Default Throw them BOSE'

This may sound extremely stupid, but who cares. Anyone know how big the rear subwoofer is in the trunk with the bose system. Want to take it out and put somethin else stronger in the same position.

Default To clarify, it's an open air "sub" (really full range speaker) on the rear (more)

hat/parcel shelf in the sedan. It's only farther back in the trunk in the avant.

Default Re: Bose System Info...

Other Bose systems seem to sound better than the one we have. I know for sure that the Nd woofer in the Acura and the Infiniti must be superior to the one in the A4.

Default Please do not simply replace the woofer ! ! !

The Bose system cannot run a new speaker in any location due to unique impedance within the system. You must replace the sub and add an amplifier to have this work for you. Not to mention that I would never never never put a sub in an "Infinite Baffle" application in anyones car. A sub suspended below the rear deck with no enclosure other than the trunk is an infinite baffle enclosure. They are sloppy, require tons of power over conventional enclosures, and you cannot tune the frequency response AT ALL !

Default Agree, but it's a shame we can't get one of these...

JL Audio Stealthbox from my '98. I think it had(2) 8" IB subs. One of the few things I really miss from that car.
