Keep 07 Bose head unit/nav but add aftermarket amps and speakers and sub?

That is pretty nice. I was hoping for something like that to avoid taking up space. What is the biggest cubic space that you can fit there? How was rattle?

To the original OP, if you want to keep OEM HU for OEM look, I understand but if you are worried about losing features that come with car, you can definitely go aftermarket and not only keep all OEM functionality but add to it instead of getting one of those options the knowledgeable Nathan mentioned above. I would just compare price. If you going to spend 300+ on any of them, might as well look into a few more and open the gates :)
I just didn't want to give up any of the original features like the DTS for movie playback or lose the center channel front speaker.

It's out the truck now and for sale.

Replaced with a behind the 3rd row DC Audio 12 .

But it was nice to not have to move it, be scared to bang it around when hauling things. And I told people it was a factory sub ran on an external amp. The Chevy dealer was impressed, lol.

I have the xl and was thinking about making an enclosure that was the same size as the cargo area floor but only 4 to 8 inches deep so I can still throw stuff back there.

I have a 10" in my center console, and it does not rattle at all... of course I do not turn the bass all the way up either...

I looked at the JL version of this as well and my only concern is that the center console would rattle to high heaven. Sorry for the super delayed response. I missed this thread somehow.

I have my old center console setup with a kicker L78. It only rattles when i had the bass knob up and had things that could rattle in the by the cup holder ( flashlight, coins, pens, etc). If you are interested, let me know. Imma try to put it up for sale this week since it's just sitting in my storage house.
