I've had Bose systems in two Miatas and they're both anemic. On one I always drove it with an amp and MP3 player combo plugged into the Aux jack. Sounded better then because it wasn't the speakers that were the primary issue, it was the Bose amp.

Youngster!  😊   Back in high school (graduated in 1980) we used to strap an AM 9v transistor radio on the dash.....  🫣

Thanks for taking the time to do this. I've added all the parts to a cart on Crutchfield, and the front harness to another cart, and printed them off. After the first of the year I'll order them and enjoy better sound. First speakers I ever bought for a car were Jensen's back in the 70's. They were the goto speaker for that type of thing then. I paid $59 for them then, and here we are now about 50 years later and I'm paying about the same. China does make some crap on their own, but with a solid company spec'ing out the material and construction they can also produce some quality goods. I just wish more companies would bring the manufacturing back here, and cut out the middle man.

 

For sure! Same boat, I haven't added speakers to anything since highschool in the late 90's. Figured i'd be into this way more than what i spent.

I had an AM radio from Radio Shack that bolted to the handlebars of my Stingray in the '60's. Listened to many games with the likes of Sandy Koufax, Willie Mays, Carl Yastrzemski, Don Drysdale, and even Billy Martin. Did I mention, I'm old?

so...even with the non-premium sounds in this truck, it sounds very good compared to any of my vehicles before the 2010's.

I miss my Schwinn Cotton Picker, springer front end and a 5 speed stick shifter. I guess I am old too.

You guys are youngsters.  Back when I was in high school dinosaurs still roamed the earth.  Our only source of music was rock n'roll.  If we wanted to amplify the sound we'd do it in front of a shallow cave.  The Rolling Stones were big back then.  And, the music was always live.

My very first record player only played 45s. You could stack 10 if I remember. RCA victrola I think it was. My first car stereo was a 8 track. I got the 4 speakers from RadioShack. I put two under the front seat. Two on the back deck. The 8 track was mounted under the dash. My first couple of cars only had AM radio and one speaker. .

First music I ever bought was a 45. The Beatles: Side A was Come Together, Side B was Get Back, if memory serves.

I'm not going to age myself, but I recall thinking I was a big cheese when I mounted a 8 track player in my Z28.

Now I wish I could have a Z28.  Scratch that.  I want a ZL1.  I have too many kids, so that a big negative ghost rider.

Also I don’t know if I mentioned it here, but it’s in other forums here. I didn’t used the online bypass or crossover that came with the speakers for the from dash Conner speakers because you lose sound with your blinker and other auto able  noise from other systems in your truck.

 I found out the hard way.  I had to take the dash piece off again, cut the crossover out and reconnect everything.  Works perfect now.

I went with the Rockford Fosgate Punch series. 

Also filed a small claims action against GM. 

How did you do that? The smalls claims?

My truck is a 2023 Silverado RST with Bose 7 speaker! It sound like it was underwater, not sounds great. I hope this help someone! 

Yes my '24 HD Denali Ult. with Bose 12 speakers, sound like I have lots of Wax in my ears.  Even with Treble at 100%, is poor brightness and stereo separation.

      Monday looks like a good day for the dealer to test an ac issue. Hopefully it all turns out good.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
