Front doors-yes, with special adapter rings; rear doors-are there any holes there in first place?

Default front can fit most 5.25 with the MB quart adapters (or you just have a stereo shop make you a ring),

rears are 6.5" (i had my installer make an adapter ring because there was never any speaker in there to begin with (I took out the rear deck speaks.)

On Avants yes. You can cut them really easily though on a sedan.

probably would see minimal difference; I'm sure the BOSE is tuned to have a 4" driver up front.

Default Im not sure, I was going to change everything except for the stock head unit.......

I think with BOSE in most other cars, you have to change the entire system, as they are not really friendly to upgrades...but im not sure in our cars...
