Disconnect the stock speakers, cut the wires, install new terminals and connect to the new speakers. The speaker wires are already where they need to be, no need to even worry about the amp.

I think you misunderstood Mr. Jstklntm - he meant "just hook the wires from the amp to your new speakers".

.....and don't worry about the amp.

So, now who's silly?

Anybody know the amps going to the speakers once i get them in there? I think the minimum for the infinity i have my eye on have a minimum of 10 or something... So i should be ok i think

You all have eased my mind.... with a little KY Jelly I'm going to get this done

hahaha thanks felas

Any 2 ohm 6x9 speaker is a perfect drop in replacement for the Bose rear deck speakers, just use the existing wiring harness and off you go. I've got a set of infinity speakers as well (i got the 2 ways), and they make the sound a lot cleaner, but I didn't notice more range or bass response from them. I suspect I'll get more oomph out of them when i get my Arcaudio amp powering everything.

You can replace the rear deck speakers in an hours time. Be careful removing and instaling the rear deck covers. you can bend/ break retaining clips, or just not get them back into place right and they'll rattle terribly.

First of all, stop putting so many F'ing periods in your posts. I can't understand what the F you are trying to say, so I'm pretty sure nobody else can either. Try using complete sentences and maybe the responses will be more complete. Then if you don't understand something, ask for clarification instead of asking if someone is F'ing silly. I may be silly, but I do know how to hook up some stupid speakers to a stock amp. I also wear big red shoes, a purple afro and can honk my nose.

Good Luck!!!!!!!!!!!!
