Brought the entertainment system into the 21st century. Sony AX4000 head unit, kicker amp, 4 alpine midst, 4 alpine tweets, one kicker sub, ai driven amp, the works. Sounds incredible.

My car is a new (2024 Outback Touring), but here is my sound system. Good enough audio and with noice cancellation it's like riding in a bubble of peace and quiet.

Hell I lot of time I just use the noise cancellation with nothing playing.

I don't want noise cancellation, the flat 6 exhaust note is cool as hell.

Hm. Good work on the other modification with the heater/ac, too. Looks clean.

Not a fan of touch screens myself, but still nice.
 
What I want is my original factory installed Bose system reinstalled in mine. so it's how it's meant to be.

This is how it's supposed to be...

It's got an aftermarket radio in it now, far inferior to the original factory Bose system, that I hate. Doesn't even match anything.

I've already purchased an original factory head unit and had a usb port intalled in it but need to also replace the original factory Bose speakers and built in amps. Then who knows how the heck Bubba cut and wired things behind the dash to intall that aftermarket piece of shit. Might need a harness, too, if the connectors are cut and missing rather than just stashed behind there some place.

I wanted the android auto feature. All my music is on my YouTube music account and its hard to answer the phone and drive a manual, lol.

I understand.

I lucked out on wiring, all the factory stuff was unaltered and I used a swap harness. There was no amp but the grommets are there so the amp in in the frunck. The thing I like least is that the sub is a far up against the firewall as I could mount it in the passenger footwell. there just isn't anywhere else to put it.

I'd like to see before and after pic when you're done.

I'm gonna have to have a vette specialist do that work. It's too complex of a job for that specific factory system for someone (like myself) without specific experience with it. And also I just don't feel like tearing that dash apart, even if I did have experience with that specific system, it's a major project to get to everything you need to get to and I'm not fit to be twisting around on my back like a pretzel at the moment. Likely won't be for a while. Six month waiting list that I'm not even on yet to get work done on it. Luckily there's one locally. And they'll do it proper. It'll be a small fortune, though for something that otherwise would seem so trivial.

The receiver itself is buried under (and deep inside) the RH side dash and quite a bit happens with that thing (as it also communicates with the ccm (noise cancellation and all of that built in amp stuff) while the head unit is in the center.

I've been through the Bose electrical schematics in the FSM but it's so complex to read with all that happens with that system that my nawgin wants to explode. lol.

Plus I want to have em replace the heater core while they have all of that apart. I imagine you know what's involved with that, as you've owned one of these before, if I recall right. It's as if they installed the heater core first and built the rest of the damned car around it.

But, yeah, I'll post it up whenever it gets done.

I didn't have to do the heater core but I heard horror stories.

The most fun I had with that was the rear spring and I had to drop the fuel tank once.

Does it cancel out the voices in your head caused by your TDS? :abgg2q.jpg:
