My impression from reading on this forum, is that the speakers on the non-bose should be the normal 4 ohm impedence. Should be able to directly replace the speakers for better ones. Not sure if there is a built in crossover or not. Would think that it would have to have something to protect the front dash speakers. Could always put a capacitor in series with the positive wire on the dash speakers to block the base. Crutchfield has got those for like ten bucks and call them base blockers.

HYou do not need bass blockers. OP if you buy a 6.5 componenet set the crossover that comes with them will take care of what frequencies go to what woofer/tweeter. It is recommended you run new wire from the new head unit to the crossover and to your speakers sense the stock wire is so thin.

Thanks for the reply -- I understand that the crossover does the frequency separation. What I do not know is:

1) Do the stock tweeter and woofer receive a full range signal, and they have their own independent filters built-in? And if this is the case, I'm guessing the signal is just split coming off the HU? or

2) Is there a factory crossover somewhere after the HU?

That being said, I am not installing a new HU, and would like to avoid cutting into factory wiring, if possible.

I had my doors and hatch area done in Dynamite...made a difference, however there is a such thing as overkill or as they described to me as, point of little return.

I had a major audio install done...and wow did it turn out great ! and sounds fantastic.

Plan on doing the same to doors and entire hatch area: dynamat extreme with 1/8" dynaliner on top -- then a layer of second skin luxury liner pro...
