Rear Deck Speaker Upgrade?

[dirkdiggler]

Are these rear deck speaker setup things worth installing?

How much are they worth generally?

This is the large sound-bar thing that slides into where the rear storage compartment is.

The one I am looking at has 2 speakers on each side/corner....totaling 4 speakers.


I have a Old school SOUNDSTREAM Rubicon 5-channel amp I am thinking about installing.

If I buy this rear speaker thing, I will run the 4-channels to the rear speakers and the upper front dash speakers.
The I will run subwoofer Channel bridged to qty2 6.5 inch subwoofers located in the doors.

Think this will sound decent??


I just dug out my old car audio stuff I paid alot of money for back in the day. I also have 2 more amps if anyone needs one?
These are old-school amps that many consider superior to the modern junk that is sold.

ALPINE 5 Channel = $125

SOUND-STREAM Rubicon 404 4 Channel = $150

Just throwing it out there cause I have no use for them if I am going to run my 5 channel soundstream.

anyone have one of these?

If so, how much did you pay for it and was it worth it?

If you bridge your fifth channel - ensure that the amp and spearkers are capable of running at 2 ohms.

Also not sure if you would need to amplify the rear spearkers, they are only for a very smally amount of fill. That being said, would be handy to be able to switch them to high pass and set the gains indepently (although I can do this with my headunit, most modern quality units can)

Otherwise sounds good. Goodluck!

Thanks bud,

My 5th channel is a Sub-woofer channel so I was going to run that too the 6.5 door speakers .... figured they would put out the best bass.

The rear deck speaker thing I am looking at has 4 speakers total.... are they all full range speakers or tiny subs or ????

If you are talking about the Bose rear speaker deck, it has 2 subs (5" I think), and 2 VERY small 'full range' speakers (like 1.5")

Here is a Pic of the one I bought to try out.

All 4 speakers are 6 ohm each ...... and all 8 wires from the speakers are wired down into only 4 total where they connect to the amp.

Does anyone know what impedance/ohm this will give me at the amp??


Any help is appreciated?
