[jpcharette]

Help!! I have a 07 gmc siera new style with non bose sytem (option code US8)

and I want to know if it's possible to install a bose system in it, if so which material do I need except speakers??

Is the bose radio same as standard radio??

 

And also where can i buy this kit, preferably used??

Thanks a lot for your help!!

I don't think its impossible to do it, but you will need the Bose amp and such. It will be a big process I would think than rather just get an amp and have even better quality than bose

In the very least you'd need the new deck, the amp, the speakers and possibly the full length floor console if you don't already have that (I think the amp goes under the console. The wiring may very well be different too and if this is the case, trying to integrate the Bose to the truck would be a disaster probably. Honestly for less money I bet you could buy good aftermarket speakers and associated bits and have a great system.

You can get better sound for 1/2 the money and trouble it would take to put the Bose in. The Bose has pretty good sound quality, but if you're looking for bass with lots of kick, it's not the way to go.

 

Run one or two good quality amps, get good speakers and wire them in.

Thanks a lot for your answers, I think i will buy bose speakers only and good amp!! I'm not looking for bass with lots of kick, I'm looking for a pretty good sound quality!! Do you have suggestion for my 4 door speakers amp??

Also, do you know the size of my doors speakers? I have a king-cab!

 

Thanks!!

And maby you have a suggestion for a sub amp or better, an amp that drive my 4 doors speaker and 10 inches sub?

I am going with the Polk audio coaxial speakers and a kicker self-contained under seat system. The kicker system uses high level inputs so you can keep your factory head unit. You just tap your speaker wires.

[Chris]

Foam baskets? I used the foam gasket when I put the speaker in

These

i guess they are called baffles. If i can avoid putting a sub in my truck i will as space is valuable in a single cab truck.

[Chris]

No, and my 4x6 back door speakers are a plate. They have a 4" woofer and a 3/4" tweeter

[Carder09]

I here recently used baffles for my all around new speakers and amp and damn is the sound quality even better than before! With just the deck powering them the quality of the sound is so crisp and clear, almost don't need an amp to power the doors but still recommended.

do they help alot with the bass response?
