Well, finally decided it's time to improve the stock bose aka change out everything lol.
Here is what I have or have coming. What do you guys think?

Front Stage amp – JL Audio 300/4 (150x2RMS @4ohm)

Sub Amp – Kenwood 9102D (500RMS @4ohm 850RMS @2ohm)
(I had this amp from a previous install)

Deck – Pioneer AVH-4000dvd

JDM DD kit!

Front Stage – Image Dynamics CXS64 V2 Components

Sub Woofer – Image Dynamics IDQ12v2 D2 (will run it at 4-ohm)

Sub Box – 1 Cu/Ft Sealed

Amp kits/Distributor box – Rockford Fosgate 4GA Dual Amp wiring kit

And the car .....

 

sounds like some good stuff...from what i hear ID is pretty decent stuff. Like the car too...

I was recently going to jump in and do a system too, but everything changed when I went to DIYMOBILEAUDIO.com ... I don't know if your crazy into music, buy you may want to consider building an active system (budget permitting of course) instead of a passive system. Better sound quality and better control of your sound stage...

Either way, I am sure that your set up is going to sound tons better than the bose speaks... I am flat out amazed and in disbelief at how bad the bose system sucks... it is quite possibly the worst stock system i have ever heard in a car, premium or not. So kudos to you for changing that crap out, and giving the interior the same excitement as the exterior. Have fun.

 

Well, that is primarily why I bought the 300/4 instead of the 300/2, the 4 channels gives me the flexibility to go active later.
