It won't be for aftermarket. The whole front suspension (and brakes) are redesigned to make the system fit. If it makes it to market it will be on a really, really expensive car. Bose was looking for an OEM to help bring material costs down. This was originally an experiment for technology on a nuclear submarine. I think Bose(?) himself kept the project secret within the company so as to not let the bean counters know they were working on a suspension. They did not discuss details. However it must be a "speaker-coil" and magnet which -sucks- energy from road impacts... and uses this energy along with ecu controlled signal-processing and vehicle-dynamics and NVH algorithms to deliver the result.
