In my opinion GM is not out there to make your vehicle shake down the road or make people deaf. The system sounds fine. I don't know if anyone turns the rear controls off, but that does have an effect on the overall sound of the system. If one is in search of a great sound system then replace the one in there and you will be spending more than 2000 on a whatone wants. I have had replaced all speakers, head unit, and added woofers/tweeters. This sounds awesome but comes at a price. Factory units/packages never sound the way you want them, that is why they make aftermarket systems. If you order a vehicle get the cheapest unit or don't get one at all. Then one can spend thousands to make it sound the way one wants. Of course this is my opinion.

I want mine to shake like the Dodge Nitro. I want to move the cars out of my way and scoot them over to prevent door dings.

Would like to make one comment about the Bose radio and no DSP in the 2007 Tahoe and the owner's manual language. The manual states that Chevy has the right to make changes in the product without notice. The manual was printed in 2006. Thus, in order to make a change in the product, the 2006 Tahoe would have included the Bose with DSP or, perhaps, an earlier 2007. In order to avoid possible problems, Chevy should have stated which vehicles and radios come with DSP. If Chevy never changed the product-that earlier poster has an interesting issue.

After some more research, it would appear that the manual was printed for the 2007 models, even though printed 2006. So, the product would have had to change, not from 2006 models, but from earlier 2007 models. I wonder if any chages have been made from the intial 2007s through the end of 2007 production?

I just joined after reading all 87 of these posts. Entertaining and informative to say the least. My LTZ Avalanche resembles all these posts; obviously no DSP functionality. I understand why now it doesn't but can't help being dissappointed and disillusioned with GM. I studied the manual thououghly on the flight home tonight intent on learning how to activate a feature I thought I had and planned to go to the stealer tomorrow and ask about it, now an obvious waste of time. I believe I was mislead by the published literature including the window sticker as to the system capability.The last post was intriguing. Would it be posssible to go back to the 2006 vintage amps to retrofit functionality? I'm generally enjoying the truck so far (at 1300 miles) but must agree the sound system is mediocre at best for a near fifty thousand dollar vehicle; Dr. Bose sould be ashamed to have his name on it. Having been an audiophile the last 40 years I know a well executed stereo system can be exceptional. What have been found to be the most cost efficient improvements after speaker upgrades?
