Testing Car stock subwoofer Bose. Each speaker is 2 Ohm. Its amplifier gives 70w per channel on 1 Ohm load. Music used: T-Mass - Up In Flumes Follow me on Instagram: / _audio_therapy_
I love these Bose drivers because they have such a thick large roll foam surround. These get very low for their size and they kick pretty good too. they also move a crap ton of air for their size. Amazing excursion on these bad boys.
I have the 98 Nissan Maxima with the Bose sound in it... For not having an aftermarket sub (coming soon), these guys can make some great sound. The sub will take the strain of the bass off the Bose but because they're Bose they mids and treble will sound amazing. Hopefully you have fun with these! Edit: The ones that came with my car are much bigger than these hence the praise I'm giving them. 2 7" in the back and 5x7 in the doors.
weasel toast it's still not a mid range speaker. I don't know where people are getting that idea from. Could be because the amp he is using might be giving a mid range effect.
You can say what you want about bose, but their speakers are good sounding speakers. I mean I know that they are overpriced, but the thing that defines bose in my eyes is the small form factor. Bose just mastered how to build really nice speakers, that are small in a small box. And we all know that the same thing, just smaller, costs more. I'm not a fan of bose speakers either, because for the price I definetly can get something better, but you have no space, bose is a good way to go. I mean look at the Bose Soundlink Mini. The sound they made out of two mini drivers is just impressing. And you will never see a company that uses such "cheap" materials, as you claim it, that can produce such a good sound as bose. Bose just needs to start making "real" speakers instead of pumping so much money into designing small speakers that can fit into small boxes.
Bose have some smart cookies working for them, no doubt about it, but they aren't known for the quality over their hardware nor their price to performance, but they are known for using clever science to squeeze perceived performance out where raw performance doesn't actually exist. They are the masters of polishing turds with psychoacoustics. Audiophiles reject the very notion that sound perception is psychological, and Bose actually goes out of their way to point it out, and quite frankly, they seem to actually know what they are doing. Bose go out of their way to engineer ways to make crappy sound from cheap speakers interact in a way that tricks people's ears into perceiving things the speakers aren't capable of doing. However, manipulation of the sound like this leads to music not actually sounding like it was intended, and that can seem like a perversion of the sound by some audiophiles, since bose could have simply used adequate hardware for the job instead of manipulating the sound. Especially since it can trick the untrained ear into thinking it was doing _good_ things, since they have no reference for what good *actually* sounds like. I have no issue with bose and what they do, but I do wish more people actually understood what bose was. They are sound illusionists. Long story short, do NOT talk positively about Bose around an audiophile. It is like talking positively about ricers around a muscle car lover.
Any speaker is only as good as its enclosure. Any and all speakers do one function, move air. You can move all the air you want, but if it isn't correct flow, then IDC if you're rock Lvl 6 DC's or even better. The sound will always and forever be shitty. Walmart speakers can out DB and SQ "pro" setups. Now with that, I do understand the rest of the knowledge to go into this conversation. Dima said it best, they know how to make shit good, and small. NOT the best.
Thanks for the song! Up In Flumes - T-Mass, and by the way, Bose spends a lot in development every year just to make speakers "OK", remember that geometry plays all the time.
I'm 50, I've had like 8 cars w Bose systems in my life, some were kinda crappy but the ones from the early 2000,s are great. I currently have a 2004 pathfinder platinum work truck, It came stock w the upper tear Bose system from the 03 Infinity Qx4, when I went to upgrade the system I bought some PowerBase 2 ohm 6.5 replacement speakers cuz they had good reviews, and it's hard to find 2 ohm speakers. But when I went to swap them out I was surprised to find the Bose had much larger magnets on them then any I had seen in the past, I tried the PowerBase, but returned them and got a 50 watt per channel RMS amp which really pushed the Bose speakers and made them sound amazing, I installed a pair of the $25 Skar silk tweeters in the A pillar factory locations and a cheap Android head unit w DSP, and it's one of the best sounding car systems I've had now and as I kept the front and rear door speakers I only spent like $400 total including a small under seat style sub, making it one of the cheapest upgrades I've done as well.. You can buy this Bose stuff super cheap on eBay now also and a lot of it can handle bigger amps, also a lot of their stuff comes with small amps on each speaker, like the one in this video, he didn't use it, but it did come w an amp, that set up is only $45 on eBay, sure it's not the base of a big box, but not a bad upgrade for a car w no base for $45 Lol, especially if you have a car with a trunk spare to place it in..
