My name is Rob, I just purchased a new 2023 Sierra SLT 1500 Duramax with the Premium package and the Bose stereo.
I was underwhelmed with the stereo to say the least. The stereo sounds muffled and the bass is extremely poor.
I have read many of the posts here and they have been extremely helpful.
Does anyone know if there is a option to purchase a direct replacement for the factory bose amp that increases Output and quality without having to use all kinds of harnesses?
My plan:
Stage 1:
1. Replace dash speakers with kicker 2 3/4" speakers

2. Replace Rear door Speakers with Kicker 6 3/4" KS

3. Add NVX speaker Cones to direct the sound towards the cabin and give each speaker its own "box"
