If I wanted to get 'drop-in' replacements, how could I use the Bose amps with those speakers? I'm going to leave the question open-ended for now, since you guys will probably respond with some info I hadn't even thought of.

After I do the drop-ins, I'd probably add a self-amplified sub, or perhaps a sub with a small amplifier. The goal is to make the installation simple and straightforward, and without a lot of investment.

Thanks!

 

For direct replacements utilizing the amps to their potential and not risking overtaxing them you will need the following:

FRONT
4 ohm tweeters (powered from the main amp)
.5 ohm front mids (powered from the front door amps)
4 ohm center speaker (powered from the main amp)

REAR
2 ohm components or coax (powered from the main amp)

The rear configuration is easy. The front, however, would be a little more tricky to attain. I think most people have just been putting a good set of 2 ohm components in the front, running off of the front door amp, and have been satisfied.

 

Any recommendations on what speakers I could get? I'm going to leave the center alone since it seems a pain in the *** to remove and replace.

How about the power? Am I going to be okay running on the Bose amps for the fronts and rears? Much obliged for any help!
