What are the cheapest speakers you can buy that will sound better than a bose system? No sub, just speakers.

Just about anything. Other than those flea market brands, like Rockwood and Kenford, lol.

Seriously though, if it's $30 or more, it's probably better quality. It will really depend more on your HU and/or amp (if you are installing one).

$30? Why so cheap? Isn't bose like an $800 upgrade? How good are stock speakers compared to bose?

bose in all honesty is ****. if you wanna spend minimum money and still have descent sound pick up some pioneer or alpine coax or components if you want cleaner sound.

Everyone on here is correct. Bose leaves a ton to be desired. However, many people love their Bose systems and should be left alone in their altered reality. I mean...if you like the way it sounds then why change it?

In reality, you do have to spend a little more than $30 on speakers to get a better sound than the Bose system. You still need to consider the quality and layout of the install as well as amplification, source unit, etc.

But assuming you can do a competent install, you don't have to spend much at all to get better SQ than the Bose system.

Are we talking Bose or Clarion I would have to agree with everyone. You wouldn't have to spend much at all to get better audio than the Bose system that's currently in the car.
