I seem to recall that one "fix" for the horrible FM sound from our 2k2 SE's Bose system is to replace the tweeters in the A pillars.

Now we've added a Sirius reciever w/FM modulator (because we want to retain the stock look) and the improved highs would really make a difference.

Any recommendations on what tweeters to use?

Thanks...

u can replace the tweeters even with the Bose amps? I thought the Bose amps run at 1ohm and aftermarket tweeters can't handle that?

you can change out the tweeters with no problem. check out this thread for more detailed info:

sorry for so many messages...but one more question...

the 2k2+ Bose systems have individual amps for each speaker set right? and the amps run at 4ohms?

how many watts are running to each speaker, what size are they, and what ohm is the subwoofer/amp

I know all about the 4th gen systems, but I just got my 5th gen...thanks for the help!

when it comes to audio equipment i am lost. i have no clue what the specs are on the BOSE system. i do have the BOSE and you dont have to get an adpater at all. all i know is that the tweeters i got come with a crossover so that the tweeters do not draw anymore power from the speakers decreasing the sound. it does sound alot better!

the install was a joke. i had no clue what i was doing until i took off the pillar. you will see the tweeter bracket and then the wire that just plugs into a little plug. you just pop off the tweeter and cut the wire before it goes into the plug. then just connect the tweeter to the crossover and the crossover to the wires leading to the plug. i just used some strong double sided tape for the tweeter and shoved the crossover in the dash. you will see how easy it is once you take off that pillar.

I had my tweeters switched by Don, makes a world of difference on your highs.

Get the Polks. The Bose tweeters sound like they're stuffed with dryer lint. I put the EX3500's in my GLE and its a night and day difference.
