anyone have any recommendations for new speakers? i blew a rear but i might as well go aftermarket on all 4. theyre gonna be powered by a rockford fosgate 300 watt amp

(the speaker blown was a stock bose speaker)

 

Don't know... The two times I've looked at Crutchfield's (who is supposed to be THE place for the right equipment), they didn't list the correct stuff. When I had my old BMW 320i, I was looking for some better speakers and the ones they said fit my car would NEVER fit. Recently, I was curious what they would have to say about Bluetooth/GPS Headunit for my C230. Their website pointed me to standard size rather than double DIN units. Hopefully, there will be better information elsewhere.

 

With Bose it is not, apparently, as easy as just replacing speakers.

 

Just buy another bose speaker or redo the whole stereo

 

only thing stock on the system is the bose speakers (has a different headunit, subs, 2 amps), i rewired them to my 300 watt amp and they worked fine until today when my buddy blasted my system and blew one. i wanna get aftermarket speakers for the 4 doors so im asking if anyone has a recommendations on speakers that are good and will sound good powered by the 300. thanks guys

 

Sorry to hear about your speaker. I'm always the type to have low volume. Very contentious of my ears. Plus I listen to talk back or classic radio when I do. Funny enough, I never listen to laud music but went to one bar concert and developed tinnitus :-(

 

I would just get another Bose speaker ... best in the business

 

I love my polk audio components great aftermarket speakers. I have the DXi6500 in front and DXi650 in rear.

 

did you have to run new wires for those and how did they fit?
i wanna use a speaker that can use the existing wiring, just swap em out
(if i recall correctly the speakers are at 2ohms)

 

I redid my whole system with amps, HU, and speakers. I believe their are some Polks that are a straight fit. You can contact them and see which ones.

 

nope, that would be me

 

michael what are some good, cheap speakers that will fit with no modification or rewiring ( i know that i have to cut the stock connector off and crimp the new one, im talking about the wiring from the speaker to the trunk) i was thinking component speakers in the front and regular speakers in the rear. not really sure where the crossovers would fit though.
