I find audio upgrades funny, especially on a car with a sound system as good as a G. I usually tend to be really very picky about sound quality (speakers for my TV, headphones, etc.), but I find the Bose speakers to be quite nice. The volume and bass both go way louder than I'll ever think to go to, and the quality--while it isn't the absolute best thing that exists--is top notch. Maybe upgrades could make things slightly improved, but I couldn't see it being worth any time or money. Then again, to each his own, but it just doesn't really make sense to me.

i prefer dynaudio over boston any day. to be honest i wasnt very impressed by boston when they did a demonstration for me. the only product i really like are there oval shaped subs (forgot the model). if it were me id go rainbow, dynaudio, or focal for sure. with the dyn and focal put a nice 3 way set up in factory locations FTMFW! the rockford 360 is nice but after usin both that and the audiocontrol, id take audiocontrol any day over the RF360. stinger aftermarket batts are good too!

HAHA...I was out of it for like 6 yrs and was lost until I got back into it again. Must be like learning a new language to you! LOL Honestly, the main differences between then and now is amp output and DSP. Other than that, HU have actually gotten worse with quality of signal output and speakers are speakers!

If it has no high's and no low's then it must be Bose.
Bose is junk and for most consumers, it sounds better than what they have at home. IMHO
Tube amps are the best but damn they're expensive.
If I had the money, McIntosh all the way.

In my wife's car, all components are Focal 165 KPS and love them but I want more power this time.
Koelzmod, I'm only replacing the speakers in the door and deading the rest of them. And being at 150watt rms each, it's sufficiant, the bass will fill up the car.
With 3Sixty's timealignment, I will be in the center of it all.

If you like distortion and altered sound. Amps should be only a gain stage and not alter the sound from its original intended source.

Well, I've heard lots of custom audio systems in cars, but none of them sounded as good as the Bose. The only benefits of the ones I have personally seen were that they went disgustingly loud. I guess they sound better at super loud volume, but they were nothing special at normal volume. The Bose is not as good as my sound system in my home (I would never buy Bose speakers or headphones), but it's pretty much the best thing that I've heard in a car. Maybe you are going for a sound system for a different reason than the people who owned the ones I've seen, it's just that from my experience I've never seen anything else than people only trying to make their music retardedly loud.
