How good is the Bose set up
« on: 02 March 2008, 21:28:21 »

How good is the BOSE set up from an elite saloon and what should be included in a full kit.

What sort of price do they usually go for.

Cheers

If you drive a Corsa with a baked bean can weld to tail pipe, and wear a cap backwards, you'll be disappointed with the Bose setup.

If you've survived puberty, you'll find it pretty good as a factory fit system, without it looking out of place like every other aftermarket headunit out there.

As to what you need depends on what you have fitted now?

At the moment it has the standard phillips head unit with the auto changer in the boot.

My car is a 98 MV6.

I'm looking at a system which comes with 2 front door speakers, 2 rear door speakers, 2 rear shelf speakers and the amp and tray.

Thera is some wiring with it that looks a few feet long.

It is £80.

98 MV6 will have CCR600.

So you'll need:
Amp
Plastic shelf that sits under shelf in boot
Parcel Shelf (or cut your one)
Parcel shelf speaker covers
Plastic speaker protectors (under parcel shelf in boot)
CCR800 headunit WITH CODE!
6 speakers (1 in each door, 2 on shelf)
Loom from drivers kick panel to amp

It sounds like I just need to get hold of a different head unit then as I think everything else is there.

My parcel shelf already has cut outs for the shelf speakers which is strange cause my last mv6 didn't.

I'm on the look out for a shelf with rear blind so it would be a bonus if it had speaker grills aswell.

I know the ccr700 is the one from an elite with the built in phone but what is the difference with ccr800.

Now there's a thought!, more money from eBay.

When do you think you will have the set up available as I would rather buy from you than some stranger on ebay. I'm not in any rush for its just one the items on the to do list at some point.

ccr800 is idnetical to ccr600, except different output stages to drive bose amp rather than speakers.

ccrt700 has configurable (with tech2) output stages, but is not a straightforward replacement for ccr600.
