Replaced mid-range speakers in Bose system
Decided to go with the new Helix Precision P203 component speakers. At first, I had installed one new speaker to compare the sound. The stock speaker sounded like from the *** comparing to the new one
OK, now I think I have the sound scene, that I want with the MB Quard RTC-19 tweeters:
But I think the center channel ruins the stereo-effect, doesn't it? Maybe it would be better to cut it off? Or my audio-electrician can make it -2db (less louder), what do you think?

Will replacing just mids with everything else OEM really improve the sound? I think the stock Bose is OK but it doesn't sound nearly as good as the Klipsch system I have hooked up to my computer. I wouldn't rip out the whole system but if changing 2 speakers improved sound I might give it a shot.

What size are the mids that you are using to replace the Bose speakers with? Did you use a separate amplifier or use the stock one? I have been thinking about replacing the speakers but worried that it wouldn't make a difference. I wasn't sure if the sound was equalized before it got to the speaker. The Bose sound seems very flat and I'm looking for something with a bit more top end.

Yes, it really has improved the top end mid's. And Bose amp splits left and right channel to the center speaker to improve the sound scene, but it ruins someway the stereo effect... I think, I'm gonna make it -1db or -2db.
Also, I'm thinking about the crossover for the mid's to cut them at 4000-5000Hz, as they receive the same signal as tweeters (stock tweeters have built-in crossover).

First of all it's a '07 G35x sedan (premium/navi/tech). Though I don't think the BOSE system is really much different from the coupe.
The numbers I gave are for the stock BOSE components (tested with an electrician tool).

Bose speakers and amplifiers have a tendancy to be different than normal speakers and amplifiers because the system is designed to work together. Once you replace one of the components(speakers in this case) you may need something else to adjust volume levels or frequency response.
