I am looking for the specs on the BOSE system in my 2018 Armada with the 12 speaker system.

I am looking to add an aftermarket amp to the BOSE speakers to add a little more power, since I am adding 2 x 10" subs in the back. I dont feel that the BOSE system is providing enough power to the speakers and that they could take a little more power to really make them sound amazing. Otherwise I am going to have to replace all the speakers...which i really dont want to have to do.

Going to use a LC6 for both amps to run the BOSE and subs.

From the Bose website:
Q. Can I get a list of technical specifications?
A. No, because our custom-engineered, complete system solutions largely supersede conventional audio measurements. Even some basic building blocks have been redefined—including amplifiers, speakers and equalizers. But most importantly, our integrated systems deliver results significantly different from those of conventional systems with individual, unmatched components. With a Bose automotive sound system, the location and design of the speakers can be much more important factors in determining output than a wattage power rating. The bottom line? The best way to test a Bose system's sound quality is to use your ears, not a list of specifications.

Hmm, Smoke and mirrors comes to mind. :bs:
