You should not experience any static with your Sirius Radio if it is properly installed.
Bose Wave Radio CD players can be found at the Bose store. They can also be found at eBay, Amazon, August Rayne Inc., Casamanolo, Planet X Electronics and Front Row Electronics.
The only way we have found to lower the base is to put about 5 inches of rolled up sweat sock into the tube at the back of the radio. This reduces the size of the chamber which creates the base and the radio sounds much better. Roll the sock lengthwise... then slide it into the tube from the back on the radio.
The Bose sound systems may cost substantially more than other brands, but they also have some great benefits. The audio quality is clearly better heard than other brands, and it is near perfect quality.
One possibility: Static generated by the engine, most likely in the ignition system. If the spark plug and distributor wiring hasn't been changed in several years, that's a good possibility right there. In line filters can be purchased pretty cheaply that will take out this interference. They are just put between the power source and the radio.

"Depending on which Bose CD player you are wanting; it determines how much you are going to spend. A portable one tends to run about one hundred dollars, while a non-portable one is about four hundred to five hundred."
It's possible there's a problem with your antenna wire. Make sure it's in the radio and that it's not cut somewhere along the line.
Whether or not the Bose radios are better than others depends on what you are looking for. The Bose systems are great if you are looking for a compact radio that is pretty easy to use. If you are looking for a radio where your able to have finer control over things like bass and treble, this is not the radio for you. Overall it seems that most people who own them tend to love them. They are high quality and do have great sound. They are moderately expensive though.
Satellite radio's are much more efficient than normal radios. Regular radios transmit a frequency to a local radio tower, whereas a satellite radio transmits to a satellite. There it is able to produce a further reach and keep you from nasty static.

There are a few possible causes. If the static changes with engine revs then you have a suppression issue. If the noise is general regardless of whether the engine is running then you need to look at the antenna or the radio itself. Ignition noise will typically produce a "tic, tic, tic" sound on the radio and is likely to be due to arcing around the HT leads or distibutor. The alternator can produce a whining noise if the suppressor is bad. The antenna can perform badly if it is damaged or if its earth connection to the car bodywork does not make a good electrical contact. If you think it might be your radio try substituting another.
A Bose Subwoofer does not take up too much room. The average size of a Bose Subwoofer is about 6 inches by 9 inches. However, there is another model that is 8 inches round.
