Yes why not, there are no modules or nothing especial in our vehicles wiring

Unless it's free, I would never buy and/or recommend one.

Their sound quality is complete crap, both in the vehicle and home.

Agree. We get hit up on Bose systems for home theater all the time and when i explain about missing frequencies in their setup and the cardboard oversized tweeter arrays, they dont believe it. I tell them to try and find the frequency response listed anywhere on any of their systems (you cant because its full of gaps and Bose would be embarrassed if you found out).....

Bose is only good at promotion of their product and they are very good at it. Think of the displays they place in stores.
Ever watch your TV with arms holding speakers 6" from your ears?

Ever see a different companys home theater speakers setup the same way beside a Bose system? It a marketing scam that works.


You can find a lot better stuff for a lot less than Bad Overall Sound & Expensive

Heh-heh, I used to be a retail manager at a Bose Outlet Store, and I heard that comment numerous times.....Bose is for people that are not audiophiles, and yes, Bose is very good at marketing. It's a shame, because Dr. Amar Bose is a really brilliant man....
