[QUOTE="UptownTahoeNYC, post: 8764771, member: 684029"] hello all, came across the forum looking for information about upgrading a system. i dont really know anyone with musical knowledge in reference to cars to ask and found this site. i have a 2004 chevy tahoe LT with the BOSE onstar system. while its relatively loud...i want it louder but clear if that makes sense. i still want the base, but i want to have a system where the songs sound clear at the new loud and dont distort. ive heard systems of what i would like but never have the chance to ask the owner. this is what i want: louder than the bose system clarity but also have a bigger sound and base quality but dont need high end showroom or competition level. speakers, amp, wiring, subwoofer. not a giant box thing in the trunk i need the space but moderate box is cool. i use my car alot for work and drives, and i want that loudness. can someone point me in the right direction in terms of brands/models that would meet what i want? ive read that some of the stuff local shops offer is overpriced/overated like kicker/JL. im willing to go with lesser known brands if i can get what i need if i can find the installer. or perhaps order all the equipnent i want and have a shop install. im honestly scared of installing something thats worse than the bose system already in there. i got quoted for a kicker system 1200. if i can keep it around that more or less would be good. 1500 good enough? also does the head unit matter? i replaced the stock one with a pioneer one that has bluetooth. no screen but good enough for what i wanted. thanks in advance.
