Thanks for the info. I guess I dont understand Bose and all their mystical top secret crap. I know the system is poor and if I were a stereo manufacturer that was supposed to be on the cutting edge of technology I would have not put my name on it. High and mid-range are marginal and the base is nonexsistant. After testing the ohms this morning I decided to take a run at an expensive improvement. I removed the dash speakers and replaced them with MB Quart oak-30 tweeters with crossovers and replaced the door speakers with onx169 6x9's. Both are 4 amp and the door speakers are 60w rms so I still get good volume. It is not ready for any West Coast Customs audio throw down but it sounds 100% better than the paper speakers. The tweeters are clear and crisp and the mid range sounds great. I could still use a little more base but it is ok for the $200 I have invested. I figured the worst that could happen is to ruin the Bose unit and have to replace it, which would have to be done anyway to get a decent sound. I will keep you posted if anything negative happens but for now I am happy. I might put a sub in the spare tire hole and a small amp to power it in the trunk later on down the road if this works out without any problems. I went to the Bose site last night and it was useless. All it said was that they do not rate any of their stuff and let the sound stand on it's own merit.
