ok so my rear bose doesnt work. im tired of it and i take out my radio check connections all ok. i check the amps, its all good. so im like ok ill check the speakers. i finally pull the seat off and i get to them and.... WTF?

 

plain ol wear and tear thats wat it looks like 2 me

 

it's just busted. from my experience the quality of these speakers isn't the greatest. the fact that they were installed in '95 probably didn't help much either . on all 4 of my bose speakers, the surround separated completely from the speaker frame and the cones of the rear speakers were very brittle, i guess from constant sunlight exposure. the only way i'd be able to listen to anything was by turning the bass all the way down . i replaced the entire system with infinity components though and will never go back. if you want to keep the bose you can find another pair in the classifieds section of this site, a lot of people have bose speakers they're trying to get rid of. check with fanaticrockford.

 

nah im going with pioneer all around. i have my pioneer double din just sitting here for like 1 1/2 months. just havent gotten around to ordering my speakers again since i canceled them (im broke) lol! but i wouldnt think they were that bad!

 

OK so i hated my stock 6/5 bose so i brought 6/9 speakers in the rear kappa infinti to replace so i got pics if u like take da back seats out da board n cut dat bad boy wider sounds GREAT now nxt is 2 10inch subs to replace them oh n you dnt have to rewire ur entire car cuz u hav bose system i easily bypassed that

 

well i know u can cut the power wires on the connectors and just use the signal ones but i rather leave them intact incase i ever want BOSE again. i have 2 spools of 16 gauge monster cable i might as well use!

 

I could honestly be quite pissed.

Why in the hell would you cut your rear deck and metal rear deck framing to house 6x9's? did you not realize that 6x9's actually sound worse than 6.5's, just because they have more surface area doesn't mean there better. 6x9's have more cone flex which means worse bass, and round speakers have way better sound quality than oval ones.

Stick with 6.5" components in the front and 6.5" full range in the back or if your feeling frisky then go components in the back too and mount the tweeters in the c-pillars.

 

im going with 4 way pioneers all around but adding tweeters to te stock locations tho. i like jus highs in the inside and ill leave my bass in the trunk.

 

what?????
I know its early in the morning but...

 

i domt know why theyre arguing now i was jus asking why my speakers were that bad...

 

actually. my stock speakers were awsome, i loved them


anyways, come on guys. pioneers? why? why not go all out and get alpines? it worth every penny....b4 i had poiners in the front, and alpine type-s in the back, and you can hear the diffrence. alpines and much more clearer, and i prefer that. right now i got all alpine type-s speakers that i stole from my friend for $40 and i just ordered a CDA 9885, a epic player if you ask me. lol

 

I love my pioneer 4 ways, they don't pump out a lot of bass but it sounds great!

 

i agree pioneers are a very good upgrade at a cheap price

 

Did you just say Alpines are going "All Out" ???



alpine, pioneer etc = low level audio

 

yep my stock speakers looked like that too. I had Pioneer but, Infinity all the way!!! Infinity all around with tweeters, two Infinity 12"s in the trunk, sounds AMAZING!

 

remember i dont want pioneer for bass just highs but actualy ive been doing research and ive finally found the ones i want. its a 6.5" component set from pioneer, model TS-C160R. 60w rms and 250w max. theyre the yellow cone ones and look awesome. and for $120 a set thats awesome! check em out guys.

 

I replaced my front and rear speakers in my '98 with Polk 6-1/2" mids and separate tweeters with crossovers, 12" kicker subs.

 

theyre paper speakers u cant expect too much out of them after awhile yea theyll blow like that
id upgrade to pioneer speakers myself i had a nice set in my last car thats with 240 rms personally i wouldnt go with polk, just dont really like how they sound, maybe kicker thou go on crutchfield.com and check out wat fits and than from there go shoppin for that kind of speaker, crutchfield is a a good place to start but ull find somewhere thatll sell them cheaper
