[QUOTE="boomgoesthedynamite, post: 8665939, member: 676323"] I just ordered a new 2019 Camaro convertible. I expect it to be delivered sometime early April. I've been lurking and planing my replacement for the stock Bose system. I was much more into car audio 15-20 years ago. I built a relatively modest system into my last car about 8 years ago so I'm a bit rusty trying to get back into this. I'm aiming to pick and have my gear arrive prior to delivery so that I can get right to work on upgrade prior to convertible weather. The Camaro's Bose system uses MOST50 which is kind of convenient... I think. Looking to use the [URL="https://axxessinterfaces.com/product/AX-DSP-MOST1"]AX-DSP-MOST1[/URL] from Axxess. It comes with the T-harnesses and modules necessary to bypass my stock Bose amplifier right in the trunk but retain all of the factory "goodies" like screen, nav, car play, microphones, chimes etc. I'm eyeballing the Hertz ESK[SIZE=10pt] 165.5's for my front stage with the tweets going into the factory locations. I can put the crossovers in the trunk and feed power back up the stock wires at the T harness. I know, better wires would definitely be advised but I'm really not keen on hacking up my door plugs this round. Do you think it will be that bad with factory wires?
