Default upgradng speakers

What would be my best options regarding upgrading the speakers? It's for a coupe w/Bose.
Would a nice pair of Boston Acoustics be wortht he money up front and what about the rear bass drivers?

Default ...

I replaced mine with Kenwood Excelons.... and for the price, they sound great. Anything is an improvement from those so-called Bose speakers. It is a night and day difference. I had mine installed professionally though, because the rears looked like a pain in the ****.

Default Unfortunately, You can't just replace the speakers.

The Bose speakers are unique. They have a special amp rating. And the rear speakers are self-powered. You will either have to add amps with spekers or change the front end. Check out the link.<ul><li><a href="http://www.exelaris.com/ttaudio/Main.html">TT Audio site</a></li></ul>

Default All of them....

I dont know all the sizes/models off the top of my head, I would have to look for the speaker boxes, but I did the separates and everything else, plus an Infinity Bass Link for the boot. I can get back to you on the sizes...

Oh yea, I replaced the lame radio with a Kenwood MP3 unit also.

Default Yup....they're a 1-2 Ohm proprietary design......>>

Most wire in a new rear amp to power new conventional (4-8 Ohm) speakers and a Sub. The Bose amp will not work.
