I have a C-6 with the bose system, For me it does not have enough base or volume no matter how I set it up! How difficult is it too change out everything but the head unit as this has the Nav system. and does any one have the schematic for this car? any help would be great!

look in the audio/electronics section in the general tab, lots of useful info and sticky faq's up top. I just replace all my speakers, added a JL stealthbox and 5 channell amp, kept the stock NAV deck. Its not hard, just time consuming. Took myself and a friend about 6 hours to do, and we have installed stereos professionally for about 15 years each.

I installed an Alpine PDX 4.150 in the rear cubby, and replaced the stock 3.5" and 5.25" with BAs. I posted about it in the audio section, with pics.

The simplest thing is to add a self-amplified subwoofer, there are many brands and they are easy to install. I have a Bazooka. Probably $200 or so installed and you may well be satisfied.

This is my old one that blew out after maybe 10 years and 4 or so vehicles:
