Speaker Upgrades?
 

I'm looking to replace the front door speakers of my 1998 Maxima SE that comes with the Bose system. Does anybody know of any speakers that could replace or upgrade from the ones in my maxima? Preferably looking for only plug n play kinda work needed

You can try crutchfield. Just put the vehicle info in and search the available speakers. They also have helpful phone reps to answer any questions you may have

The Bose head unit sends low level signal to individual amps mounted to 1 ohm speakers. Either keep it all stock or change it out completely.

IIRC, there's one or two more that do the same thing, so SEARCH. Hopefully 4th Gem Clarion/Bose has not timed out for aftermarket support.

Cause if you replace any component in this "SYSTEM" to anything other, everything goes sideways.

So I gotta get 1 ohm speakers if I don't wanna deal with the bose mumbo jumbo?

If there is such a thing. I see 2 ohm available, power output would be reduced. They may not sound good with the Bose radio and amps but who knows. It's a can of worms trying to adapt anything to Bose.

No... You need a COMPLETE REPLACEMENT! It's not just 1 OHM speakers... It's also the POWER AMP that's built into the Speaker assembly that would be gone too. And nobody makes aftermarket amps at the right wattage at 1 OHM..... The Clarion Head unit only puts out signals like a preamp. And it's adapted to the ability of the speakers and not a flat frequency response.

jeez louise

Yeah, you will basically need to gut the entire system and re-do it from scratch. It sounded pretty great when they were new, but now it's a giant PITA to work on.

Alpine speakers all the way. My maxima had the same alpine speakers since 2006 and has been blasting all the way still in excellent condition. We have a clarion equalizer and and the Alpine tweeters as well as a capacitor.