I need to make a 3000 RPM face palm machine, so I can rapidly facepalm while reading these comments. The build goal was this: design a sub enclosure that is light weight, easily removable, durable, and fits inside an upside-down spare tire. Bose did this, and they did it well.
Eh, I test drove a 2016 Mazda 6 a few years ago, it had a Bose stereo, relatively powerful bass for a stock stereo, but also sounded oddly muffled for some reason. That being said, I'm used to aftermarket stereo systems, so I'm probably a bit biased.
@@hakont.4960 "oddly muffled" is exactly how subs that rely on fancy physics sound. They utilize these tubes, horns, and channels and the shockwave gets distorted before it even exits the speaker. Nothing beats a simple sealed enclosure facing the listener, a proper, efficient driver, EQ...and an anechoic chamber. Because no driver is flat in a sealed box.
@@JustinCrediblename The entire frequency range was muffled really, really meh stereo overall. I do agree that you can't beat a proper subwoofer in a properly built and tuned enclosure. I currently have a Hertz ES 300.5 12" DVC subwoofer in a 40 liter sealed enclosure powered by an 1100 watt Hertz mono amp in my car and it makes that Bose subwoofer sound like a toy speaker. It's not overly loud since it's in a closed box, but the bass is nice and "weighty" with good punch.
Bose uses low impedance drivers to pull more current through the amplifier when connected to an automotive 12V supply. Other amplifiers require a boost converter to generate the high voltages needed, but that adds cost to the amplifier. I bought an old Buick Encore spare tire sub that had just one driver in it, and the impedance of the driver was 1 ohm. The two woofers in this subwoofer operating in parallel also provide a 1-ohm load. But if you wire them in series like you did, you get a 4-ohm load, and you can drive them with a home audio amplifier without being worried about toasting the amplifier.
@@Mike-qo4kp No Acoustic Theory was right...wiring speakers in series increases the impedance (i.e. add the impedance together to get the total impedance), in parallel reduces it (i.e. two speakers of the same impedance will see half the impedance)
Geez, these would be perfect for a complimentary dual phase triple compression folded 1/4 wave asymmetrical labyrinth! I just wish I knew what that was...
the only credible part is "'Compression, folded 1/4th wave, asymmetrical labyrinth"; roughly equivalent to what we call a an end loaded tapered horn; a modified transmission line.
I'm impressed. even though the microphone can't capture all the bass. you get an idea on how the speakers sound. it would be nice to see how well the built in amp sounds like. Bose has thier speakers tuned, and the unique design has the bass going through the tuned ports. I had a Bose table top radio. it had impressive sound. I'm disappointed that I no longer have it :-(
They came to a compromise with that design - fits in a small space. Using drivers with any more excursion would just make things worse as there is too much air movement to fit in that space/port.
Oh so wrong.....it's about the box design, the speaker, the head unit, the amplifier and everything between. Slapping some crappy speakers in a great box will not provide premium sound. It will provide deep farting sounds.
John Willis 90% correct! a crappy MTX sub in a well built to specs premium enclosure will make it sound VERY good. Of course with a good head and amp and power supply!
Very similar drivers can be purchased at Parts Express. There are a plethora of small subwoofers, down to 3" in diameter, that use this same design style to move lots of air from a small driver in a small space.
RenkoV2 you’re comparing mainly Sub brands to home audio , car audio head phone brand .. and fyi sundown is over rated , I had a single sa 15 , and then moved to 2 x12 sundowns , which yeah hit lows good and a good quality speaker but for 1200$ JUST for the subs itself isn’t worth it , I moved to a Single Skar ZVX 15 , and now that’s the BEST brand for the money out there
@@hunterbasselite6826 you do realize that bose has a car audio line too, and yeah skar is really good sundown is pretty good, and worth the price compared to the price of a bose system
Pairing this unit or the similar ones with a 300 watt max (150rms) amplifier is more than plenty for them, mainly for a small vehicle or truck where space is heavily limited they sound pretty good, single cab trucks work perfectly for this, where space inside the cab is scarce
Let's be fair here. First of all, THESE drivers where designed to be used in the load chamber enclosure. Playing them out of this enclosure is unfair. SECOND of all, I doubt he was using the factory amp to push them, there for probably not filtered output. THIRD of all it is never a good idea to play any speaker with out it being mounted on a baffle or box. Playing a speaker with it being mounted, or enclosed is stupid. And let's not forget the quality of the cheap microphone being used to record it.
