Bose Speaker Question

05Yukon · Jun 8, 2008

Hi,

I have a 2005 Yukon SLT with bose and I have a pair of polk coxial speakers that I pull out of another car and was wondering if they would sound better than the factory speakers? Will the bose amp be able to give them enough power?

Thanks

Now I could be wrong on this, but I think the Bose speakers have their own amp in the speaker, so if that is true, you would need a separate amp all together.

They have there own bose amp, but its under the center console. No amp in the speakers. I just replaced my speakers but I'm not running them off the bose amp. But the quality and everything is way better of my amp vs the stock. Way louder and clearer.

That makes sense as they don't spend a lot of money on the components for amps, in this case after market is always better if you want to spend the money.

My infinitys sound good off the stock amps, I was able to pull all the bass out of them and by disconnecting my stock sub the amp sounds 10x better. No more clipping and it gets pretty loud, still not the clarity I'm accustomed to but it is above average for most people. The 2.65ohm impedance is what helped mine stay loud, 4ohm might be too quiet or try disconnecting the factory tweets.

So do you think it will be worth it to replace the speakers? The polks are 4 ohm. I know they may not be quiet as loud as the factory speakers but should sound better than the paper factory speakers.

anythings better than paper

Am I missing something here thought the amp and the sub for the factory are a one piece unit?

so the amp was able to be removed from the sub to drive a better system ?

They are in the same location, but are not one item. The sub is in the center console under the dash. The amp is located under the storage container.

so the amp can drive a better sub then i would assume or is it still better just to get an aftermarket amp all together and tap off the wires i need to covert to an rca output ?

Can you adjust the setting on the amp? I just put in a jvc double din deck and even on the lowest setting the music is too loud to talk to passengers.

Slow down. Paper is actually very good. Its the perfect lightweight material for vocals. Its main downfall is its durability at high power.

If you cross them just right they produce great soft tones in the vocal range. 500-1000z.

There are just better built paper cone drivers than stock....lol

The bose amp can't be adjust except by the radio. There are no dials on the amp at all. Otherwise it would have been put in a more accessible location.
