I've started hearing some cracking out of my front passenger speaker in my 1990 ZR-1.I've thought long and hard about what to do about this. First off I listen to alot of music while driving. Well I don't need a loud bass pounding system, I'd like a solid system. As good as the stereo was in 1990, aftermarket systems have come a long way.
So, I'm wondering what different systems guys have tried. Have you gone away from the bose speakers? I'd apprieciate any pics of systems put in just for some ideas. Really not too crazy about modifying things too much. |

Thanks for all the info White Bullet. I'm thinking the way I'm going to end up going is an aftermarket head unit and keep the Bose speaker system. I really don't want to fill hatch area with extra equiptment. (There really isn't a whole lot of room to begin with). I'd like a head unit that an ipod can be plugged into to avoid using FM transmitter.

An update from my last post. I decided today to go completely aftermarket. The entire system will be pulled out and rewired which definitly is the biggest cost. I've decided to make sure I'm using best cables possible. If you are going to do it no use cutting corners.The factory bose system wasn't good enough. With the headers and flowmaster exhaust my stereo needs to be cranked right up for me to hear anything. With the blown front speaker it sounds terrible. I have decided to install an Alpine receiver unit and an Alpine amp. The deck lets me control my ipod without going through FM. The speakers are Focal 5" in the front and 61/2 in the rear. These are the best speakers without cutting or modifying much.
Pictures will follow. |

I just ran into a guy who changed the head unit out, but used a switchover to be able to keep the Bose speakers. He obviously did not have any amp issues.
Make sure to keep and properly store your original system in case you sell it someday, and the buyer wants it. ![]() |
