Yes, I searched and couldn't come up with what I needed.

I'm thinking I'm going to be selling my car soon, but before that, I want to replace two of my three front speakers. Two of them are completely blown out and don't function anymore. The right-side speaker is working, but not too well.

What sort of drop-in speakers could I replace into there that would give SIMILAR performance to the original BOSE? And isn't each speaker going to need its own mini-amp in the BOSE style?

Would I be better off just entirely re-doing the system?

 

If you just want to repair the speakers, go to:

If you only need to replace the speakers and not the amps, I would just buy some from the classified ads. By the way, I just happen to have all 3 factory boss speakers that I need to get rid of if your interested.

 

From support@bose.com, this is an option I did not know about. For what it is worth:

I have a dead left door speaker in my 93 Mazda Rx7. Mazda wants $720 for a replacement. Help!

 

You can't just put any old speaker in there. The Bose system has been very carefully designed around those specific speakers (they are 1 ohm impedance, typical speakers are 4 ohms). Lots of people sell their used Bose systems on the forum or it looks like you can get it fixed for only $75 from Bose.
