i installed crossovers on my rear bose speakers using capacitors my estimate is that the crossovers were high pass at about 185-190 hz, if anyone is interested i have a pair of them for the rear, and would be willing to sell them if anyone wants, just let me know

 

did you install these for all your bose speakers or just the rear? The rear's in my max put out a lot more bass then the front's. how much is the bass cut when these are in w/regular stereo settings? I'd like to do something like this for my front mids.

also, when you say "high pass at about 185-190 hz" did you take into account that the bose speakers are like 1/2 ohms? just wondering...

 

just the rears, i didnt bother with the fronts since i didnt notice too much distortion coming out of them at loud volumes with the bass up / half way. the bass cut is pretty large, i noticed a big difference right away. the basically become strictly mid range speakers.

as far as the resistance of the bose speaker, they are "rated" at about 1 ohm but they test at about 1.8 - 2 ohms, and this was all taken into account when i did this
