I also have the Sub and completely agree with technyme. Perfect addition to my stereo. Fills in the lower end and bumps when the kids want this music called rap. Lol
I'm upgrading my door speakers tomorrow to the Kicker KSC models. Can't wait to see if their is a noticeable difference

Sounds like a great addition, if anyone in SFL has it, i would like to take a peek before pulling the trigger.

Thank you, did you have your dealer install it?

I paid $520-ish online and had the dealer install ($190). After listening a bit, I like it. But... It highlights some of the weirdness of the Bose system. Some things sound great, others just sound off.

**I am not an expert- but I love listening to music and here are my uneducated impressions after 24 hours**

*Edit* flipped back and forth between a CD and Bluetooth (Anthony Hamilton, Ain't No Body Worrying "preacher's daughter" in particular)- CDs play louder overall than Bluetooth, with more bass and more treble. Bluetooth mp3 sounds more compressed (as it should I suppose). After adjusting eq, CDs are preferable (as they should be).

Setting the Centerpoint setting to "driver" produces the cleanest bass for me, followed by "normal". "Centerpoint" sounds like the subs are phasing each other out a bit. "Driver" seems to really tax my front driver side door speaker though.


All of the sound quality seems to drop once you are moving and the noise cancelling becomes active. The louder the volume the sooner this matters. This was also the case before the sub install.

The Bose system sounds pretty ok at moderate volume, when parked. The further you get from those conditions, the more it strains. The sub helps that at the low end, and is a general improvement. It doesn't fix the rest of the system. In the end it makes me want more. I'm hoping Alpine or someone comes out with a vehicle specific solution to replace the Bose system entirely while keeping the stock head unit functionality.

Still waiting for it to arrive but yeah I’m going to have the dealer do the install.

The kicker 6x9 and 6.75 speakers are 4 ohm. The factory speakers (non Bose) in the front doors and dash are 4 ohm as well but in parallel giving the fronts a 2 ohm impedance. As per Kicker Tech.

44KSC69304. 6x9
44KSC6704. 6.75

The Kicker packages are:

PSUTAYU15. 200w sub only
PSUTA. Sub and 32 bit processor/ Amp

The tech advised the PSUTA is designed for the factory speakers but if they were to recommend upgraded speakers, they are the KSC models.

I may have missed it on someone's post but what is the main difference between PSUTAYU15 and PSUTA???

One is the amplified sub and the other is an additional amplifier and processor for the door speakers
