Thanks, i would choose bose too but what if my current broken Speakers are HAES? Will BOSE be compatible in terms of wiring or so ?

What if! Why would they be any other speakers other than Bose speakers.

Depends on if the car had the bose system, otherwise probably haes. With no door speakers or apparent bose logo he probably has the later.

Do not go Bose! If all you want to do is upgrade the dash speakers replace with some herts or Alpine coaxial, you can either cut up the old speaker to diy a braket or order mout for I think $30 from CAI audio.

You could go focal, depends on what you want to spend.

I did complete upgrade did 3 way components amp and finishing a subwoofer mod using bose footwell sub from 996 cabriolet. Pulled the bose and installed 8” pioneer.

I digress, easy to open the dash speaker and check type. Will hold up to a 4” easiest is use a coax. Watch the depth.
