    good idea but wuldnt someone want the wiring too? cuz that would be key to install the complete system/upgrade. if i knew where all the wires led to from the amp, and how much of a p.i.t.a. it is to take out, and hook up, then i would be able to sell them easier, or just use them myself. from past experience with aftermarket speakers ive been let down alot. cheap speakers avail. at my stores out here would be vr3 and boss and i hate vr3's quality, they dont last and sound good. boss is okay i hear, but havent bought anything from them. besides them, the good names like sony and alpine and so on are quite expensive. i just like they way the bose sounds and would be satisfied, just need some info on them, at least how to get the harness out or some pinouts so i know what wires can be cut, where they go to and so on.

    What is expensive to you? For me, I think $50 for a set of speakers would be cheap, and that's the Alpine range. This is one of those things where you get what you pay for -- if you spend $20 on a pair of speakers, don't expect them to be very good. Also, I wouldn't buy Sony, but my friend has them and they sound pretty decent for what they are, though I'd still recommend Alpine over them.

    P.S. Don't try to make a frankensystem out of some of your Bose stuff (this means the amp too) because it's all proprietary and tuned for the stock setup afaik.
