Replacement Speakers for Bose C5
Amazon seller kept me waiting almost a month for the ROEM-VET1 bose adapter only to cancel the shipping label. It was already overpriced and I can't even find another one. I already have my Joying unit from China so now I've got to look into speaker replacements.
Does anyone have any recommendations? Brand, sizes? They don't have to be super duper audiophile speakers but they should sound about as good as the current bose unit and be easy to install/fit properly.

I have the same question - and am also curious if there are crossovers or some type of amplifier in the doors, between Bose head unit and Bose speakers, that need to be bypassed/removed when replacing either the speakers, head unit, or both?
I was going to replace OEM head unit with a single DIN Sony high powered (built in amp) head unit, but Crutchfield says it won't work with the "amplifiers in the doors".

Great - does this unit do the same as the unit mentioned in the initial post above? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

there are dozens of posts on this. I did hertz in the rear, audiofrog and subwoffers in the door.

I think it does, because the description says :
- R. A. P. (Retained Accessory Power) function is retained
- Retains the amplified door woofers with the use of a differential line converter
