i bought a used speaker from a fellow member to replace a blown one on my 96 (front/door)

so i pulled the door panel off yesterday and the speaker said "NOKIA" on it not bose
and the wiring was different
on the 96 speaker there was a place to plug in the wires coming from the deck, and then a place to plug in the wires going to the tweater above.

i just spliced them all into one plug and installed the BOSE speaker, sounds fine..
what do you guys think, is everything ok in your view???

there is an additional bit of hardware that makes that connection.

the deck says BOSE when i turn it on......so i assumed its bose

Kris Hansen

door for the phone? if not, you do NOT have the Bose system, just a deck coded for Bose(which is easily done with a VAG COM).

torontoaudi

nothing on the door panel, where is this speaker....in the A oillar, then yes

Kris Hansen

It's in the door panel, a bit above the audio speaker.

can i have the tweater and the 1 bose speaker
wired in together like this
i have another 3 speakers also
should i wire them in also to replace the nokia ones?

Kris Hansen

if the high pass is built into the old speaker, and you bypassed it, you are going to be feeding too much low end to that tweeter, and could blow it. Also, by putting the Bose driver on a non bose system, you have a difference in the impedance from side to side, which will cause an odd sound stage.

well it sounds ok for now, lets see what happens, thanks
