OynxSTS Posted June 18, 2006 Report Share Posted June 18, 2006 They are not really compatible. You can upgrade to the Bose system but this requires replacing all of the speakers and adding an external amp to the system.

The Bose sends it's signals to a similar, but NOT the same receiver (no amplification) which sends its line level output to the specially tuned Bose speakers, which each have bulit in amplifyers To use the Bose, you need the correct trunk receiver, then you can take the line level outputs from this receiver, run them through an amplifier of your choice, and send the amps outputs to the speakers. email me if you decide to go ahead on this. I have a spare correct receiver that I will sell to you for $100, priority mail included. Working recievers are getting hard to find as their has been some attrition. I am sure you paid way less than that for the Bose unit, right? Jim in Phoenix Jim in Phoenix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone replaced thier radio by going to double din? Where ( besides Crutchfiled ) could I find all the correct speaker sizes to replace on an 03 Seville non-BOSE?
