No HIs or Lows when you have a BOSE.

Personally its an alright system, HU blows. It has some good bass in it, but it could be better, the highs definetly need some work. I am replacing my system during my xmas vacation.

The bass is much better when you sound deaden the front doors and rear deck. Easily doubles the capabilities. I went farther and did my a-pillars, rear doors, and the area behind the rear seat, though.

Overall great system...just needs tweaked.


...and a new headunit

the reason i talk **** about the bose is that it is just so notorious for going out in one way or another. 3rd gens had problems with the head units and the speaker/amp assy's going out, newer cars usually the head units act up in many different ways. My buddy's '02 has had the head unit replaced 3 times before the 3/36 warranty was out. It would be one thing if they only had occasional failures, a small defect rate is a law of nature, but the failures are so widespread, and way too common for a Japanese car, which is expected to be reliable in almost every way. Now some people do get lucky and their bose has not had any problems and that's cool, because they do sound pretty good. But getting a bose sytem in a max is like buying a Ford, they have a rep for poor quiality and lot's 'o problems, and alot of them are junk, but once in a while you do get a decent one that is fairly trouble free. It all boils down to an unacceptably high failure rate for a component that comes in a japanese car. Maybe chrysler should get bose and nissan start using infinity systems?
WOW, I went WAAAAY off topic there, sorry for the rant, don't want to ruin the christmas cheer.

Umm, I hooked up the remote start on my alarm i got for my car for chistmas...so it's sorta like a stocking stuffer.
The shop wouldn't do it when they put it in. somethin' about a stickshift?
I'm lovin' the new tires and ST swaybars.

I am probably picking up a used suspension, so I will finally be lowered!!! I didn't expect this. Man, I can't wait.

KYB AGX paired with either sprint, eibach, or S-Techs, depending on who I buy from.
