BOSE question

i was wondering if any of you know about pulling the factory amps from the car. i know that the amps are in the doors, but i was wondering what it would take to pull them out. anyone done it? also, would there be any wiring hold-ups. i was gonna pull those and just run speaker wire straight from my head unit...

are you doing a custom speaker install???? why are you bypassing the amps to run less wattage???

just pull the speaker and look at it yourself, its not very difficult, ive done it many of times.

im thinkin about pulling the amps cause my head units puts out the same amount of power as the factory amps do. plus i was thinking of doing a 4 channel speaker amp down the road.

there are amps? :eek7:

yeah, they are attatched to the speakers

Oh... that's bose system only right

yeah...and whatever came in the four and a half gens. they came with monsoon didnt they?

damnit if only i had ordered this car, its def missing some options i wanted :(

it happens

why r u replacing a speaker?
w/ the bose the best thing to do is replace it all and run all new wires to all speakers. tryin to replace just a speaker wont work unless u have a nother bose like the one thats in it. they r at a funny ohm load. and u wont get a strong enough single by bypassing the amp w/ the factory head unit

if u take out the bose get a new headunit too they push a really goofy resisitance speaker if i recall correclty (16 ohms?)

screw bose get alpine :icon16:

yeah so i pulled the amps from the doors, ran new speaker wire from the head unit, and put new speakers in. sounds a lot better. for some strange reason i expected the amps to be larger than what came out. they were screwed to the plastic bracket that holds the speaker, and are about the size of an iPod. long story longer, it sounds better with out the bose stuff...

do the bose speakers work with an aftermarket head unit?

What kind of speakers did you put in?

screw bose get alpine :icon16:

:iagree:
