Bose amps?

Ok, I'm not sure if this was posted before, I searched and searched, but couldnt find anything. Infact, I really didnt know what to search for. If somebody can please give me a link to the previous thread where this problem was fixed, that will be nice, or you can just post here with an answer.

I like my stereo to be very loud sometimes, when I do so the Bose speakers cant take it, because I dont use the Bose headunit, I use a different stereo. But I've been wondering (which is rare in my case, lol), instead of re-wiring the speakers, and connections, and I just simply take 2 wires from the speaker amps (mounted by the Bose speakers) and just use them without the amps? Or do I really need to re-wire everything?

What would you recommend? I do not like messing with wires that can cause something to screw up, infact, I was serious when I installed my subwoofers amp.

The bose speakers have an extremely low impedance (somewhere between 1 and 2 ohms), normal speakers have at minimum an impedance of 4 ohms, usually closer to 8 ohm though. Directly wiring the bose speakers to your amplifier risks damaging the amplifier, and at minimum blowing your fuses.

I know its been covered, I remember reading it the first time I came to this forum, but I forgot what I searched for, so I didnt see the right things I searched for.

Thanks though.

i am about to buy a maxima '99 with BOSE speakers..i turned the speakers up and...it honestly didnt sound all that good..alot of treble with little bass.

ALSO the car has this big speaker setup in the back trunk, and the owner of the car said he was going to keep it cuz his friend gave it to him...or maybe it belonged to the original owner of the car which "pimped the car" out and he just is lying to me cuz just want to keep it? what can i do/say?
