Aftermarket stereo sounds horrible

This is your place for alarms, remote starters, to brag about your system, exaggerate your db levels, or simply ask questions for stock or aftermarket audio. No Flames! (except from roasted amps)

I just can't recommend keeping the Bose amp and speakers if you're using an aftermarket head unit. You can do MUCH better with an aftermarket amplifier and speakers in addition to your aftermarket head unit.
