TeesMaarKhan Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 I have a mammoth sports pathy 2007 which i believe has the Bose sound system with all speakers running of a amplifier...now after reading i believe the speakers are all 2 ohms and the amplifier is a set spec and power.....After reading there is not much that can be done apart from installing 2 ohm replacement size speakers.... Is there any advantage to having 4 ohm over 2 ohm speakers? does a replacement Bose or other make amplifier exist that can replace the lets say standard 200 watt amplifier that's in there.....so unscrew and unplug Bose 200 watt 2 ohm amplifier and re screw new 800 watt 4 ohm amplifier in its place and plug connectors..... kinda plug and play replacement 800 watt and then just upgrade speakers to 4 ohm jbl's kappas or what ever matching sizes? wishful thinking? i am sure if that was the case and so easy, china or some after market company would be on to this making these replacement amplifiers so i am quite sure its not as easy as that???? is it possible to remove standard amplifier work out wiring snip connector add crimps and attach it to a after market amplifier and then replace speakers to go with it??? what would be better alternative? what would be a better option? to get decent sound and more bass? 1: replace amp and speakers 2: just replace speakers 3: rewire the whole damn thing and add amp and speakers 4: just live with it as its not worth it??? look forward to hearing from you pathy vets.

ranosgood Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 I just recently replaced my entire Bose system with Alpine and it was surprisingly easy. Here is the summary: 1. Replaced Bose HU with an Alpine double din GPS/DVD unit. 2. Ran RCA connectors under the driver seat for six channels. 3. Replaced door speakers with Alpine Reference components. I used the existing speaker wire in all locations. a. Make sure you put a dampening material on the inside of the doors once the old speakers are removed. I used "Stick and Seal" from Lowes. 4. Replaced the amplifier with an Alpine PDX-V9 five channel unit. I disconnected the factory subwoofer and ran wire to the back for a new sub. a. The alpine fit perfectly in the existing bracket used for the Bose amplifer. Just had to flatten out some of the sheet metal. I used a strong velcro to keep it in place. 5. Removed the third row seats and installed a Kicker pro series 10" subwoofer facing down. I then built a wood enclosure to fill up the dead space and covered it all with a cargo mat. All my trunk space is available. This system is 1000% better! I highly recommend scapping all of the old Bose stuff and replace it with something comparable to Alpine. You will be much happier. Also, I did this in phases so it was easier on the wallet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPB.88 Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Gut it and run new. Bose, IMO, sucks A$5. Easy to run all new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
