Bose Question

[Tim Quigley]

bose speakers and sub with factory navigation... how do I get more power to the speakers. I'm sure the Bose can handle more power. Just not enough to them

I think your best option is to replace them with good quality speakers and good quality amps with a converter or processor. the bose speakers have odd ohm readings (1.9 or 3.6) and the magnets are very small. also, it doesn't even look like the cones are coated paper. just paper with a thin foam surround. they are very very cheaply made. I doubt they could take 30 watts rms. and I'm sure the ones in the d pillars can't take that much. I have seen tweeters bigger than those speakers

Put a lot of money for that

 

[Brian Wilson]

Not as much money as frying a stock nav unit or bose amp

The audio control lc8i and a small 5 channel amp would be great. you don't have to buy the biggest baddest stuff on the market. cheaper speakers with lower power ratings actually sound and work better on amps with less wattage