Soong Wen How do you ignore the price when you dont have alot of money? I have a 500 dollar bose and when i look inside the sub it shocked me. I smell a strong scent of wood (wood is normal for subs but the smell is insane) and for the thing that brought the sound out of the box it looked like they used just a thicker toilet paper roll cardboard thing
oh shit, bose are now putting subs in old oil drain pans now. these speakers ate suppoed to be crossed over. so no highs go to them. bose car audio is actually pretty good.
I wonder what these would have sounded like with a simple baffle board. Also, the only thing to be wary of with Bose speakers is the amplifier and/or processor unit often applies a EQ curve designed to match the driver.
you guys are truly uneducated. this set up is a spare mount sub enclosure. guess what . not intended for mids or highs. bass only. id your gonna fault something then make sure you failt it for what it was designed for
Thise speakers were not a bad design, well made, long throw spider, braided VC wires, extended pole through the magnet gap, decent surround. These were not cheap speakers, the basket made it look cheap, but the parts used were pretty good
Not a Bose home audio advocate, by any means, but the best “factory” car stereo system I ever owned was Bose. As much as I hate to admit it, I miss that system. Yes, I’m a bit embarrassed to post this. 😇
If you pair them with a tweeter and a 2.5KHz crossover. It would sound awesome. Bose could make a home speaker 700 to compete with Klipsch fives with these woofers front firing plus an omnidirectional tweeter and their famous waveguide technology.
@@davidperry4013 I happen to have one of these woofers, and any vocals sound horrible (crossed over at about 2-3k with a small full range as a tweeter, not entirely sure of the exact xover point as I was using a 2 way car crossover). The woofer did measure flat to about 2k, but anything besides bass sounded almost like it was playing through a plastic cup
Not really I have one and can take crazy power If it was low quality then why is it that they got high quality (more like competition grade ) voice coils? I tried blowing these subs and it's impossible Definitely buying 20 of these to prove to people bose is better then they think
Haha Yea Lol I Wanna See How long The Things Can Last (probably a long time unless he shoots a huge amount of voltage thru it) Btw I Have Two Of Thos Things And They Make My House Shake Believe it or not XD
It's just a transmission line box, I would like to see the line and know the dimensions. I build alot of these for people, hard part is tuning for internal volume\ resonant Freq
Do you build them for people's stereo systems at their house or have you tried to incorporate a t-line box into a car cuz I know they end up being very big just curious as I wanted to build one for a while for a vehicle and I know that they can be very difficult regardless of where they are to get tuned right there isn't a whole ton of information out there on good quality builds for a car
its possible for a little woffer like that to handle that much and put out that much bass. due to look at the ohms on the speaker. the lower the ohms the better its handling and output of freqs. if you get an 8" 8 ohms, 4 ohms, 2 ohms and even a 1ohms spkr, you will hear the difference. so with BOSE they did a great deal in getting these small woofers to 2 ohms to push more bass. GREAT JOB BOSE
Bose came in my 14 Impala.... and compared to regular stock car audio... the Bose is miles better BUT it still is no king. I can not wait to get my old Memphis M5 12 back in and look at redoing the rest of the audio. I can... at least tolerate for now unlike most stock car audio..... *cough* "Pioneer in a 11 Equinox" *Cough* is crap *Cough*
You should try to use the Bose amp. All is needs is 12 volts and a signal going to it. Subwoofers are not meant to play highs so try to filter out the highs or try to use the Bose amp if you really want to see how much bass these have because they do have very good bass but they are subwoofers not full range drivers so filtering out the mids and highs would be good. I would suggest putting an 80HZ low pass filter on these to really make them slap. The excursion on these woofers is insane for their size
exactly the problem with bose..... wheres the highs coming from??? nobody knows... somewhere between the undersized paper driver cone, and the dust cap.....
+EpicEverythingDude75 no shit stupid fuck... i was being sarcastic... yea.. my point exaclty.. put 50 filters on 25 speakers... so fucking genius.. totally how you get could flat spound reproduction.. go ahead by bose.. its there for stupid fucking idiots like you.. that means there will be more quality equipment to go around... so go fuck your self and your plastic piece of shit bose systems..
+b. c. have fun replacing your rotting as foam surrounds... and further more, bose was more about home audio than anything... there poor quality componants is extreme in there surround sound units most of all... they are fucking junk... same quality as a walmart sony, with a genius port calculation to make it sound a tad better, then charge you 10 times it worth... how many fucking videos have you seen of an audio file showing off his 300,000 dollar bose system????
My wife's mom has the Murano this is in, what a horrible sound system I can confirm.. I didn't even realize it had a sub till I installed a towing kit on it and found it while running the wiring.
What you pay for is the mechanical smoothness. They aren't massively powerful but the efficiency and smoothness make these sound good for what they are. Not saying they are worth the price though. Its hard to compete when Pyle's new products are now better than stock for 1/20 the cost of retail
+FSXgta bose enthusiast? Why would you need to be an enthusiast to know if a product is well built or not? Once again... Default car subwoofer. Its suppost to be cheap and functionable. Those subwoofers dont have near enough output to require anything more than a plastic enclosure..
We have 2 cars, my wife is a Nissan Murano, and mine a BMW 3 series. I spent about $4000, 2 JL audio Subs and 6 Alpine speakers, custom cabinets etc, 4 super tweeters, 10 stack CDs, 4tb Hard drive, Android marshmallow 6.0.1, Amp Digital EQ, seperate amp for Subwoofers, High quality wiring, touch screen, plays FLAC, MP3, AAC, MKV, everything you throw at it almost. The amount of boxes, manuals, and amount of components, labour, time, that went into it. I was looking at each freaking speakers one by one, at the quality of the built etc when the guy was installing everything. My tweeters are silk dome, same grade you would find in home theatre. All up it was probably about 50kg of high quality components. Then there is my wife's Murano, top of the life with all options, come standard with Bose, I think 9 speakers, I saw that same little box that you are showing in your video. I never wondered where was all that sound coming from. Until one day she spilled coffee and it somehow went into the grill of front driver side Bose speaker. She wanted me to get it cleaned, but I did not want to wet the speakers, so I took it to my audio mechanic guy who did the work on my car. He simple pulled it out and soaked it in water, then he was showing me what came behind the Bose grill, and piece of small paper speaker cones, while mine had Kevlar and some kind of metal cones, my JL audio sub with the cabinet we need 2 people to move it, and he opened where the Bose sub was and showed me exactly what is in your video, disconnected it and I was holding it with one hand. I was like what the fuck?? I could not believe it because my wife's car was expensive, the sound when I sat in it, was really amazing. The sound is indeed still very good. Everytime I have stepped into the car and turned the music on, it had always filled the car with deep bass, and and a sense of fullness. In my car, even though I had all those high quality materials speakers all tuned up, JL subs etc, I could never get it to sound as good as the Bose. The Subwoofer rattle my whole car, and people know at home, probably all the neighbourhood too, when I am reaching home, and I have tamed it down all bit since, and I hear nothing inside my car and still people say they always hear my freaking bass. my wife's car though, the bass is full and musical inside the car playing decent sound does not have to reduce the volume and bass and music is loud inside the car, and no neighbours noticed anything. So there you go. How the fuck do they make it sound so go with so shitty paper and plastic components. You should have seen the freaking size of the magnet on my JL sub. My speakers did not even fit in the door, so we had to make custom frames for them. But all these it seems is only good if you wanted to turn your car into a hi-fi, nightclub speakers, but you need to be outside and in a dancefloor to really enjoy it. And the weight of all this, it's like having a 50kg person glued to the car permanently wasting petrol everyday.
Most of their stuff with the tiny speakers they try to coax big bass out of is a joke, but their older 301s, 501s etc are decent. I've got a pair of 301s from 1996, have 8" woofers and they sound great. My pops has 501s from the late 70s that have 10" woofers and they rock hella loud.
