Bose amp replacement for C6?
I was reading in some other thread where somone had replaced the Bose amp in his C6. What is that? Is it an improvment (What am I saying? Anything would be an improvment.). Anyone have any links, experience?

You're probably seeing someone who installed an aftermarket amp & speakers but kept the factory head. The Bose amp is about the size of 2 decks of cards and you're simple not going to find an aftermarket replacement that's a direct swap.

Even if it's possible I'm not sure what it would gain you. In this instance size definitely matters and replacing it would likely net you no more than a lateral move. Then you combine the reality that the problem with the system is a combination of the amp & speakers and not just one or the other.... give this a read if you haven't seen it before. I wrote it up about a year ago to keep from having to repeat myself.

That being said, a decent replacement board with a better range for the high freqs and an ambient noise sensor would be quite a coop. And I am not completely convinced that a decent amp (not high powered) wouldn't improve the bass.
