Upgraded 2002 Stock Bose System
I'm not a audio nut so my knowledge of car stereo systems is far from extensive. With that said, I'm wondering if a can blow my speakers just by turning the volume way up. If so/not what is the maximum volume the system will go. Thanks!!!

Listen, after dropping $25,000 for a car the last thing I want is to buy better stereo system so I can have some thing "COOL" that vibrates quarters on my hood. I was just curious if anyone knew the approximate max volume of the stock system so I wouldn't blow my speakers.

The best way is to make it a try... slowly raise the volume, and as soon as you get distortion, stop, roll back a bit, and that's it, the highest point...
Also, beware of sound level when playing a ripped cd (such as MP3 playbacks). Sudden changes in sound levels could lead to speakers blowing out in a fraction of a second.....
Good luck!!!

Most of the people here upgrade their stereo for sound quality, not to bass out neighborhoods and definitely not to be 'cool'. The Bose system is a piece of junk to anyone who is the slightest audiophile, if you're not one, more power to you.

you thought Bose was top sound system?
thats the first thing i asked the sales man when i bought my car.. does it have bose? he said no.. sorry.. i said great!!! he said.. you are the first person i have seen excited about not getting bose..
why?
because if i wanted good sound i wouldn't waste my money on bose
Bose = caca dodo

seriously...bose is definatly adequate for most of the consumers..it does have a subwoofer..for some extra kick..but if your wanting to roll your windows down..turn up the music and drive..the bose wont quite do that for you. But if your a commuter and like a little music..its a nice upgrade. But otherwise throw it out!

I have a Maxima 2000 with a Bose system, I upgraded my stock deck to an mp3 deck and upgraded the woofer to a 12" JL. The Bose actually sounds really nice without any other mods. In my opinion, all you need is to upgrade the subwoofer.

For the kind of music I listen to, the Bose suits my needs. It hits hard when it needs to and the highs are fine. Except for the occasional rattle in the subwoofer, everything else is fine. I guess it all depends on the kind of music you listen to (sometimes)

I've had the same problem with the rattling, esspecially with the upgraded subwoofer. I found out that the center seat belt box that houses the actual seat belt is causing the rattling. If you stick your head in the trunk and look upward torward where your subwoofer box is you'll see this white plastic box sticking downward. I have heard that if you open it up and stick foam inside that will solve the problem but I haven't had time to try it yet. If any if you has any questions on your audio system I can try to help. I do not know too much but I'll be glad to tell you what I do know. My AIM nick is GiantRoastDuck.

My previuos vehicle was a 2000 gmc sierra where the world is open to upgrade the system....After mods it was a better system than my bose system in my 2k2 max.....
Each speaker in the 2k2 maxima bose system is self amplified; thus not a good idea to upgrade speakers or amplify them EXCEPT ADDING A SUBWOOFER.... if you are satisfied with the bass response then leave the system alone. I don't care for the bose sub... I am not into deep base but would like something tighter in response; so my system was outfitted with an Infinity self-powered/contained system. After reducing the bass response on the bose and adjusting levels on my new enclosure it is almost as nice as my previous system!
so there!

Ahh, there you are.
Also take note that when you listened to it, the link was only at 1/3rd gain and +1 boost.
That thing can get *very* loud for what it's worth.
C'mon, get rid of those heavy subs and lighten up!

That basslink sounded much better than I expected it to, especially for the price. I'm still trying to decide of I wanna get rid of my amp and earth-shaking jl 15W3. If I did, I'd lose a ton of weight. So when judging the Bose, I guess you should 'weigh' your options .

Ethan - i could have told you MB Quartz and sh!tty Rockfords wouldn't sound any better than bose.. just because its big brand doesn't mean it sounds good.. try Diamond Audio next time

Hm... it's definitely a bose speaker, I have a bose woofer, a bose deck from the factory, I also had someone check. It's definitely a bose system. It would not make sense to have a bose deck from the factory and a bose stock woofer and non bose speakers. Even the amp I have in the back (stock) says bose.

How does your new headunit sound with the Bose speakers? Do you have a pic of the headunit, dash? Thanks.

After I replaced the stock deck with a Kenwood MP3 / CD player everything sounded much cleaner , the Bose speakers are still drawing power for the stock amp, the only thing the deck is providing is the signal. I'll go take a picture and send it to you. What's your e-mail address?

Thanks a million. My email address is Gschawla@hotmail.com.
BTW, What kinda adapter did you need? I'm assuming you used a single din HU. If so, how did you fill in the rest of the gap?