+djhaloeight and i have a sundown audio 8" on 1k as the sub for the home audio I'm a major bass head Bose just don't give the power for me or the quality I need js
EL BUGATTI Sometimes from my friend sometimes i find them in the streets sometimes I disassemble somesing and sometimes my dad's friend changes someone's car speakers and he gives me the old ones.
bose mids and high sound really good. ide keep the stock door speakers and Get different subs. thank you for showing what the bose subs look like. for a stock system tho bose isn't that bad.

Pairing this unit or the similar ones with a 300 watt max (150rms) amplifier is more than plenty for them, mainly for a small vehicle or truck where space is heavily limited they sound pretty good, single cab trucks work perfectly for this, where space inside the cab is scarce
I had 15 inch Speaker like that

I’ve been recommended this video for 5 years on and off and I don’t know why
Bass is Life...
Let's be fair here.
First of all, THESE drivers where designed to be used in the load chamber enclosure. Playing them out of this enclosure is unfair.
SECOND of all, I doubt he was using the factory amp to push them, there for probably not filtered output.
THIRD of all it is never a good idea to play any speaker with out it being mounted on a baffle or box.
Playing a speaker with it being mounted, or enclosed is stupid.
And let's not forget the quality of the cheap microphone being used to record it.
FOURTH of all let's not forget it's a video and to enjoy it
UltraWide Gaming. i plea the Fifth😉
Rudy J. Cornejo because they don't make them just cheap factory speakers as shown
John Niedermier you're not even salty you're marinated
ivan obaa being realistic
Great video! thanks for the outstanding commentary!
the opening commercial is hilarious. about the dad sending his kids to time out.
The Speakers look so beautiful, I want them in 12 inch!! O.O :(
JL audio?
they are bose, bose makes speakers as cheaply as possible, no 12 inches, they will just do 6, 2 inches
+johnniedehuff they sound good. Not cheap
Jayden Thompson no they sound cheap
Soong Wen How do you ignore the price when you dont have alot of money? I have a 500 dollar bose and when i look inside the sub it shocked me. I smell a strong scent of wood (wood is normal for subs but the smell is insane) and for the thing that brought the sound out of the box it looked like they used just a thicker toilet paper roll cardboard thing
Seems to have great bass for small sub woofers. My car has a Harman Kardon 20cm Subwoofer (8 inch sub) it sounds great too.
"el estéreo del coche de mi papa tiene bocinas Bass Bose!"
"Que tu papa es el negro jose!?"
De este tipo
oh shit, bose are now putting subs in old oil drain pans now. these speakers ate suppoed to be crossed over. so no highs go to them. bose car audio is actually pretty good.
I wonder what these would have sounded like with a simple baffle board.
Also, the only thing to be wary of with Bose speakers is the amplifier and/or processor unit often applies a EQ curve designed to match the driver.
Congrats, the first audio powered leaf blower...
you guys are truly uneducated. this set up is a spare mount sub enclosure. guess what . not intended for mids or highs. bass only. id your gonna fault something then make sure you failt it for what it was designed for
What else is it supposed to be used for its obviously a fucking subwoofer the fuck u think this was chirpers? Dumbass
Thise speakers were not a bad design, well made, long throw spider, braided VC wires, extended pole through the magnet gap, decent surround. These were not cheap speakers, the basket made it look cheap, but the parts used were pretty good
Not a Bose home audio advocate, by any means, but the best “factory” car stereo system I ever owned was Bose. As much as I hate to admit it, I miss that system. Yes, I’m a bit embarrassed to post this. 😇
Infinity is the best oem system I heard pretty sure it was in either a Lexus or a Infiniti can't remember
Just sounds so clear no distortion
assembled in mexico, jajajaja ahuevo!!!!!
El Cannibal ахуел типо?
El Cannibal ha jajaja de si ahuevo
Si amigo ..
Justo Talkalottashit maybe because they pay mexicans less money to assemble them, just like china?
El Cannibal si pues los que estan echos en mexico son los mejores
seems to be well built !
