Iam planning to Replace the stock bose headunit and speakers in my 97 SE do I have to run new speaker wires or will the system sound fine if I use the stock wires. Also I have a double DIN HU Stock but the one I am Buying from Crutchield is SIngle DIn Can I buy a spacer or someting to cover up the whole
THanks

 

just install it under the bose...whea the pushout/pulldown tray is...

 

Yeah, you can use the factory wires for the speakers. Just make sure you use the speaker wires and not the amp power wires. Another thing, Crutchfield should sell a universal pocket that will fit under the single Din head unit. It makes a great spot to hold CD cases while the CD is in the head unit.

 

The stock Bose set-up uses seperate tweeters. Does anyone know how they are crossed over, and how the other speakers are crossed over?? I think that the speakers sound fairly good, and would sound better with lots of clean power. I need to know if I can just hook up to the stock wiring, or if I need to dig everything out, and provide passive crossovers for the seperates in the doors.

 

they are not crossed over persay. the tweets just hace a cap inline which cuts out the mids, and the door speakers play full range.

 

After posting here last, I did some reading and found that the amps that drive the speakers run at 1 ohm. The door speakers, seperates, are probably 2ohm drivers wired in Parallel??? Is there a pair of wires behind the stock Bose HU that directly feeds each pair of front speakers? Or is there an amp in the way... Thanks for your help, Tom.
