Bose?

flynn · 12-20-2007, 04:28 PM

Well, I'm a sucker for anything Bose. When I found out that it was available in some GPs, I had to have it.
Now for the ? part.
Will a Bose system mount up, with minor modification, to my 97 coupe?

If your getting the Bose system that was designed for the grand Prix, it should work, however you are going to need all the harness' that go along with it, as well as the amp thats in the trunk.

i have it in my car. it sounds really good, however sounds good and loud are not the same thing. the stock amp is only something stupid like 70 watts and the speakers only have 1 ohm going to them..mine does not phase out or anything though, it sounds fantastic, just lacks volume.

I love my music loud, and I never knew how lacking the volume was on a Bose system until I bought the 2000 Daytona GTP for Sheryl. My 2001 GTP received two 10" Alpine Type R's hooked up to a 400 watt Rockford Fosgate amp as soon as I bought it, and been driving with that for the last 5 years. It has great sound quality and quantity. Hits about 126db on the meter.

You guys are insane. My ears are ringing sometimes when I get out of the GTP and have had the music up a bit for an extended period of time.

For the time and money you would be better off with an aftermarket radio. Getting the harnesses and rerunning the wires would be a pita.

A Pita?
I don't understand your young, hip lingo. Now GET OFF MY LAWN, damn whippersnappers!

PITA= pain in the ass. If you are interested I have all the rear speakers, HU, and amp from a bose system.

Nothing is as good as Bose in my opinion. My speakers hit just as hard as some people's aftermarket subs. Not to mention it sounds a hell of alot better.

Bose was good years ago when people were looking for good sound, since then they really havn't developed better than the competition, for me they are overpriced and overhyped, I've heard some good systems and Bose was never one of the better one's to me.

I'll be taking out my Bose Headunit also here shortly...
