Adding a Bose System
G'day, I am looking at adding a bose system to a 2002 SE I was wondering if someone has done this?, if so was it wearth it?
I know they sound great but I am thinking it would be a pain in the ****..

It would be a pain in the ***... You would need to buy every component (head unit, amp, speakers). The speakers are special-resistance to match the amp. A similar sounding system would not be too expensive.
Also, do the non-Bose Maximas have the tweeter inserts in the A-pillars? All the Max's I've seen have Bose so I don't know that one.

you can still use the steering controls even with an aftermarket HU. the unit costs about $80 USD (www.crutchfield.com).
go to the audio forum... you will get great info there. a search would be verrrrrrrrry helpful.
in addition, the bose is terrible for the $. get aftermarket and spend a similar amount of $. just do not get the bose!

It is cost prohibitive to put bose in afterwards. the cost of the parts are insane. I'm sure a good audio store can help you do what you want with a system. As someone who has never delt with an audio shop I'm not 100% on this.... but I did have a bose in my last car.... 1 speaker and 1 amp went out. it was far cheaper to rip the whole sys out and put in aftermarket stuff. On top of that.. I think the aftermarket stuff sounded As good or better.

I agree with everything else said here--the Bose system royally sucks, short of the headunit. (if you're not an MP3 freak like me who prefers his Alpine MP3-CD headunit)

G'day
I wana thank you all for the posts, I realy apreciate it
I will look into a Alpine head unit and see what I can do about keeping the controls on the steering wheel,
I went to a Audio store here and I was told I was unable to use them but I will see if there is a kit or something,
thanks again for your time, all!!!
