[QUOTE="Doxquzme, post: 8859352, member: 689267"] Nice, well, can't say that either would be "too" much bass! As for the impedance ratings, I would wager that all the speakers are 2 ohms. Moving to 4-ohm speakers would effectively reduce the power to the speakers by as much as 50%, not usually anywhere near acceptable in an OEM setup. I run my 3000-watt@1ohm stable sub amp at 4 ohms but it puts out over 1000 watts at 4 ohms, you don't have that luxury, so to speak. Unless you upgrade the amplifier(s) to something more substantial, you will need to find 2-ohm speakers to replace the ones you have. The Bose amp is designed to put out rated power at that 2ohm resistance rating. If push came to shove, using 4ohm drivers in the dash would be the preference over the other way around, still not desirable if you can avoid it. If I recall, Kicker and several other companies make 2 ohm 2-4" drivers that will fit in the dash locations, just have to check it out. [/QUOTE]
