Bose Speaker Upgrade

[KYDMAX]

I finished up my winter break project to replace all the factory Bose speakers in my truck. I started with replacing the 5” center console sub with an 8” Kicker L7 in a custom Rodney’s box. That is driven by a JL Audio RD500/1 amp getting signal from a NAV-TV M650-GM most50 bus converter. All the other speakers utilize the factory amp and sound amazing. I have Memphis audio PRX27 speakers in the dash. They are advertised as 4 ohm speakers but actually measure 2.5 ohms where the factory dash speakers are 3.2 ohms. I went with Infinity Kappa 693.11i 6x9’s rated at 2 ohms for the front doors and Infinity Kappa 62.11i 6.5” speakers rated at 2 ohms for the rear doors. I used roughly 30 square feet of Kilmat to insulate all 4 doors. Sound is waaaaayyyyyyy better than stock Bose speakers! The new speakers are still driven off the factory Bose amp though. I highly suggest using a FH-168 speaker phase detector as I learned the hard way you can’t trust the wiring diagram that was given to me by my local audio shop.

I think he was referencing an eBay seller.  It’s a sub box that installs underneath the center console if you have the floor mounted console.

Here's an E-bay link to one of "Rodney's Boxes" with box, sub, amp, and wiring.

Search his other items. He sells just the box for around $150.00

I'm very confused about this post. So you changed the dash tweeters to midrange speakers with no tweeter? Doesn't the highs/tweeters rest in the dash? Where are you highs coming from after taking out the tweeter?

Also your sound deadoning seems counterproductive as most will tell you, you should fill in a holes in the panel as best you can to create a box of sort in the door for the door speakers.
