C5 Bose Radio
Hey guys, My Dad has a 1999 Vert with the Bose radio. His right front door speaker sounds like it is blown. What are our options? Can we get an aftermarket speaker? Or do I have to find a stock speaker for it?
Also does anyone have instructions for taking off the door panel? Just the location of the screws.
Thanks!
-Jeff

You can replace the door speaker with a 3.5 speaker. You can add amps, you can gut the whole system. The skys the limit.
Post this in the audio section. You'll get more replies.

Trim Panel Replacement - Door
Removal Procedure
To reduce the chance of damage to the trim panel leave the switch in the panel until after the panel is removed from the door.
Lower the door window.
Remove the inside handle bezel. Refer to Handle Bezel Replacement - See Below
Remove the pull handle plug.
Remove the screws behind the pull handle plug.
Important
To avoid breaking the trim panel fasteners be sure to insert the fastener removal tool between the male fastener, which is attached to the trim panel, and the female retainer which is in the door. Do Not insert the tool between the head of the female retainer and the door.
For better sight access to the fasteners start by first prying out the fastener at the rear of the trim panel that is approximately 50 mm (2 in) up from the trim panel seam. Pry out the remaining trim panel fasteners working your way forward.
Lift the trim panel up off the upper retainers and reposition the panel by the door.
Remove the harness connector from the switch.
Remove the trim panel with absorber, switch, and speaker grill.
Remove any trim panel upper retainers that remained on the door.
Transfer parts as necessary.
Installation Procedure
Reinstall any loose upper retainers to the door trim panel.
Position the trim panel near the door and install the switch harness to the switch.
Install the trim panel to the top of the door engaging the upper retainers.
Align all the trim panel side and lower fasteners with the retainers in the door.
Press the trim panel firmly to the door at each fastener location.
Notice
Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.
Install the screws behind the pull handle. Tighten
Tighten the pull handle screws to 6 N·m (53 lb in).
Install the pull handle plug.
Install the bezel to the handle.
