By now, I love the G2. Love it's power, love it's ride. Great car all around. My only real problem now (besides the trunk warning light, hehe). Is the Bose Premium Sound System. It just sucks on my car, no nice way to put it.
It always has distortion, garbled, sound. This is the only way I know how to describe it:
-Have you ever used speakers that don't receive enough power?, that's the kind of distortion i'm getting, the bass isn't working right, the higher the bass, the more garbled it is, specifically the "Rumble" type of Bass. Voice is awful, garbled, lots of distortion.
-Have you ever had two wires touch each other in a sound system? You know the kind of sound it makes? (No, it's not a kaboom or pitch) distortion ...That's what I hear, distortion. Garbled sound.
The distortion is a lot higher at lower volumes... but ALWAYS present in a high amount at all volumes.
I'm really not a fan of ripping out the Stock Sound Systems, my G1's Stock-None bose unit sounds better (That's a pretty scarry thought). I don't know what it could be. I've also posted a question on how to access the speakers, not many replies yet. I have a GS Sedan, I know for the front doors you have to remove the whole door panel
for the rear, I'm not quite sure how to take them off, I tried lifting the covers as suggested on the forum, but they wont go, I tried with a philips flat head and the thing felt like it would break! I also know the amp is underneath the whole rear seat...
So I gave up for now, any ideas? I know Bose systems are costly to repair
I don't like the fact that an aftermarket wouldn't look right on the Legend (the cut out), and the fact that I would lose the Volume control wouldn't be good. I have an extra 5 1/4 Kicker around here, If I can access the speakers i'll hook it up to see if it's the speakers themselves or something in the system (amp/radio/wire). I love music, can't really enjoy my ride without it!
