... So i have completely decided to do away with my factory Bose system because I actually enjoy small amounts of treble in my music rather than just midtones and bass. Anyway, this is what I have got so far...

Infinity Kappa 60.9cs 6.5 Inch Component Speakers for my front doors,

Also Infinity Reference 6022si 6.5 Inch Coaxial Speakers for the rear doors,

This is where your help is needed...
Im planning on powering my rear coaxial speakers through the radio unit, but I want to find a good 4 channel amplifier to power my front components, but also leave the option available to bridge 2 channels and power a subwoofer. This sub would be going in within the month.

Im looking into this amp as a possiblity...

SO, I need yalls opinion on a good amp and sub for this setup... Let me know!!!

 

did you ever have any issues w/ your bose where at certain times it plays your cd's w/ a lot of distortion and other times it's clear?

anyhow, nice equipment thus far!!

 

no i actually never had that issue before, im just sick on the bose mediocrity time to upgrade

 

are you looking to run your components ACTIVELY or PASSIVELY. because if you just want to amp your fronts the deck NEEDS to have a fully adjustable time alignment setting IF you want to utilize the 4 channel amp.
if you want to amp your fronts and rears that's basic. and I'd just go with a brand name 4 channel amp. infinitys are not big power mongers. but their highs are a lil tinny for my liking. I think you may be pleasantly surprised in the sound quality change just after you swap the deck.

 

if you are putting the kappas in the doors put them in the rear too. They have 6.5 coax kappas. Those infinity reference speakers suck.

I'll second or third the "stay away from the Infinity comps". They really lack mid bass and I think the highs aren't that great either. Also, price out a good multi-amp setup as well. You get better performance and more flexibility.

For Comps I like any of the following:
Rainbow
CDT
Diamond
Focal

For Coax they are all about the same, but I have a strong preference to Diamond.

Amp wise you will probably get different answers from everyone. For me:
Arc Audio
Memphis
Mmats
Audison
Zapco
Old Soundstream reference

Subs I prefer SQL:
SoundSplinter
Image Dynamics
Boston Acoustics

 

If you decide to put an amp on the front speakers, PM me. I have Zapco comps I'm sellling (top of the line for super cheap).

 

I live in ATL and would possibly be interested in your old bose if it is in good working order. Tx!

 

I will definitely let you know when I am done getting. Pm me with your number and location in ATL and well talk about getting it to you. Let me know what you wanna pay, within reason...

 

can u let us know how much u sell ur bose for?>

 

Good luck with you're new setup. I actually like my Bose system.

 

well JRMayhew is in atlanta, so i wouldnt have to ship so he gets first priority but if it falls through you get seconds...

 

Do the older Bose systems have issues with trebble?
I had a competition Mephis audio system in my Maxima so I know what great trebble sounds like, and I have to say that the Bose system in my 08 has pretty damn good trebble....although it is lacking in rich bass.

 

add a sub. that will be your solution to the lacking bass issue

 

i have too much bass and not enough treble, thats the problem...
