Bose front speakers.

I picked up some Bose front speakers out of an sei today at the jy. Can I use these with an aftermarket head unit (Sony) and no other Bose factory components? If not, if anyone wants to buy them, they will be for sale.

I think they get into the nitty gritty of all that in this thread (www.3geez.com/forum/showthread.php?t=78855).

Fixed your link, Snooz.

Yes, they will work. Don't turn the bass up too much. You don't want to throw a bunch of frequencies at the drivers that will just make them bottom out. Since you're dealing with quite a bit more power than anyone with a stock unit will, you've gotta keep an ear out for distortion.

Cool well I'll try them out tomorrow. I don't blast the music too much, only every now and then, but if the factory speakers have been able to handle it I'm sure these will too.

Did I mess it up? Sorry about that. And thanks.

If they are 1 ohm they will not work.
I had a sony deck once, I hooked up an extra pair of speakers to it (2 ohms total load) and it kept playing, but after turning it off and back on it would not play until I unplugged the extra speakers.
