...otherwise, just add bass to satisfy most people's tastes. I simply added a 10" and a dedicated sub-amp and I'm very happy. Stock, it sounds better than most OEM systems I've heard. Crank up the volume up and you quickly realize it needs a little help in the bass-bumpin' department

Bose is one of the more elite brands, but has none of the hype-only characteristics of some elite brands, such as Infinity or JBL (see Ford Taurus)...People have a right not to chose any sound system based on whether it tingles their ears, so Bose might not be the most -hairraising for your liking, but PLEASE stay away from terms like "doesnt reproduce music to my liking." Bose EXACTLY reproduces sound and music, as any techie who studies the systems knows. What many people here like that they absent-mindedly criticize Bose for is not "interpretting music". LEave that to other systems, to make the bass so huge that it shakes the car, and makes the trumpet give you bloody ears. IF you want insanely exaggerated music then its AOK to get a different system, but what Bose does is play music as it is, attempting to have accuracy rather than exaggerating, and I like that.

I just hate what custom systems do to break up the center console....hard enought o find a all red display, but often the buttons look out of place and the font is all wrong..but thats just me..Id actually liek to see a amp and system adaptable to the head unit and console parts....lol...maybe to just add features, like balance, finer bass and treble tuning, etc

If you're an audiophile, breaking up the center console isn't as a big a deal as the ammount of fine sound you will have in your ride. It just depends on what you're after. Although there are options that don't totaly distroy the dash, they just aren't cheap....

i'd say that what you're saying is a little harsh. while the bose is quite satisfactory for most people, i'll guarantee any decent aftermarket setup will dance circles are bose.
accurate music reproduction? the bose is filled with distortion at anything slightly over an average listening level. i'm not saying the bose sucks but please, that system is hardly accurate - especially to anybody with a bit of audiophile in them.
