C6 Bose amp replacement????
Would like to upgrade my stereo and seems amp is needed, someone on forum said they found an amp (maybe pioneer) that fit in the Bose spot as I want to stay stealth, I went to Pioneer website and nothing looks small enough, any ideas??? I have changed door speakers to JL TR350CXI but that did not do the trick.

Bump!
Good question... I am looking for a good solution too... dont wanna spend to much and even would be cool if there are any adapters to connect a regular headunit with the bose speaker/amps... and get them to work like before...
any ideas?

Hi there guys ...
Welll you have a good question there --
Im not sure of any amp that will be of any quality and be small enuf to fit in the pass footwell ..
The BOSE amp is pretty small ...
Also - does everyone know that the amp also runs the Center Ch. ?
It runs everything other than the Woofers in the doors-
Just a thought -
you might want to look into an alternative location - the last one I did - I put em behind the seats -
Good Luck
Alpine has an amp that pretty small ... the MRV f345 nice 4 ch - 75x4

Well... I guess that might not be an option for you then - unless the pass seat can be put up alittle-
There really isn't all that many options otherwise ..
As far as the wiring goes ...
You are keeping the Factory Radio , right ?
Wellll youll need an adaptor to get you a usable low level signal - SoundGate makes some nice stuff - The XR4 i think -
If you loose the Center Channel you can just run the 4 channels to the Doors and rears ...
Hope that helps
