Bose Headunit Replacement Question

Can the Bose headunit be replaced without switching out all my speakers? If so how?

Thanks

It can be replaced with another bose headunit. The speakers are 1ohm, and the amps are at the speakers, not in the headunit.

There's one way and one way only and it involved a really expensive PAC adaptor. Incase you wanna do it still..... the model # is PAC-ROEM2.

The adapter is not that expensive. Its 40 bucks or something...worth it! if you want to keep the quality...but there is nothing like BOSE so unless there is something wrong stick to it.

Yes, the HU is marked "Bose" to indicate it is Bose amp equipped, but it is a Clarion HU.
