C6 Rear Speaker Upgrade
I have the bose system but want a little more out of my rear speakers. Any suggestions of a simple upgrade ?

infinity speakers are pretty reasonable and really sensitive so it'll make the most out of the power that you are giving them. but why do you want to hear the music behind you? how about improving the speakers up front instead?

Changing the rear speakers will give you very little, nearly nothing actually. My '06 vert had almost no output from the rear speakers, though an '07 Coupe I've heard had quite a bit more. Whether that was changes in the setup in the model year or the difference between the coupe speakers firing into the B pillar panels vs the vert firing into the trunk I don't know.
The one speaker swap in a Bose setup I did(3.5" Infinity Kappas in the doors & dash) produced only average results. Certainly better than what was there before but my impression was adding real highs to the system made the midbass hole in the Bose setup all the more obvious. And there's no getting rid of that with only a speaker swap.

On my '06 I left the stock NAV head but grabbed line level out and added aftermarket amps & speakers.
