I am not that familiar w/ 97 TA but if Bose system than it may be 2 ohms. Base Delco most likely is 4 ohms system.
It may be best to stop by Car Audio shop and talk to an installer.

If different ohms speakers are not interchangeable. I am no electrical engineer but ohms is a measure of resistance in electrical circuit. Speakers are designed based on a particular ohms - home audio, I believe runs 1 ohms, typical car audio (of the shelf head units) are designed around 4 ohms and some "designer label" car audio such as Bose in Vettes, at least C4s, are 2 ohm system.
