how to upgrade Bose radio in Intrigue by dirkwork

Has anyone upgraded the radio headunit or the speakers on a BOSE option sound system in their Intrigue? Crutchfield didn't have a clue about the Bose systems but said that some cars with Bose have amps on each speaker and such the entire mess must be replaced to upgrade. I was curious if someone had been down that road before.

My Intrigue has the Bose system. It has 8 speakers. Four in the front door (2 high - 2 low), and 4 in the rear deck. It also has an amplifier mounted on the underside of the rear deck. The head unit looks just like a standard one, except it says Bose. I think there are a few differences in the audio settings. I do know that it's a great sound system. A couple of years ago, I wanted to add a CD changer to mine. It used to be an option on the 98-00 models, but the dealer I talked to said it could not be done without changing the head unit. I still question that. There is a wire in the trunk that hangs down and goes no where. I always wondered if it was for the optional CD changer.

Head unit upgrade 2002 GL harness question. by markybenn

Decided to move question here. My radio is a non Bose with cassette. I seem to have 2 connectors with 2 separate harnesses that plug into the radio. One with the majority of wires and the other with 2 or 3. All the harnesses I see have only one connector. I bought a scosche GM03 from cardomain but it doesn't even fit the larger connector (p.i.a. after tearing into dash).
Spoke to cardomain again and they now tell me I need GM05 harness which looks like it would fit bigger connector but still has only that single connector.
  
Thanks, Mark

I have the same thing as you. I also upgraded my deck with a Pioneer deck. If I'm not mistaken 2002 gl's came standard with steering wheel audio controls. That's where the small connector on the back is for. When upgrading to an aftermarket deck, the steering wheel controls will be lost.

help, Newbie wants good sound on Benz 380 SL by cocobenz

Hi!
 
I want to enrich the overall sound of my 380 SL, I have a CD player installed and originals speakers. Consider I drive with top down most of the time.
 
Can I just change the speakers, add other 2 on the doors and a Subwoofer maybe?
 
Not idea, budget about $350
 
Thank you for any advise.
 
Rick

dampener install dynamat o1 gls by rosscm

I'm going to spread some sound dampener in the trunk and front doors.
 
What are the fragile things to watch for?
 
I would like to be be able to re-attatch cleanly when I'm done with the install. I'll also be putting in a new head unit, amp, f&r speakers.
 
What is the best way to run the power and ground to the amp?
