Happy to help. Perhaps you two can help me. Approximately how many ft of power/ground wire and speaker wire did you end up using with your stereo overhauls?

I’d say it would be pretty unlikely. Here’s what the internals of the BOSE box looks like. You might as well fabricate something from the ground up if you’re going to try to use a huge 10” driver.

Double Din Stereo Install W/Amp and 3 ways

Nice to know there are trolls on these forums too.

Anyhow, my price remains $250 obo with buyer paying shipping and fees. It would be ideal to find a local buyer here in the SF Bay Area.
