Default Upgrade front speakers..

I'm not satisfied with the sound from my Bose speakers in my 99. Is there a speaker I can install in the doors without any cutting to upgrade the sound.
I want better quality, not more bass head thumpin' sound, to hear over the exhaust.

Bose are amped speakers, unfortunately. Part of the whole Bose system.

There are modules and things available (see audio section) for compatibility with Bose stuff, but your best choice is to change everything out for aftermarket stuff - HU, conventional speakers and amps, etc.

The Bose system is really quite terrible, fidelity speaking. You'll never miss it....
