Good Morning,
I have acquired from the junk yard the bose system from a mk3. I am trying to justify whether or not I should keep it. I have heard mixed reviews about the system. At this point I only have the in-dash tweeters and two 6.5" door speakers. I understand that the output for the Panasonic stereo is 2 ohms per speaker. And I haven't heard good reviews about the stereo in the first place. I would like to be able to use an early mk4 clarion unit (4 ohm output). However, the bose speakers are rated at 2 ohms. I'm thinking the clarion 4 ohm stereo with the bose amplifier and the 2 ohm speakers would blow up the speakers. I would have to run extra wires to the second set of tweeters in the dash. It all just seems like a pain in the butt. Any input or justification would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Justin
