Over the Bose system
I've read most of the stickies around the 6.5" conversions in the C6. My question is this..... can I run four regular speakers (Polk, whatever) off my Pioneer F900BT headunit and be ok? Do I have to add an amp?
Looking for the simplest decent sounding system possible. I already have the headunit running through the Bose crap speakers and amp. Sound is blah but honestly I'm not precise sound type of listener. I popped a Bose speaker so thats the motivation of my question.
Thanks

Kenwood KAC-PS200T amp to run the 5 1/4" rear speakers in my Vert.
I had an old pair of JBL speakers so I removed the tweeter off of them and added it to the rear (not yet amplified) with a crossover and it sounds pretty good with the bose speaker. I can't wait to try out the amps. They just came today!!!!

I'm going to add a new post to see if anyone else has had better success. I was given this idea by a member of the boards that said the sound would be much better...

> replaced the front 3.5" with a pair of Infinity 3.5" and kept the Bose 8" and crossovers.
I didn't think aftermarket 4 Ohm speakers were compatible with the Bose components that are 1 or 2 Ohms. A 4 Ohm speaker on a 1 Ohm output is not going to put out much sound. Are you running an aftermarket amp to the 3.5"?
