I have a Kenwood head unit and it's always my favorite brand. They're going to make the Bose speakers sound awesome, but for some reason Kenwood always gets a little tinny for me. Are you going to use an amp?

I was planning on using the amp that comes with the Bose.

You might want to buy your head unit through Crutchfeild then becasue in order to do that you will need a special wire harness.

The in car Bose amp most likely has the power and remote wires in a harness and the speaker wires in a separate harness.

If memory serves me correct and times have change since I did my last install but Bose system cars you basically had to work around their amps and head units becasue of the wiring.

check the amp and speaker specs

sometimes they speakers will be at a higher resistance (in ohms) and the amps may run hot/become damaged, etc if you add in typical aftermarket speakers (typically around 4 ohms)
