Get rid of the Bose as stated in millions of pre-existing threads including this one from the mid-evil times.

 

Ordered up a set of Rockford Fosgate's in 4x6 and 6.75 sizes.

We installed a inexpensive Dual and it does the stock speakers, with the power amp bipassed, are worthless.

No shocker as my oldest son blew them out years ago....

Wish us luck!

 

I modified my stock bose housing to accept a 6" ORION component back in the day.

 

So I'm replacing front and back with 6.5 should I bypass the factory amp I have a aftermarket head unit

 

Bypass! Don't want to risk killing your head unit and/or speakers.

 

Can I bypass without rewiring? Everything all I'm doing is a speaker replacement also non bose should have said that

 

For what I see just cut amp out and cap them ends takes it out of the equation then everything from dash is wired separate lf rf lr rr

 

Nvm I've now acquired 2 12 inch subs in box with an amplifier main breaker fuse and base boost *** and capacitor looks like I'm doing it all woo hoo

 

So basically if you found a non-bose in the junk yard you could take its speaker mount, and use it for a better 4x6 speaker in the front of the car in a bose maxima?

 

So I am working on changing the system out on my maxima. The previous owner did most of the hard work by taking it to a audio shop, and having 3 blown speakers replaced with a set of 4. So now its a 4 ohm audio pumping car. The only problem was they used speakers that would sound like the crap bose ones did. So now I am upgrading those to Kenwoods. Front KFC-1095PS
Rear KFC-6995PS. The one thing I am interested in has anyone ever added tweeters in the front? I'll have 3-way speakers in the front doors, and 5-way speakers in the rear.

 

My car had the Bose system stock, replaced by the PO with a crappy head unit and the speaker amps are bypassed.
But my question is about the antenna setup. The OEM antenna cable carries the in-glass antenna AND the power-up mast antenna to the head unit. Does any manufacturer make a head unit with dual antenna (diversity) inputs ?
I wish one of the antennas were in the front of the car (or a patch antenna on the roof) that would work better. I think the only advantage of the stock setup would be a little less sensitivity to the 'mast isn't up yet' issue when I first start the car.
