[QUOTE="trumpet, post: 8201963, member: 628688"] When it comes to speakers, Bose is all about "different". Is it great, or even just good? Well, you're here asking about improving it. As people on this forum are learning more all the time, I'm a big fan of 3-way front speaker systems. I'm not sure I'd be able to source a shallow 8" woofer for your doors, but I can definitely do a 6.5" or 6.7" woofer for midbass. Then I would have you fit a 3" midrange in the other door location, and add a small tweeter either high on the door panel or in the sail panels, or place imaging tweeters at the upper corners of the windshield firing down to the center of the dash. You would get much more realistic midrange and treble, and that really helps to make the music come alive. Depending on the output from your factory amplifier, you likely would also need a processor to Un-EQ the audio signal and then "massage" it to sound better. Put a good 2-way amplifier on top of that and you're on your way to a killer upgrade package. [/QUOTE]
