I have been looking to replace my MB Quarts in the doors of my silverado with some factory bose. However my truck dose not have the Bose option. I have been looking on ebay and evey once and a while I will find in the description " these will work if you have the Bose system" I cant see why they would have to run on a Bose only system I would think a speaker is a speaker. If some one know something about this please let me know.
I'm not sure but sometimes bose and infinitie systems have 2 ohm or lower speakers...head units cannot handle that low of a load
Bose is designed to work with Bose, Azn is right it is an impedence issue. You can make a much better choice than Bose for a stock system. In fact the MB Quartz is much better than the Bose
