Replacing BOSE HU only?
#21
Which probably works just like the LOC. So you CAN'T just plug the HU in, you need to convert the signal, one way or the other.

replace the amp, sub and front speakers. The rears are for fill so your existing rears will be fine. Depending on what speakers you go with you can probably get what you want for sound quality for under $1,000.00. If you just replace the HU you won't be happy.

I know this thread is discussing upgrading from the Bose HU/system, but are there any gotchas on upgrading from the stock Enthusiast system (non Bose)?
Sound is tolerable. I added a sub woofer and sub amp and everything is better but still so - so.
Based on some discussions I gather the EQ in my system is all controlled from the HU and not the primary amp??
Does anyone know the manufacturer of my system? I heard it was still a Bose somewhere deep.

There is no external amp in our cars and the EQ is built into the headunit. Here is the frequency response of the stock headunit. If you plan on using high to low level converter, use the rear channels ONLY. The frequency response of the rear channels is flatter than the front channels. Also, the level on the rear is higher than the front at every frequwncy.

Interesting. Mine has an external amp (Clarion made for Bose). Granted it's now disconnected (for new) and may as well have not been there since it sucked anyway. Did they stop using them after 04?

Usually the primary amp is in the back next to the spare tire under the black rubber/styrofoam cover. Have not checked on my enthusiast to see what is there.

External? I have an 04 and the amp is in the head unit. Have you seen your amp, if so where is it?

EDIT: If you don't have a Touring Model /w a Bose (Blows) HU, your car does NOT have an Amp!
The title of this Thread is "Replacing BOSE HU Only".

I don't think so? The amp used in the 03 TSB was the amp being installed in the 04's. Perhaps it was discontinued on 04.5 & later? This IS for the Touring /w Bose. The non-bose models may not have an amp.

EXACTLY, we were discussing the NON-BOSE systems.

Someone was going to give me a complete BOSE system, but now I have definitely decided not to replace the standard system with the BOSE. Not worth the effort for a paltry sounding BOSE mainly just to gain the in dash changer.
later folks.
