I know nothing about audio and car electronics. I'm just a performance junkie. I thought Bose was good system, but the other day I sat in my bodies car and it opened my eyes. He spent over 10G's. I don't expect to spend that much, but want to improve my car's spind quality. I want to change my spreakers, woofer and tweeters. But I don't want anything too big or anithing that will need custom job. I'm just looking to replace with the same size equipment which will fit perfectly.
I did some search and got even more confused.
Please show me some light and give me some suggestions.
Thanks
Nik

 

If you want to get new speakers and have a stock bose system, you'll be best off replacing the head unit with an aftermarket one, and running new wiring to all the speakers. Hopefully a 2000 owner can verify that this is the case with the stock bose in this year - I think only in 2002 did they stop using the separate amps/active eqs per speaker. I'm not 100% on this, so don't run out and buy a hu just yet

Fitting perfectly is also a challenge with the bose equipment. You'll have to ask someone with a 2000-2001 for exact dimensional matches, or better yet, speakers that fit stock pods perfectly.
It can be tough - I ran into a couple very frustrating problems with fitment in my 4th-gen max. Seems in those, only 6.75" speakers with smaller-shaped baskets would fit perfectly.

Bose blows for doing any kind of upgrading/installing. 9 out of 10 times even with decent car audio knowledge, headaches are guaranteed when working with stock-Bose systems.
