Another thing some forget is to turn volume on phone up. My BT music is every bit as loud as usb as radio, but only if phone volume is up....

OP, the Bose speakers are 2 ohms, so you have to be careful when adding aftermarket amps. Some have added a separate sub/amp, which can be done without costing too much, but anything more involved can get costly.

It can be done but not simple. Even the 3LT C6 did not have a rear subwoofer. I find the rear subwoofer in my 3LT and now 2LT C7 very effective. However about 10 to 15% of the >1000 songs from a thumb drive I have playing 95% the time in shuffle mode are too Boomy! Had to lower the volume which defeated my main objective, drowning out the very high tire and road noise! That's with the roof on- seldom drive with it off!
After 4 years of posting the problem, someone showed a way to adjust balance, bass level with a push of a "recall button." Made this pic/text PDF of How To, as just words are difficult to follow, FWIW: http://netwelding.com/Boomy_Bass.pdf

If you just want louder your looking at 7 to 9 channels of amplification needed. Now this could be simplified by just adding power to the right & left dash and door speakers with a 4 channel system.This way you leave everything as is, just add a powerful 4 channel amp that has high level inputs between the factory amp (which is junk) and the factory speakers. It will be louder... but not necessary better given how the Bose amp processes the signal. If you want it done right then you'll have to pretty much gut everything (except the headunit) and start over.
Your budget will determines what route to take.
