Rear Deck Speaker Upgrade?

[demick]

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?

I sure do enjoy mine. It's a worthwhile upgrade. Dash speakers alone just make me want to turn off the radio altogether when the top is down. But adding those behind your head makes top down music worth listening to.

Cool, thanks....that makes me eager to try them out!

anyone know what the Ohm impedance will be at the amp with qty 4 speakers that are 6ohm each??

I can't tell you without seeing the wiring to determine if they are wired in parallel or series. One way gives you less resistance the other way will double it.

Here is a link with photos to show you how to connect them either way. It would be helpful to know what the amp is expecting to "see" at the speaker connections.

Good luck!

here is a pic of how my speakers are wired.

it this setup going to be at 1.5 ohms at the amp??

My soundstream 405 is 1 ohm stable on the sub channel

the other 4 channels are 2 ohm stable

And the way the wires are already ran thru my car aftermarket I will have to run all these speakers into one channel. there is only one positive and negative wire running to the rear of my car ...... there is a little sub-woofer under the passenger seat that I will be disconnecting to run this sound bar thing.
