Hey Fellow orgs,

I have a 97 i30 and I am heavily thinking about purchasing a Alpine CVA 1005 (in-dash 6.5" head unit/monitor) and replacing my OEM double din (tape/cd) BOSE head unit with it. I also WANT to keep my original 6 OEM BOSE speakers that came with the car. However, I have been told that each of the 6 BOSE speakers has its own individual amplifier. Being that the Alpine CVA 1005 and any other aftermarket head unit usually supplies its own power to the speakers (ex. 45x4 watts) instead of the speakers amps producing their own power for themselves, how can I install the Alpine CVA 1005 and get around this indivdual speaker amp problem, in return letting me keep my OEM BOSE speakers with the new Alpine head unit?

Thanks

 

In the FAQ, there is a post by me that explains what you'll need in order to do this.
