Can the BOSE sound system not be upgraded...?
I called Crutchfield.com and they told me that there is no way to upgrade the speakers or add subs to the 1996 BOSE system.
Is this true? Am I stuck with a sound system that cannot be upgraded in any way? I hope there is some way around this. Any suggestions?

not true- you just have to get speakers that match the ohms of the bose you can also

It can be upgraded. You have to take your head unit to the dealer and ask them to....
turn the BOSE mode off. There are line outs on the back already so you can run aftermarket speakers thru an amp. You will need an adpator to access the line outs though...$9 from Crutchfield.

the bose mode is merely EQ settings in the HU, it has nothing to do with the amps or ohm loads
That's defined by the Bose amp and the bose speakers. Turning it off would not be a requirement to upgrade the system, more of a recommendation.
