Default Best Stereo

Have Standard Base Radio Package on my 07 C6. Not happy. The Radio in my C5 was great. Any suggestions what to change to Don't need the GPS I have a NUVI. ?

You didn't indicate whether you had the blows or base unit.

I've heard the base is a lot better actually which is what mine has.

I think the base unit is ok but really needs better speakers. I blew mine out already. They sound like they're spitting at me.

I lived with my Bose for about a year and a half. Boy did I hate that system. I just got finished putting in a whole new system. Now it sounds great.

Default Look at the Audio Discussion Thread

Sound system performance is a regular complaint about the C6. Look the this discussion thread:

http://forums.corvetteforum.com/zeroforum?id=20

It confirms your displeasure about the sound systems and provides lots of options from simply replacing the speakers to swapping out everything with a after market system. It all depends on how much $$$.

I disagree, if we're talking about the same thing? Every time I read a forum member complaining about their Bose, I think that the '06s and '07s must have a downgraded version.

My '05 1sb C6 vert with the nav 1cd player Bose system sounds absolutely great. I'm a professional musician who's day job is running a music studio, and in my opinion it couldn't sound better. The base is so strong though, I EQ it to the negative a couple points. Of course, all this is dependent on the actual quality of source.
