Hey guys,
I have an 04 Silverado crew cab with the bose system and the driver side door speaker is starting to go bad. Instead of paying for an overpriced replacement bose speaker, I'd like to upgrade both front door speakers to something aftermarket. I am looking at purchasing some Infinity Reference speakers because they are 2ohm and will match up with the stock Bose amp. I already know that replacing the bose amp is ideal, but I can't afford that now or in the near future. I know everyone will just say to wait until I can afford to buy a new amp and 4 ohm speakers, but keep in mind that I am not really looking for an audio upgrade, more so to replace my bad speaker and figured the Infinity References would probably sound a bit more clear and crisp than the stock bose speakers and cost less, even if I run them on the bose amp.
My questions are:
1. How easy is it to swap them out for someone with no experience? Any good guides out there? Will I need any adapters or anything?
2. Will it mess up the chimes and all that?
3. Will I hear any improvement in sound quality going from stock Bose to Infinity Reference on bose amp?
Thanks in advance.
