yep, stock BOSE System w/Comand. The cleansweep eliminates the weird issue where the bass level is reduced when you turn up the volume.

Although I did go to an Audio Shop today and they said it wasn't necessary to just add subs. They said they could tap in to the sub speakers after the amp.
Probably have to cut out the BOSE Mic too.

Cleansweep can pickup any audio signal, make it clear, then spit it out as a Pre-Amp signal.
Then you plug into your amp and its crystal clear

I'm gonna use mines to add 2 subs for now, then do the speakers later.

Some BBS wheels perhaps?

Robert, whichever you've chosen for your next tweak, keep it up.
