Default You could make the stock speakers work but...

you need a adaptor to make the headunit produce the correct impedence for the Bose speakers. I agree with Shep though I would replace everything...the Bose speakers arn't that great.

You know I'm not positive about that one...but wouldn't it kinda defeat the purpose of replacing the radio if your gonna keep the Bose amps.

Better ask this question in the Audio forum.
