Replacing the Bose speakers - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

S.hafsmo · 04-23-2020

I've just installed a Sony XAV-AX3005DB (no mods required) and for a moment I could enjoy music once more. But only for a moment, until one of the Bose amps crapped out. From what I've read the market is pretty much exhausted for these, and even the latest Maxima amps are getting quite old.

I am now considering to either install a crossover in each front speaker and use the amp in the headunit (will the 2-ohm speakers kill it?) or replacing the speakers all together.

Are there any good speakers that'll fit in the original enclosures without modifications? Are there aftermarket speaker adapters available?
