Stereo question
I currently have the bose system powered by an aftermarket head unit. what will I need to go through to replcae the front speakers? I also want to take the tube out and stick speakers in the spot where the little side storage pockets are. Thats where they would come stock if I didn't have the bose right?
What size speakers will I need? is there any hardware or brackets I'll nees to get from a non bose FD?

from what i was told, you will have to replace all the wiring because the bose speakers work on differnt ohms than most. therefore they use diffrent wires.

Actually the wires have nothing to do with the load. It's the speakers and the amps that are working at 2ohms. If you remove the amps and the speakers then the wiring will be fine. If you want to install speakers in the rear panels then you'll need the brackets from the non-bose equipped cars. I think it fits a 5x7 back there and a 6 1/2 in the front doors.

Unless you run amps in each door you will need to run new speaker wires to the doors also there are no wires to the rear speaker locations (B pillar) so thoes would have to be wired also to use.

i have one of the schoshe adapters that crutchfield sells for the install. retail is something like 50-60 bucks. let me know if any of y'all need/want it.
also, the front speakers are 5-1/4 but you can fit a shallow 6.5" speaker in there. you will need to get new front speaker mounts from a base or R1 model though. the whole bose module will need to come out unless you want to put in some type of aftermarket 4" speaker and disable the amp while still using the housing.
