[edogg27]

problem is i have no clue how i would go about doing this with running wires and stuff is someone can help itd be much appreciated

You can either run your own speaker wire (preferred and probably easier, and will likely sound better; required if you have an amp for the door speakers) or modify the stock wiring to bypass the stock Bose amplifiers (annoying, but works fine in my case). Honestly, it's probably not awfully difficult to run speaker wire to the doors... I've not done it, but it's not difficult to pull up some carpet and remove some door trim to hide the wires nicely.

i was thinkin screw the entire bose set up and maybe run all new wire but if i run new wires to my speakers should i leave the stock speaker wire attached also or just the one that goes to the amp

well that looks like a s*** ton more work than what i figured lol

i was just going to run a 6 channel amp from the head unit and run wires from that to all 4 speakers and leave 2 for subs... can i just do it that way??

Yes, all you need to do is run wire to each door.

will i loose the ability to fade and mess with balence and treble and bass and stuff???

if your changing the headunit, it is controlled by that so it will be fine. you cant keep the bose stock one as bose uses some dumb output voltage system and ohm system its like 0.2 or 0.3, which if you use it, your speakers will be quiet as hell.

Vice versa of the issue, i put in my 7in touchscreen before the speakers, and i would put it at the max volume which is 40 and it sounded like crap, because the bose things provide special ohms and all.

with the new ones in, (they are alot more powerful and running off a dedicated amp) but i put it up to only 1/3 or like 16ish of the volume, it gets pretty loud, around 25ish is like good for only a little bit because its ridiculous how loud it gets. When driving the most i usually have it at is 18

I want an upgrade to my entire system but, I hate how Aftermarket units NEVER blend with the car. If someone can find a good powerful head unit that looks like it belongs, I'd buy it.

Get a Double Din.

No matter what unit you get, from what im understanding it will not full fill up the gaps but after 3 weeks of having it, youll love it, and ignore the tiny gap it leaves cuz its not noticeable. Do what everyone else does and change your interior lights. Every light in my center console (shifter, gauge lights, hvac units, time, compass thingy, 4wd shifter) and you know what... it looks normal so have at it.

i have a double din avic D1 nav and i just swapped that out for a Avic Z2 and it looks flush with the dash nice and factory... and yea if i get that thing up to 22 its starts to sound like complete s*** so i keep it at 19 or 15 19 being the max ill go... thats y im gonna run 3 amps off the unit since it has 3 outputs.. one for the subs one for the rear speakers and one for the front speakers and im gonna complete take out this bose crap.. bose is awsome dont get me wrong but when u start to mix s*** with it.. it turns into s***
