Upgrading the current Bose...with more Bose!
Hi,
So, another thing that came to mind when i had Christian in the car sharing his knowledge was that he knows someone who put the front Bose doorspeakers with subs into the rear doors. It sounds quite do-able. Anyone ever contemplated this yet?...if so does it need much modifying? I really like the idea of this mod....extra bass and keeping with the standard setup. Common', someone show me how it's done! :D -Oli |
Why would you want to do it Oli? your sound stage for the front is i the middle of the windscreen. Rear speakers just supply 'fill'. If you've set the base up properly you'll not notice them. A better way to get more base is to fit an aftermarket sub woofer.

Hi Mike,
I have had aftermarket ice installs with 12" woofers and don't get me wrong, they sound magnificent - i had it primarily in my peugeot 106 Rallye and Gti so the base travels nicely through the tinned metal lol! I just think that with the 8s, it's a different class of car (sorry Ska & Botang) and i don't like the the idea of putting aftermarket stuff. There are a number of other downsides like (a) it takes up boot space (b) bass travel into the cabin with less ease (i have the playstation and DVD controls in my ski-hatch you see) (c) need for more amplifiers, pre-outs, cabling and the hassle this brings. My theory is that although the difference will be marginal for the front passengers, the rear passengers will hear a noticable difference...but it is a theory. The truth is that i'm one of those people that constantly needs a project and i've got an itch to do something that is unusual! :D -Oli |

You could upgrade the 8 with even more BOSE, like that:
