So I'm looking to swap out the entire sound system, nothing crazy.

I'm looking into either an Alpine 9886 or CDA117 or similar model Alpine.
I would like to add the Alpine Imprint (sound processor tuned by computer) as well as possibly an Alpine Power Pack (Mini Amp - 45w RMS x 4).

Looking for opinions, keep the Bose Amp or swap in the Alpine mini amp..? I'm not sure of the specs on the Bose amp (RMS Wattage, Ohm rating, etc.).. The Alpine can be had for 80-100 bucks..

Keep the Bose or buy the power pack?

Thanks

 

I dont believe i have the bose system however w/ concert 1 the door speakers are ran off the head unit. the rear speakers take speaker inputs(sort of like rca) to a amp located to the back of the drivers rear speaker. from there the speakers wires run to the passenger rear. running the alpine unit, it would be much easier to hard wire the back two speakers.

the output system i believe is no more to 40 watts per speaker on the bose.

alpine ktp - 445 is 40 watts per channel x 4 in addition to the headunits.

Its hands down better, however i upgraded to kicker DS65s speakers and DS tweeters

 

How many watts is the 2000 A6 Audi factory Bose amp does anyone know.