They are
I own one myself
these are not made for big bass just some extra thump gzzzus why so much hate
Oh They Are Really Good For Bass (they Literally Make My House Shake)
Everybody below need to here them in a murano before they speak. They jam for sure.
TheCamaro5 or Infiniti
They bump in my Altima coupe
Dante C altimas have 6x9 subwoofer not these
Just got one of these out of the LQK pull-a-part junk yard today $9
Facts 2013 SL AWD
Hahahaha no way! From the thumbnail I thought it was gonna be an 8 inch or something not these thing things. Great vid
* takes speakers out of enclosure * "DAMN THESE ARE BAD, WHY IS THERE NO BASS??" - Ignorant basshead logic.
have one in my Pathfinder and it thumps pretty well for a small driver sub
no low pass filter? there should be no mids or highs
If you pair them with a tweeter and a 2.5KHz crossover. It would sound awesome. Bose could make a home speaker 700 to compete with Klipsch fives with these woofers front firing plus an omnidirectional tweeter and their famous waveguide technology.
@@davidperry4013 I happen to have one of these woofers, and any vocals sound horrible (crossed over at about 2-3k with a small full range as a tweeter, not entirely sure of the exact xover point as I was using a 2 way car crossover). The woofer did measure flat to about 2k, but anything besides bass sounded almost like it was playing through a plastic cup
Nice woofer,nice song,nice bass and nice mic
Bose is nothing but clever marketing.
Their drivers are laughably low quality.
Not really
I have one and can take crazy power
If it was low quality then why is it that they got high quality (more like competition grade ) voice coils? I tried blowing these subs and it's impossible
Definitely buying 20 of these to prove to people bose is better then they think
we all know meridian are the best car audio ever
Send those to PhotonicInduction channel for further more tests.............
Haha Yea Lol I Wanna See How long The Things Can Last (probably a long time unless he shoots a huge amount of voltage thru it) Btw I Have Two Of Thos Things And They Make My House Shake Believe it or not XD
omg those surrounds look like they were designed for about 6 inches of travel!
It's just a transmission line box, I would like to see the line and know the dimensions. I build alot of these for people, hard part is tuning for internal volume\ resonant Freq
Do you build them for people's stereo systems at their house or have you tried to incorporate a t-line box into a car cuz I know they end up being very big just curious as I wanted to build one for a while for a vehicle and I know that they can be very difficult regardless of where they are to get tuned right there isn't a whole ton of information out there on good quality builds for a car
All the people who like this you got bad taste. Everyone else who hated it you got taste 👏👏👏👏
70 watt @ 1 ohm, 35 @ 2, 17 @ 4, 8 @ 8. Not much more than a portable stereo.
Still pounds though. Bose subs are amazing
its possible for a little woffer like that to handle that much and put out that much bass. due to look at the ohms on the speaker. the lower the ohms the better its handling and output of freqs. if you get an 8" 8 ohms, 4 ohms, 2 ohms and even a 1ohms spkr, you will hear the difference.
so with BOSE they did a great deal in getting these small woofers to 2 ohms to push more bass. GREAT JOB BOSE
I wish Bose would make 12" subs
They do in their PA systems
Also Double 18”
they do you can order them at Ebay
They make 15inch and 12inch powerd home subs
422
Large thick surround.. That explains alot about the excursion and they hit very low for tiny subs. Great vid.
Yeah too bad the surround is made out of shit materials
still better than my subwoofer :')
same
I tend to talk a lot of crap about bose for their dsp and sound profile alterations but they DO make great and efficient speakers.
I wouldn't buy my worst enemy Bose speakers.
Good. You're too poor for Bose anyways. Go back to your Sony speakers, fucking kid.
PHARCYDE for LIFE!!!
Labcabin till the E. N. D.
triued a new mazda CX-7 with a bose set-up once, i near cried, was like i was inside a baked bean tin with apple earbuds
killer1479 no
Ya sorry mate. Bose sucks
micro love um no stfu
Bose came in my 14 Impala.... and compared to regular stock car audio... the Bose is miles better BUT it still is no king. I can not wait to get my old Memphis M5 12 back in and look at redoing the rest of the audio. I can... at least tolerate for now unlike most stock car audio..... *cough* "Pioneer in a 11 Equinox" *Cough* is crap *Cough*
Noah Fogarty the only thing I’m gonna live with is wanting to beat the life out of people like you who think there opinion is the only one who matters
Good speaker components, with a shape like a sundown subwoofer👍
Sad thing is, with one 8" sub you could get louder cleaner bass in the same size enclosure, however it would take more than 15 watts.
