Default Bose upgrade/audio help

Need a little advice.

Whats an easy upgrade for the Bose?

I know most, if not all, will advise a whole new unit, but lets say I just want an easy, not too much $$ Xmas project to give the system a little kick?

The simple stuff to do is replace the door 3.5" speakers with coaxials like the Bostons or Infinitys. If you're looking for more bass maybe put something like the JL Stealthbox in the back, which would require an amp to be install.

Here's my take:

Hi Ed,
A simple and very economical solution would be something like this:

Thanks for the input. Where should I mount it? What about just an amp and new door speakers? If so, which amp?

Hi Ed, I've been doin good, been on the road the last few months doin this concert sound thing. This powered subwoofer should do well in the rear of the hatch area in your car. You may want to consider having it mounted so it is easily removed when you track your car. As for going with seperates, There is a ton of good stuff out there and basically limited on what you want to spend. For the money, look at Elemental Designs: http://www.edesignaudio.com/edv2/index.php Pretty good performance at an affordable price! A lot of vette-guys on this forum use this gear. Happy Holidays!
