Absolutely.

No.
The bose amp has its own EQ settings hardwired into it which means they'll sound best with those settings.
In other words, the bose speakers only sound good with the rest of the bose system.

I have the Bose system in my GP. It sound's great!

They really do! Theres only two things they lack, ability to go past ~90 dB and deep bass. Sometimes high end extension as well and sound stage. But those are typically install related issues.Originally Posted by yulaw335

Pick up the most expensive 6.5" component speakers you can afford without spending more than $200 for the set. That or you could actually try to do a completely custom design, aka pick your own drivers. Try these sites:

That would be quite the task
Actively tuning and choosing cross over points involves a lot of reading/education. Hopefully he's willing to work for what could be the best sound he'll ever know(if its done right)

I understand all the science behind it but, in a car, the environment changes (opening/closing windows) to a degree where not even EQ makes much sense.

Bose sucks. I ripped mine out and went with infinity kappa speakers and new wiring for cheap and its still a big difference...

How many people accidentally send full signals to tweets? :/

Hence an inline cap to act as a high pass filter where it will protect the speaker, yet not interfere with the frequency response curve.

<---doesn't have a lot of faith in people's ability to apply knowledge.
Car audio myth's run rampant, installation miscues are a dime a dozen, and people refuse the possibility of enlightenment.
I probably just have a bad attitude...my bad. Of course my installation is far from perfect. My goal was SQ on the cheap. Turning into a headache trying to be cheap :P Eats into performance of the system too.

600 watts on tap for the sub and its supposed to be cheap?And I thought I was cheap running a 150 watt amp...
People don't think. Simple concept. Most people are stupid. See it everyday at my work. Someone wanted drum backing plates and asked me for differential covers.
09-21-2009
ha...
on tap and useful are two different things
Those Cadence amps were CHEAP!! I think $200 for both(nib)? I was able to acquire the sundown SAX-100.4(nib) for $125 through a trade. Costs is nowhere near worth

SEAS Prestige P18RNX/P (H1350) 7" Poly Cone Woofer from Madisound
That probably measures/sounds better.
Tweeters are different because different people prefer different materials (hard vs soft dome) and different tweeter styles (dome, ribbon).
