BOSE Premium Sound, Really?

[Byrds8]

The Bose of today is not as good as prior years. An 07 Tahoe I had sounded better. My 2022 Silverado 1500 ZR2 sounded better than my 26 Trailboss 2500. I think its their way of cutting more corners to make more money while screwing over the customer...go figure.

Somewhat unrelated, but not worth it's own topic. My 2022 LT's entry level audio system sounded like garbage compared to my 2025 Custom's entry level system. Not sure what changed, but the 2025 sounds 100% better than my 2022 did.

Bought a ‘24 TB LT 11/24. Bose Premuim was garbage. Installed a Kicker sub and upgraded all the door speakers. Vast improvement. Should not have had to do that with the optional Bose Premium. And no sub in the center console. GM keeps cheapening their trucks and raising prices.
I see a Ram in my future.
