Default Bose Speakers (Replacement)

Changing my OEM radio/w NAV to a Kenwood. Should I change out the Bose speakers also? If so, what do you recommend?

Just changing the HU with the proper interface to keep the Bose will sound much better with all the sound equalization that comes with the Kenwood. I have a Kenwood with a JL sub, and still run the Bose speakers but tune the bass out of them. It sounds really great, however upgraded speakers are huge improvement as well.

Changed out to a Kenwood but kept the Bose speakers and, by adjusting the equalization, it sounds better & good enough for my 'cruising listening' needs

Agree. Denny's sold me a new Kenwood with all the necessary harness and mounts. Easy to swap.

Sounds 10 times better with the Bose speakers.
