Ok, so there are lots of complaints about the stock Bose system in the G. Everyone has their preferences about sound and the music they listen to. So what systems/components do you recommend as an "upgrade" for the G?

Details that should be listed include: speakers (sizes/locations), amps, wiring, accessories, etc. and recommended install shops (if not DIY)

Photos of upgrade components and installs aren't necessary, but definitely appreciated by all.

 

Agreed. I actually have something to contribute when I can find it.

 

Alright speaker sizes.. I did some research on the forums and some are listed incorrectly..

Door panel speakers
1x 1" Tweeter
1x 3" Mid Range
1x 10" Woofer

Rear Passenger speakers
2x 3" Mid Range

Rear Deck speakers
6"x9" Speakers

DIY is easy as long as you have a guide to follow such as "Door Panel Removal" and swapping speakers using the factory amp is easy to do.

 

I switched out the door panel tweeters (forgot which brand), and added two punch 10" woofers in the trunk.

 

I believe that adding punch subwoofers (1 or 2) in the truck would definitely be beneficial for rich bass. So what the thoughts are so far is that it's just the speakers that need to be replaced. Is the power capacity of the stock system is sufficient? Would additional amplification be preferable?

 

i think i've heard enough people complaining about the Bose sound system, what I want to hear is what people upgraded to...

 

So u can just get a 3' tweet and replace the factory from the door panel? Straight plug using the stock bose amp? Works good? What omhs were those tweeters u got?

 

That's exactly what this thread is supposed to be about. Post up what upgrades / switch outs have been done to the G's audio system. Add pictures too!

 

Alpine 6.5" replaced the 10" woofer (custom placed)
Alpine 6x9" rear deck
Alpine 10" Type R Subwoofer

Gotta find some 3" woofers and 1" tweets also.

 

Just to clarify, I think I remember there being 2 options for the sound system. I know that I have the Bose system in my car, is that the upgraded option when buying the car or is that stock?

 

I just added 2 10" alpine type R and an alpine mrp m1000 amp and it pounds in a bassworx box. U need the angled box cause our trunks are small and say good bye to ur trunk. Lol I can barely fit a jug of oil now. IMO it's worth it if u like the bass!!! It's my summer car so I don't care for trunk space. That's what the back seats are for.

 

i did a full install replacing the speakers and adding some REAL subs, and about 3000 watts. check it out here:

Are there any direct swaps available for the subwoofers that you can simply put in place of the old Bose ones? I don't want to put anything in the trunk as my coupe is my day to day and the trunk is already full of other stuff.

 

Go big or go home!

 

bose is the upgraded sound system
