Wow, nice suggestion.. I've already read various comments about the Boss Bass1200 and nothing but good words about it...

I didn't know it was an option to keep the stock tweeters.. How exactly are tweeters wired..?? Not familiar with this.. I've wired speakers to headunits before but always using 4-way or 5-way speakers directly hooked up to the HU but i've never used tweeters to filter out the high frequencies...

So, if I swap my door speakers, no need to swap the tweeters..?? Some lights on this appreciated...

If you are only changing the door speakers, I believe your wiring adapter should handle the connection to the stock tweets.

I would not recommend using a cheap brand such as cheap in such a nice car. Also I would not recommend using the stock tweeters with any speaker. It would be 100 times better just to use the tweeters that are included in a component set.

:iagree:

Are you talking about the Boss Bass1200..??

So you think I would be better off with the Kenwood I listed on the first post..??

didn't realize that my setup was for a non bose. I am not really sure how the wiring would work as far as adding a powered sub, getting new door speakers/ kepping the tweeters. Listen to these other guys as far as that is concerned. I was just putting in my .02 as far as helping someone out who wanted something simple and cheap for the time being.

One more thing about a powered sub, whether it is the boss, the infiniti basslink, the kenwood you chose, etc. 1. They are easy to remove 2. they take up a small amount of space 3. they are rugged so you can ususally cover them with groceries, suitcases, etc and they wont be harmed. 4. if you ssytem gets stolen, the thief can easily just take your sub and he doesnt have to rip anything out of your car, he can just grab and go. 5. most of those are only 200 bucks, so at worst your out 200.

Will i be switching to a zenclosure box and a nicer sub later, absolutely. But for right now, if you are like me, I promise you will not be dissapointed with a powered sub. For 150-200$, i get good bass from hip hop, rap, and techno and have a durable unit that is easy to move or take out. Also, these powered units wont draw a lot off yor battery.

Yes 100 times better. Anything like boss, pyle, pyramid any of the cheap stuff is not worth even a second look. Do not go cheap.

Can't comment on Boss, never had it. I will say it all depends on your needs and your budget. I must say i've heard lesser priced systems sound good enough for the average person. If you ask someone who has a trained ear or someone who has owned an ideal setup, their opinion is going to be biased. Just as if you have always owned a ferrari, you might consider our cars subpar. In the end whatever brand you go with will definately sound better than the crap that is in it now. Nobody can argue that.

On another note. The system in my car was previously in my 350. The tweets are in a different location and I don't have rear speakers now. I also bought better subs. This system is the best sounding one I've ever owned. In the 350 it was very disappointing. There are many factors that make a system sound awesome. Just keep that in mind.

Does anybody know how much watts RMS are the stock Bose subs..??

I mean, combined or each one..??

That could help on the decision making process.. hehe.. Thanks again!

I have no idea can not be much considering the size of the amp. Keep in mind even aftermarket sub pushing 110 watts is going to sound better than those things.

big,

How is the stock bose sub system, since Im not going to be playing crazy and loud music I was thinking about just purchasing a stock bose sub system and adding new componets? I just want the setup to sound nice in the car nothing like license plate rattling?

Im have a opportunity to purchase just the sub system from some one for a good deal..?

Thanks in advance

Honestly man I would not even give it the honor of calling it a sub nor calling the bose system a system at all. It would not even be that easy to install the bose sub and amp. Plus I am not sure you could even install the bose stuff with a base head unit. Do yourself a huge favor and stop looking at what you could try to do with bose and buy something real.

You paid alot of money to just make the bose audio go bye bye. This is why I bought a base model. I am making brakes, wheels and audio go bye bye and after market say hello!

Man, I have one question about this post...

When you said 110 watts here, did you mean 110W RMS or did you mean 110W max power...??

As in the subwoofer i'm using is the Kenwood KSC-SW10 amp/sub combo. Max power is 150W but the RMS watts will be less of course...

Just wondering... Thanks again for your help..
