Normally I see BOSE car audio as original equipment supplied option. It may exist but I have not seen BOSE automotive sold as aftermarket items.

There have been several folks here that have done speaker upgrades. We are running JBLs. Other have tried other brands, each with their own successes.

I hate to do this but you may need to search a bit.

Are you planning to accomplish the swap yourself or have it done by a shop. The front speaker swap is not too bad. There rear swap is more involved but not impossible. Some installs have used no adapter rings to fill the speaker size difference and others, myself included have taken more time and fabricated spacer rings to better seal the gap around the speakers.

Speakers are a good upgrade, but you might try an IPod first to verify the sound quality. IPod vs oem BRP radio, the radio is pretty bad for sound quality.

All the best with it. You may be hitting the auto junkyards in search of BOSE speakers.

I think that J&M makes speakers that are direct replacements...

I replaced my speakers with JBL GTO 429s and 529s about half the price of J&M and they sound awesome at any speed

If you care, this topic shows how I did the speaker install. We have had them a while and they work well with the IPod. The speakers are JBL 529 and 429. I made spacers rings to seal the speaker box somewhat, and made pigtail adapters for correct speaker polarity.

The speakers sound good and I would put them up against most unless they have a sub or amp.

Check out this post and page down to the speaker mods..

GTO 528 and 428..............these are 2 OHM speakers and it makes a HUGH difference ........I later put GTO 508c's in the rear they are 5 1/4inch and they will fit with some trimming.....and these babies really ROCK .... This comment was from Blueknight
