Unfortunately the subwoofer on my 2000 Maxima has gone out. I have one of the stock BOSE stereo systems. The dealer is telling me that it will cost about $600.00 to replace. Does anyone have any suggestions as to a cheaper alternative??

Thanks for any information you can provide.

scrap all the bose stuff and buy aftermarket. You can get an entire system for 600, but expect to spend a grand for a decent one
damn, talk about a markup, You could probably find an identical woofer to that one on www.partsexpress.com for less than $20 (the stock speakers are about $2 on there).
Anyway, yes you can get something much better for much cheaper, the best alternative would be to replace the whole thing, but of course that costs a ton.
Wow, it's a good thing you came along and spent a minute of your time to tell me that I missed a keystroke. I mean, no one here would be able to figure out what I meant to say.
thats outrageous my grand mother has that car and the sub is muddy as hell........terrible just get a new one go to best buy or tweeter and ask them what they have
yeah that sub is really bad, I honestly don't think it's worth $50. My friend had a 2000 max with the bose system and the sub just sounded terrible, it played way too high to be in the back, sounded muddy, it was peaky in the ~60hz region, and it had absolutely no low end.
Since it's blown you might as well replace it with something worth while. There are a ton of choices, but we would need a budget.
Thanks for all the responses to my question. Actually I called Crutchfield and they suggested I buy a Polk MOMO 8" subwoofer and a profile AP 400 AMP. He said that they will give me better sound than I had with the BOSE sub and amp. The total price for both was about $180.00.
