddy so I may just replace them with a pair of good quality aftermarket speakers and an amp.In general the system sounds better with the Alpine head unit.

where the bose subs located at? also is it sensible to buy the link i listed.. I know u suggest that I just get the sven2 but how hard it to wire it without the harness.. Also can I add an after market amp / sub later to the stock speaker setup.

get soundgate gmcrv2 that svhgm4 harness is hit or miss

Get the SVEN2 like pentavolvo said. He knows what he's doing and helped me with my install. I was in the same boat as you, but the wiring is really easy. Here's the thread: http://forums.corvetteforum.com/audi...-silly-me.html

In terms of spending more money on a setup, that's your choice. Alot of people complain about the Bose speakers + subs being poop, but they are just fine with me. Do the SVEN2. Configure the bass from the radio, then make your own decision from there.
