Bose cd problems Okay, Ive done a search, and cant find anything much on the Bose Systems. I picked up a 96 Z about a month ago and it has the Bose in it. Sounds fine, but wont play burnt cds, and doesnt like to play others half the time. Think i have heard that if you replace the HU with an aftermarket and not the speakers, it sounds like crap. Anyone have any experience with this??? Im not trying to make it sound better, but dont want it to sound like sh*t, either. Just wanna listen to music!. . . Thanks in advance for any help or advice. . . .
Hey, guys. I know this is the wrong place for this, but I posted it in the right one and got no replies. . . Guess since its an LT1, I got shunned. LOL. Anyway, anybody tried the adapter for the Bose systems?

Do it the right way. Install an aftermarket deck and rewire all the speakers. It will sound 100x better than installing a an adapter to work with the stock stuff. The stock speakers and wiring will not work without an adapter.

yeah, Hatter, thats what I figured. . . Rather save that money for mods, but seems like the only way to go. . . And I like loud music, so even that Magnaflow wont drown it out. . . Still got converters, though. . 
Were those new burned CD's mp3 format? If so, it won't read them. As already stated, get an aftermarket unit. Even the cheapest of head units these days will sound far better than the Bose you have now.

No, they werent, and it spits out store bought cds 2 or 3 times before it finally plays them. So, yeah, it probably never played burnt cds, and its gettin to where it wont play regular ones. . . Just wore out. I just hate to have to replace EVERYTHING in order for it to sound decent. If I replace the Head unit, will I be able to replace or keep the factory sub very easy???

I have the Factory Bose setup aswell..my speakers that are right behind the Door went out. I installed some new ones and it wouldn't even run them, I guess the Deck is setup a certian way.
Eventually I'll upgrade the sound system, it'll be nice to have them Speakers back.
