I have used Boston Acoustics and my current CDT's.

The Boston Rally's I used didn't hit the window without the spacer even.

 

Looks like I'm gunna take my chances and get the speakers and spacers and see how things turn out...

At least this way the next person who attempts the JL speaker setup will know about the outcome in advance.

 

New question... On the non-Bose stereo, I see the stock setup has a speaker and a tweeter in the front doors, are the [6.5"] speakers in the doors a "midbass" driver? If it is, do I have to get components, or can I throw a mid or full-range speakers in there?

 

i just put some speakers in my sedan, i got Infinity Kappa's. the fronts are component, rears are one piece. they fit without spacers, im thinkin of gettin them so that they meet the panel anyway
how did your setup turn out?

 

Can i use bose speakers to the base model to replace the front ones. off a coupe 06 ?

 

Please english a little harder, your question is unclear.

But, the speakers are interchangeable, however the bose speakers are poorer quality speakers than the base model speakers, so don't do it for an upgrade. If you're doing it to just get something that works and you're getting the replacements dirt cheap, it will, technically, work. Volume levels might not match either, as the base model speaker has a larger magnet so different sensitivity is inevitable.


Base speaker on the left, Bose on the right:

 

That right there is crazy sad. Why is it that Bose systems from car to car vary so much.

 

Yeah, for what Bose charges for their systems they could actually put quality speakers in and still make damn good profit. Instead they put garbage out and charge a premium for it.

 

Sorry man I wrote it right when I was about to get off work and just needed a answer quick. But you solve it

OK then ill keep looking for some OEM ones, but for some reason they do not come up often on the for sale unless its from ebay but dont feel like dealing with it. I'll see then. Was offer a set of Bose speakers but dint know if it would work since it dint have the bose headunit.

Thanks again

 

Well, the speakers are nothing special. Just pick up any half-decent 4 ohm 6.5" speakers and install them in place of the factory speakers.
