For that matter it has been crap in every OEM Bose audio system equipped car I have ever owned. “No highs, no lows, it must be Bose” is a saying I’ve seen on a lot of web forums. But, be forewarned that if you want to upgrade the audio you’ll be far better off simply gutting everything and replacing the wiring, head unit, and speakers entirely. Otherwise you have to deal with the MOST fiber optic network which requires an adapter for your head unit, and if you want to replace speakers the Bose are typically 2 ohm. Way easier to just totally start over.

That's what I've read Matt, thanks for confirming. And I would do a complete stereo upgrade as you recommend. My only decision is do I go with a very old school (2001) Eclipse head unit and 2 6-channel ADS Powerplate amps with modern Focal speakers or get one of the new head units which are the annoying touchscreens and JL amps or something like that. One of my customers is a 928 shop and is doing a serious 4 figure system install in a 928 GT hypercar build (550 hp) and I may just copy that.
Will be doing a ton of research deciding which way to go.
