C4 Stereo Issue
Hi all,
This is my first post but I have learned a great deal from everyone on this site. One day, hopefully, I'll be able to help others as many of you have helped me. Anyway, I inherited a '92 convertible from my uncle. He had the stereo head unit replaced 3 years ago with a JVC KW-R935BTS. Everything operates fine but the stereo doesn't get very loud. I'm assuming that's because the JVC is 4 ohms and the rest of the Bose system is 1 ohm. Would my best bet be to replace the speakers with something compatible withe the JVC and go directly from the head unit to the speakers bypassing the amps? If so, would I be able to cut the speaker wires going to the amp and splice them to the new speakers? I have installed car stereos and speakers before but it has always been more straight forward than this so I'm trying to figure if I can do it or I need to go to a pro. Thanks for your help!
