See today's post about replacing Bose speakers by OzzyC4. Sounds like you have a lot of winter time projects planned.

I just finished replacing my radio , quite a bit of work. I used Pioneer deh-p77d and all pioneer speakers. The radio is advertised as a direct fit for bose but still had to grind a small area around top side to make fit. I used 5 1/2 in doors and 6x9 in rear. Ran new wires and pilled old stuff out of doors. I also added added a 12 disc cd changer, put it in the storage compartment behind seat. I wanted something that sounded good, didn't have to rattle the car next to me, and i'm very happy. I bought everything but changer from ebay. probably have $400 in system but it if you went and bought from someone like crutchfield would probably cost around$7-800. Lot of good info under audio/electronics forum. If i can help just pm me.

nope. There are no adaptors that take the aftermarket head and make it work with those bose speakers.

Sorry.
