Default Musicar Tweeters?? worth it?

Yes Im the first one to **** on large dollar audio upgrades to these cars. Affordable plug and play upgrades Im good with if they actually sound better .That being said do these tweeters make that much of a difference? and do they work with the stock Bose system ?

They work well with Bose System. In my opinion, Musicar tweeters really help to make sound much better but I have to say it's quite expensive for Dynaudio MD102 tweeters.
But it'll be the first step to make music sound alive (crisp, clear and warmer tone compare to Bose's muddy sound) and if you add Dynamat Xtreme door kit, your Bose sound will improve another 10-20%. it's under 70 dollars (but lots of sweat time) and it was worth it for me.

If you don't want to invest too much money, you can start with Dynamat first.

Have a back ordered set that is supposed to deliver "soon." I understand that the tweeter component brand is being switched from Dynaudio (Denmark) to Morel (Israel) due to covid related supply chain problems. Plan to install week after next. Will comment on perceptible differences then.

$700ish for just the tweeters the stage III is around $5,000 with the amp, harnesses adapters and speakers needed.

I would call Musicar for the most up to date pricing. There are many options depending on your car setup.

All of prices are for DIY installation. If you're using a shop, you will need to add installation cost as well.

Yep... not cheap but the difference is amazing. I did the stage 3 because I just had the stock radio, no Bose or anything. I love the stereo in my car now....
