I have the Bose system in my Z and the Sub has been going in & out on me for a while...I have to bang on the outside housing and it will kick back on...but eventually it goes off.

I jacked around with it a few months ago to see what was loose under there and I could find anything.....I'm just about ready to yank it out and take it to a Stereo shop and have them put in something else.

If I get mine replaced, you can have it.

just to let you know, bose speakers work at a lower rating (1/2 - 1 ohm) than aftermarket speaker (4-8 ohm), they have all their stuff so it matches... go to any reputable stereo shop and they will tell you that anything BLOSE is a pain

I have heard that the Bose system's aren't really high end....but I rarely listen to FM, or CD's anymore.....I have an Ipod adapter for it....but never use it.

I like the sound with the bass....but without it it sucks. I would like to just swap all the speakers out and get something like MB quarts or whatever....but not sure I want to spend money on a system I don't really use.

AM radio is my friend and all I usually listen to is the Ticket or 1080 for news.

Does anybody know if there is a Sub that can just swap out into the oem space in our Z ?

most bose head units are clarion, and since my radio and all my speakers but the sub has been replaced the bass kinda sucks since the factory amp is still in use

if you plan on putting it in the factory spot you would get the best sound from a free air one (that what the bose is), i have seen some of the people in the audio that built a little up firing box that fits in the factory location

The Bose speakers run at 2ohm. If you run an after amp to them they'll sound better but youre going to have to run a power wire for them and everything else. Also make sure the amp is going Including a line output converter.
