Default Got a 07 Imp SS! Nice!

I finally picked up a 07 (200miles on the clock) last week! Black with tan leather! Nice combo, hard to keep clean, but I will only drive it about 150miles a week, that's once a week to work! (130 mile commute to work both ways!). I was looking at the TBSS and maybe even a used Suburban, but the Impala had the best balance of fuel economy/price/room/V8 of all of 'em to me! My father has a 07 LTZ that's very nice, I've driven that around and that helped with the decision! I will PM some of you guys regarding PROPERLY lowering this car! It's too high for me but I want no vibrations and any other complaint's I read about regarding lowering! This thing is fully loaded, but when I took it home I realized it doesn't have the Bose set-up my father's has!!! What a difference in sound! I'm kinda pissed at myself because I should'a noticed it, but it's to late! Hopefully there's a simply upgrade! Well guy's you have a new member ( to the LS4 that is) and hopefully I will enjoy my Imp, like some of you have!

I am Bose-less. Actually slightly disapointed in the stock (6 changer) system.

If you don't see the Bose option on your sticker, you do not have it.

My speakers say BOSE on them. I guess that's a good way to tell.

I have a new 2007 Impala SS and it doesn't have the Bose system, it does have the 6 changer though. I dunno, the system sounds good enough to me. And to be honest, anything that takes away from the drone of my V8 is right out.
