If you start with crap, then upgrade to crap, you'll still have crap.

In all honesty...

My bose 6 disc got jammed when I wanted to eject a cd...I would be so pissed if it was not covered under warrantee. Plus my subwoofer cuts in and out, bose sucks. Put the money towards a nice system.

Just spend around $1500 on aftermarket system and you will be good.

You dont even have to spend that much.

$200 amp
$100 woofer
$100 back speaker pair
$100 front speaker pair

and that would be better than the bose

$500 double din if you wanna be fancy

I did as I wanted to maintain the stock double din look. I had an '04 non-Bose & upgraded to a SAT ready '05 Bose 6CD unit from a 350Z Roadster. I followed Frankmusic's set-up below & also upgraded it to Sirius digital. The sound quality is amazing & CD like. You may want to PM Frank as he had a diagram that I followed but it is not posted anymore. I did have it installed professionally in Circuit City:

You will need an Amp & the PD4 harness:

Just be careful if you purchase one. It needs to be shipped with the CD lock (white plastic on top) or else the 6CD player will be jarred in shipment & will break.
