So is your system the Bose, or the standard?

And if it's the Bose, I'm confused about replacing the Bose speakers without using a signal processor like the MTX re-Q or JL Cleansweep, combined with a new amp.

I thought you couldn't just replace the Bose speakers with aftermarket speakers because the Bose amps' output impedance started out at 4 ohms and dipped verrrrrry low across the frequency spectrum, and any aftermarket speaker would cause the Bose amp to clip early and burn out fast.

So, can you just replace the Bose speakers with 2 ohm aftermarket speakers and make no other changes?
