Aftermarket Deck With Bose Spkrs
ok can this be done? originally i thought you can install an aftermarket stereo deck and it would be compatible with the bose speakers. Circuit City tells me that i cant - that i have to replace the speakers as well because (according to the sales rep) the aftermarket decks have their own amp and since the bose has amps in each spkr it will overpower the speakers. but then i go down to this aftermarket stereo shop and they tell me yes it can be done (mixing deck with bose)......so who's right here?
im thinking brandwise of Pioneers and Kenwoods for the deck
but if i do get the pioneer or kenwood deck AND 4 new pioneer or kenwood speakers, how much better will a separate amp make the sound or will it be good enough without it?

because you did it doesnt mean its right.... the bose speakers operate at a VERY low impendance like .5 - 1 ohm.. so go ahead and run your head to them and watch it smoke under the low load...

I did the search on google and found this;

$54. I wonder how it is quality wise. All along I've been contemplating replacing the head unit of my Bose as well. I was thinking of using the PD4 from www.linkmeup.com, but that sucker costs $150. I am a bit of an audiophile, so wizz bang features is not as important to me as SQ, so features like 24 bit burr brown DACs work for me. . oooohhh baby! And I'd be happy to live without a remote. I just need MP3/CD with a changer or multi CD in dash receiver, like the new Bose in the 02 Maximas.
I've been thinking of replacing my headunit with the Clarion Pro Audio DXZ815MP plus a Bose adapter. I also like the JVC ...SH99 but it comes in only silver, and I want it to blend in (black and wood) with my interior. The clarion has an optional black faceplate and green leds, a perfect match for my car.
What do you guys think of the Clarion and either of the Bose adapters?? I've alreayd heard rave reviews for the JVC . .wish it came in black.

Definately doable
This is definately possible. I have Pioneer Deh-P730 with my factory bose in my 95 max. The guy who installed it didnt even use an adapter. He just spliced the wires!!!! And i have been running this setup for more than 6 mo. Nothing wrong with my speakers yet and they sound very clear and loud compared to my old POS bose deck which skipped every 10 sec. I would say you go ahead and do this and you shouldnt have any problems.

which shop?
i am not very good at car stereos, so i have to take it to a shop...i am just wondering which shop does this custom installation from bose to something else? because i been trying to find one that will do it, but all of them were saying that..it's not doable..i got to swap out everything... .grrr... i live in dallas, TX any suggestions?

Bass blockers are for little speakers and the like
bose in max is all 6" does not require bass blockers
all you have to do is set the crossovers in the headunit to not pound the speakers with lower than 40-50 hertz

Either way you go is complicated.
A) replace the whole systems, headunit, amp, 4 speakers, or
B) Replace the Bose headunit with an afetrmarket unit and a bose adaptor.
Part B is easier, though. The weakness to the bose system is that the 6.5" speakers just can't handle the amount of bass the system produces at high volumes. They produce plenty of bass, but hi volumes over-exert the speakers. It is mostly apparent in bass haevy music like R&B, rap, hip-hop etc. If that's not a problem with you then I would go with part B.

do the whole thing
i would save up the moeny and redo the whole system
factory speakers have a normal life of about 5 years , if your keeping your max for awhile you'll notice they just aren't that great
or just through a sub on it and make the speakers play all highs so they dont get worn out
you do that by turing bass down and rear fade up
