Factory Bose speakers, how many ohms?
I have a 92 with the factory Bose speakers does anyone know the ohms for these speakers? I can't find it anywhere on the speakers. I'm thinking 4 but I have heard some are 8. Thanks in advance!

If you are planning to use an aftermarket radio or amp to power factory Bose speakers, don't. The Bose amplifiers have a special equalization curve designed specifically for their speakers, and if you use those speakers without those amps, they are horrid.

I believe they're 6 ohm, but they could be 10 like the factory GM speakers.
I tend to agree to not mix up the system.
