my rear speakers and my front amps are blown... if i were to get new speakers(non-bose) would they hook straight up to the bose head unit? or does it need the amps(wich wouldnt work with aftermarket speakers)? or if i get new bose speakers and get a new headunit later will i be able to just use the bose speakers (bypassing the amps)?

thanks
Tony

 

bump need to figure this out

 

NO

YES. it needs the amps, they will not work with aftermarket speakers.

You cannot hook a new headunit into the bose system without a convertor. Your best bet is ripping it all out and going all aftermarket. Or replacing the blown BOSE equipment and adding an adapter for additional amps\sub bass.
