97 Maxima, just looking to replace speakers
Well, the reason he asked (I think) is because of two reasons:
1. The stock HU has no built in amplification, each Bose speaker has its own amp.
2. The amps on the speakers will have trouble powering aftermarket speakers because the amp is made for 1 ohm speakers and aftermarket speakers are mostly 4 ohms. They will work, but will be so quiet that I doubt they will be loud enough to listen too.
So basically you have two choices...replace the HU also along with the speakers, or get a 4 channel amp and an adapter for the HU so that you can use all 4 new speakers.

and about your set-up....i don't even think u can do that (replacing only 2 speakers) for 4 aftermarket speakers u need amp and bose adapter that is around $70 i think.

Actually he can if he uses an aftermaket HU and the adapter. I think Crutchfield has them for around $50.
I want to do an upgrade too....but just the HU cause i want to add satalite radio and my bose cd player isn't working any more. the rest of the system is just too expansive. i am already going to spend $1000 just for that, and that's "maybe" if i can get HU i want for cheap.
