Bose/Monsoon in Grand Prix

platoon5 — Sat, 14 Mar 2009 23:56:49 GMT

I have a 99 Grand Prix and i was looking to hook up either a bose or monsoon system in my car. I was wondering what kind of re wiring i will have to do to make this work. Can I wire the amp straight into my alpine head unit or is there a different way that it has to be done.

Thanks for any advice

I have 98 jetta with bose speakers and a factory amp and a kenwood headunit.

Im thinking about getting some subs.

Im new to car audio.

My question:

Can i leave the speakers powered to the head unit and just buy a 2 channel amp for a couple subs? The head unit puts out 50 watts per speaker.

Or should i get all new speakers too?

Bose AM-5 Series II as rear L&R for 5.1

Opening Boxes I packed over 6 years ago.... Finshed off a room in the basement, might as well set up home theatre.

I have an older Bose Acoustimass 7 planning to use for LR &C speakers and subwoofer, and also have an older Acoustimass 5, Series II - Can I use this for the rear L&R speakers and gain any benefit from the second subwoofer? Neither subwoofer is powered. Thanks in advance.

Which Speakers for my system?

I have a 2003 Chevy Silverado Ext Cab with a brand new Kenwood KDC-X991 head unit, factory Bose speakers, and 2 10" Memphis subwoofers with a 500 watt Memphis amp under the back seat. I listen to hard Rock, Metal, and Industrial music very loud, all the time (NIN, Static X, Metallica, etc..). My Bose speakers sound good and clear but do not get very loud or deep. I am looking to replace them with some high quality component speakers. I have narrowed my search down to either Infinity Kappa's or Polk MOMO's. These two brands seem to be the best on the market from what I have heard and read but I may be wrong. (Also, I believe my front speaker size is 6 1/2" and the rear doors are 4x6"). My HU has the most customizable audio features I have ever seen...for example, I can specify the distance each speaker is from my ears, vehicle type, various frequencies, dBs per speaker, and about 100 other options, so I want speakers that will make the most of my head units capabilities. I plan on purchasing an amp for them but Im not sure how the amp's RMS should compare to that of the speakers. Also, most of the speakers that will fit in my rear doors have lower wattage ratings than my front doors---so, if I buy a 70x4 channel amplifier for all my speakers but the front 2 are 90w RMS and the rear 2 are 40w RMS what will happen? Will the front speakers sound awesome and the rear speakers blow, or what?

I appreciate any help you can provide.

Thanks,

Adam