Tinny subs with quite a punch. I had them in a nissan truck
2:35 before you actually hear some music FYI
as if a cave man had stumbled upon a wheel. Oh what is this..? Lets flip it around and see what it can do
What song is that
T mass up in fluems
For everyone saying they’re mid drivers, they have a full range signal, but when in the car, they only get the bass.
nice 😎 what's the song by the way👍
T mass-Up in flumes
Ok thanks
+david paul You are welcome ;)
excelente música para la prueba 😎
nice song
Wth the ear phones on my phone icannot belive my ears. Man BOSS is the BOSS of sound system
No
There are better one like harman/kardon
are u runing them with sub amp cos where the highs coming from ?
It is plugged in to standard amplifier. There is no filters
You should try to use the Bose amp. All is needs is 12 volts and a signal going to it. Subwoofers are not meant to play highs so try to filter out the highs or try to use the Bose amp if you really want to see how much bass these have because they do have very good bass but they are subwoofers not full range drivers so filtering out the mids and highs would be good. I would suggest putting an 80HZ low pass filter on these to really make them slap. The excursion on these woofers is insane for their size
exactly the problem with bose..... wheres the highs coming from??? nobody knows... somewhere between the undersized paper driver cone, and the dust cap.....
+EpicEverythingDude75 no shit stupid fuck... i was being sarcastic... yea.. my point exaclty.. put 50 filters on 25 speakers... so fucking genius.. totally how you get could flat spound reproduction.. go ahead by bose.. its there for stupid fucking idiots like you.. that means there will be more quality equipment to go around... so go fuck your self and your plastic piece of shit bose systems..
+b. c. have fun replacing your rotting as foam surrounds... and further more, bose was more about home audio than anything... there poor quality componants is extreme in there surround sound units most of all... they are fucking junk... same quality as a walmart sony, with a genius port calculation to make it sound a tad better, then charge you 10 times it worth... how many fucking videos have you seen of an audio file showing off his 300,000 dollar bose system????
Seems well engineered. Kudos.

Andrei S. darude sandstorm (trollin') but no the first dude had it. :)
stamped basket on a subwoofer. i cried a little.
what is the model number of that thing? car it comes in?
In the US this exact one is in a 2009-2014 Nissan Murano And 2009-2016 370z
My wife's mom has the Murano this is in, what a horrible sound system I can confirm.. I didn't even realize it had a sub till I installed a towing kit on it and found it while running the wiring.
RevToTheRedline The actual speakers aren't too bad for stock just bose makes an awful eq for all the speakers.
370z
I god a complete bose audio system from a mazda 6 in a car scrap park :)
What you pay for is the mechanical smoothness. They aren't massively powerful but the efficiency and smoothness make these sound good for what they are. Not saying they are worth the price though. Its hard to compete when Pyle's new products are now better than stock for 1/20 the cost of retail

I am so excited to set a pair of BOSE woofers in my truck this weekend. Just gotta find a better box.

awesome video on bose car subwoofer ,,, what a bass man !!!!!!!!!!
I hope you throw them in the trash bin and get a proper subwoofer.
That was not my
+AymBro i am relaxed, but these subs are trash compared to a real subwoofer.
+AymBro very well built? Are you a bose enthusiast or something? The box is made of fucking plastic.
+FSXgta bose enthusiast? Why would you need to be an enthusiast to know if a product is well built or not? Once again... Default car subwoofer. Its suppost to be cheap and functionable. Those subwoofers dont have near enough output to require anything more than a plastic enclosure..
+AymBro again, overpriced trash with super low quality.
Bose , name itself is enough
No highs no lows, must be BOSE. Such garbage. What an overrated company. The power of marketing..
Amen! Well said!!
