)))Only Stereo Complaint(((
Took car for a drive yesterday,,,,, havent drove it for a month. Cranked up the stereo and really dont see why guys complain about the sound? Now i have added one ten inch woofer and a decent amp. That really rounds out the system for me. The stock bass lacks plenty but the mids and hi range are good once you add a woofer.
My only complaint is the steering wheel controls, i tend to fast forward and rewind alot, and i wish the steering wheel "up and down" button would let me do that. Maybe they did it so you wouldnt drive and hold the button down? But that would be safer then reaching over and doing it on the dash. All in all the car system sounds great, you would be shocked at how much one subwoofer adds to the entire sound. My complaint??????? pretty small compalint at that Regards, paul

I listen to MP3 CDs most of the time and my steering wheel buttons will let me fast forward and rewind. If I tap one, it advances to the next MP3 file in that folder, but if I hold down the button, it rewinds or fast forwards...same way the >> or << buttons do on my portable MP3 player....are you sure you have tried this?
It also works the same way on regular music CDs...

While adding a Sub is great, for alot of us it doesnt solve all the issues. I pulled out the whole Bose shebang and added quality components. Now my Vette sounds like it performs, top notch.IMO

Like they say, "No highs, no low, must be Bose."

I have to admit I have turned on my stereo once or twice just to make sure it was working. I always cruise with the NPP open and to me that is more than enough music for me. However I am glad you found a solution so you can better enjoy your music, nice job.

If I have the top off, I listen to a local radio station that a friend owns.
However, with the top on, I can't hear myself think let alone a radio.
I would also like to add a sub but does it leave room to store the top?
