i was reading around while SEARCHING but i see that people say is you change the front speakers then u cant use the whole setup something about the ohm or something.. i dont really know that much about sound but can anyone help me out. can i keep the acoustic wave system with my pros??

 

Ah odds are no, unless things have changed. All cars with the bose systems, can't work with other speakers, headunits, ect. If you go to use your bostons, which are great speaksers, you will still have to change out your factory head unit to make the bostons work, and the rest of the bose speakers. Reason being is the bose speakers use there own amp for every speaker. Thats why when puting after market speakers in, you have to redo everythign to make it work, because of the bose amp set up.

 

I have BA 6.5 Pros in my front doors, the Bose sub, all powered by a JL 4x75 watt amp with an aftermarket head unit. It works great and looks stock.

 

wait so you're saying that you are running the bose acoustic wave system or a sub? also ive read in somewhere that you can put 6.5s or something inside the acoutic wave box.. is that true?

 

I am using the stock Bose sub without the built in Bose amp. Instead, I am powering the sub with a JL amp that is connected to an aftermarket head unit. I am very happy with this setup.

 

ohh i see and that works? i have a kicker 600.4 lying around think i can use that to power the system?

 

CC, how did you hook your amp to the Bose Sub? Did you keep the two 6.5" speakers in the snake? I'm about to do the same thing so I'd like to know how you wired it. I'm hoping I can use the Bose harness coming to the sub, but adding a power wire for the amp.

Thanks!
