hey i jsut got some components to replace my front bose. i took off the door and realized im gonna have a harder time than i thought. Firstof all, howdo u guys mount the new tweeter, do you remove that whole metal thing that the boseone is attached to or just to bose tweeter. also, how do u made the tweeter say in place? lastlly, i think im gonna put thje cross over where the bose amp would be. how do i mount that. this is my first component install and i dont know how you guys keep everything in place.... thanks

i wanna install this 2morrow beforework so quick responces would be nice

 

If you put your crossovers where the bose amp would be you have to run 4 sets of speaker wire (2 per side). I suggest mounting the crossover in your door or let them be in your kick panel. You can remove the entire metal bracket and hot glue the tweeter in place in your A-pillar.

 

Psst..the Bose amps ARE in the doors.

Nipplehead.

 

Ugh, 4th gen, right. So tired.

There is also room where that big foam block is on the door panel. Use some metal strapping to mount it on the door and pull off the foam block from the panel.

 

metal strapping? is the hot glue strong enough?

 

Yes, should be. Get the upgraded stuff from Home Depot, not the craft "low heat" kind.

Metal strapping...pretty flexible, about 1/2" thick, comes in a roll about 6 inches in diameter. Has holes in it every 1/4" inch

 

ok cool ill get everything in theresome how

I want to install my components too I've a non bose. I've two stock wire going to tweeter and the mid. ( I know both wires are not connected to together.so I can't install the crossover there)
if need to how I do get the new rewire speaker wire in to the door? drill a new hole or put it thought the rubber harness cover

 

You have to through your kickpanel to get the wire out of the car. Once you get it outside you can slit the boot and run it into the door.

Or, if you're good, you can isolate the speaker wires before they go through the molex plug in the kickpanel itself...tap there and leave your crossovers in the kick.

I do installs for orgers, for a fair price, and you're local...food for thought...

 

thanks for the help this speaker install is just temporally unit I get my amp

I'll let you install it if I ever get that arc amp from nismo

 

So he is selling it after all .....

 

He changes his mind every other day....we'll see. He's not online otherwise I'd pester him about it.

 

in the 99 ive drememled out enough of where the factory amplifier sits and was able to place the aftermarket JL audio crossover into each door for the front components. If you dont mind taking a trip down to ct ill help you out if you get stuck

 

wat did u use to hold the crossover in place

 

Buying it was the smartest thing hes ever done. Selling it would be the stupidest.

 

Man....

Comon Parag, do the right thing!

 

I'm keeping it.... rest assured even if I don't install it for a year, it's going to be mine... though $500 is alotta money

 

But worth it for that amp .

 

screws... Just make sure the screws are short enough so it wont puncture your windows splash shield.

 

how come i cant just use the stock bose wires?
