Car stereo question....Need advice please.
I stopped at a local audio shop today and asked about the factory Bose system. I asked questions, such as: can I replace the stock CD changer, or add or replace speakers, or add a sub-woofer for better sound? They answered "no" to all of those. They said each Bose speaker is (self-amplified?) and that all the components (head-unit, the 4 speakers, and the CD changer) are all made to work with each other. They said you can't add or exchange these parts at all. Is this true? They also quoted me a price to replace everything (Alpine head-unit, 4 speakers, sub-woofer, and amplifier) for around $ 1,900. Is this pretty good? Need help guys.
Thanks.
Thanks.

There are some modifications you can easily make to your Bose system : Add a subwoofer, change the midrange speakers, add tweeters. You cant't change the 8 disk CD player if you keep the Delco/Bose head unit. Check the Audio forum for some good how-to info from 99HT.
