No but I'm anxiously awaiting hearing how\what people have done to make the bose system better in the 2LT!

I've searched all the posts and other listings on the web.

Here's a bump to the top for you

I fussed around w/the Bose on my C7, and remember running into a few problems matching the speaker ohms as many of them were 2 ohms. Not sure about the C8, but just note that the Kicker door sub is 4 ohms, which might not work. Hopefully someone else will chime in…

Edit: here a related speaker link: https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...akers-yet.html

BOSE has a proprietary sound system. When I made a few changes to the sound system on my C7, it required the wiring schematic to make the changes work with BOSE. It is not just a universal plug and play system.

The Kicker's are dual driver, so you can make them 2/4/8 Ohm speakers. But if they don't fit, that won't matter much.
Thanks!

Stock system kicks so hard in my car the door panels look like they will shake apart. Not sure I would do more bass.

Subbed. People who think the low end is fine on the C8 are either delusional or not listening to a broad enough assortment of music styles.
