Best drop in speakers for doors? Bose

NissanParty

I have a 2019 with Bose system, Crutchfield doesn't show that many speakers fitting and it looks like the best ones are these

Kicker Q-Class 44QSC694
QS Series 6"x9" 2-way car speakers
https://www.crutchfield.com/p_206QSC...94.html?tp=105

Are there other options that I can install easily and will fit in the door, under the stock grill?

I would rather have separate components and replace the dash tweeters, but all of those are 5 1/4 inch and none seem very good. I was hoping to get Focal or Infinity Q or something.

You can't just replace the bose speakers with aftermarket because of the resistance/ohms unfortunately.

I'd be replacing the amp as well! Sorry, I should have clarified that.

Ah well that changes it, there are way more options just doing a 6.5 component conversion which is what I have planned, limited 6x9 options seem to be more$ too. I decided to go with DS18 ZXI-354 3.5 for rear fill and DS18 ZXI-62C 6.5 for the front putting the tweeters in the dash.

Most of my speakers have been Alpine, MBquart, JBL, and Infinity. With Alpine Type R's being my favorites I still have them amped in a 1998 maxima, been pounding them for 15+years. Got the DS on sale so thought id try them out unfortunately I haven't even got to the stereo yet.

I was looking for something along the lines of your second paragraph, MB Quart, Morel (not the super expensive ones, the cheaper ones), Infinity, the DS18 are cheaper than I expected. Are they as good as the other brands you mentioned?

I don't see them on Crutchfield, I know Crutchfield isn't the be all end all but I do like the speaker fitment guide. I wonder how accurate it is. I'd like to keep the stock speaker grill... not looking forward to installing tweeters though, that seems like a pain!

Do you have the navigation within your Bose setup or just the Bose setup and no navigation? Reason why I ask I have considered changing out my speakers and stuff - but not sure how it would work etc - considering I have the Bose and the amp etc. I know there are threads on here where people have done it - but I feel like it might be a lot of work and I'm not the most technical when it comes to electronics haha.

I have navigation, in this thread they discuss where to tap into the head unit preouts

Bose amp bypass?

I also have a few posts at the bottom showing what I am considering.

Thanks man - will check it out.
SOOO many mods come to mind:
1. Nifty City - Tesla Screen
2. Upgraded speakers and amp
3. Fortune Auto Coilovers
4. SPL supporting mods
- already have my power mods at the moment unless I look to go FI

I like my OEM knobs and buttons, our cars are classics! All the new cars have touch screens and less knobs, and most horrible of all.... SILENT ELECTRIC MOTORS!!!

Been a chrutchfield customer since the 90's they are great but you can usually find what you want cheaper, now days I use them more as a guide then price shop. Got really good deals at sonicelectronix.com

I have no experience with DS except for initial impressions which are very good build quality and packaging. When I ordered all the car audio stuff for this Z I didnt know it already had the bose (bought sight unseen) so I have been focusing on getting it sorted out in other aspects that needed to be addressed, custom intake, trouble shooting, supercharger, suspension, diff, trans, brakes etc