We have 2 cars, my wife is a Nissan Murano, and mine a BMW 3 series. I spent about $4000, 2 JL audio Subs and 6 Alpine speakers, custom cabinets etc, 4 super tweeters, 10 stack CDs, 4tb Hard drive, Android marshmallow 6.0.1, Amp Digital EQ, seperate amp for Subwoofers, High quality wiring, touch screen, plays FLAC, MP3, AAC, MKV, everything you throw at it almost. The amount of boxes, manuals, and amount of components, labour, time, that went into it. I was looking at each freaking speakers one by one, at the quality of the built etc when the guy was installing everything. My tweeters are silk dome, same grade you would find in home theatre. All up it was probably about 50kg of high quality components.
Then there is my wife's Murano, top of the life with all options, come standard with Bose, I think 9 speakers, I saw that same little box that you are showing in your video. I never wondered where was all that sound coming from. Until one day she spilled coffee and it somehow went into the grill of front driver side Bose speaker. She wanted me to get it cleaned, but I did not want to wet the speakers, so I took it to my audio mechanic guy who did the work on my car. He simple pulled it out and soaked it in water, then he was showing me what came behind the Bose grill, and piece of small paper speaker cones, while mine had Kevlar and some kind of metal cones, my JL audio sub with the cabinet we need 2 people to move it, and he opened where the Bose sub was and showed me exactly what is in your video, disconnected it and I was holding it with one hand. I was like what the fuck?? I could not believe it because my wife's car was expensive, the sound when I sat in it, was really amazing. The sound is indeed still very good. Everytime I have stepped into the car and turned the music on, it had always filled the car with deep bass, and and a sense of fullness. In my car, even though I had all those high quality materials speakers all tuned up, JL subs etc, I could never get it to sound as good as the Bose. The Subwoofer rattle my whole car, and people know at home, probably all the neighbourhood too, when I am reaching home, and I have tamed it down all bit since, and I hear nothing inside my car and still people say they always hear my freaking bass. my wife's car though, the bass is full and musical inside the car playing decent sound does not have to reduce the volume and bass and music is loud inside the car, and no neighbours noticed anything. So there you go. How the fuck do they make it sound so go with so shitty paper and plastic components. You should have seen the freaking size of the magnet on my JL sub. My speakers did not even fit in the door, so we had to make custom frames for them. But all these it seems is only good if you wanted to turn your car into a hi-fi, nightclub speakers, but you need to be outside and in a dancefloor to really enjoy it. And the weight of all this, it's like having a 50kg person glued to the car permanently wasting petrol everyday.
I mean, they do sound pretty good....probably why they are such a popular company.
Nah.
+Jeremy Clarkson alright Mr.Elitist
When he pulled the lid off I was like "what could it be...?"
And then... "NOOOOOOOOOO!".
Bose anything is a joke hahaha
Most of their stuff with the tiny speakers they try to coax big bass out of is a joke, but their older 301s, 501s etc are decent. I've got a pair of 301s from 1996, have 8" woofers and they sound great. My pops has 501s from the late 70s that have 10" woofers and they rock hella loud.
+djhaloeight I like Bose in mid home theater but not for car
+djhaloeight and i have a sundown audio 8" on 1k as the sub for the home audio I'm a major bass head Bose just don't give the power for me or the quality I need js

Arpit Soni song name plz
bose mids and high sound really good. ide keep the stock door speakers and Get different subs. thank you for showing what the bose subs look like. for a stock system tho bose isn't that bad.
That piece of crap is a midrange, not a subwoofer.
I bet you don't even know how speakers work.
nah, I dont. I have not clue, I have been building subwoofer boxes for a few years without knowing anything...
How the fuck can you make subwoofer boxes without knowing that small 4 inch drivers don't have enought displacement to make good bass?
They are midranges because they are too small, they can't make good bass. 4 - 5 inch is a midrange driver size.
Are u a speaker engineer?
Nice Sound, Big Bass 👍 love Bose
Nice experiments. Looking small but performance high.
Nice Video ;)
Thanks
Wo man dich überall findet ^^
Haha ja überall haha
Dac´hte ich mir auch grad xDD
Isso haha
If it’s got no high’s and got no low’s...it must be Bose 😂
Shawn Z it’s a subwoofer not a fullrange or midrange
Bose loves to experiment. And sometimes it goes very well.
Better sound through Research that's why!
that roomba bumps pretty good
