Hi all,
I've always been disappointed with the stock Bose speakers so was looking to upgrade the fronts. I'd prefer just to replace the speakers and run them off the existing head unit - not looking to add amplification unless i really need to.
From researching I've found the standard speakers are 2 ohms. Im looking to replace them with JL Audio C5 splits which are rated at 4 ohms, with a decent sensitivity of 90dB. I'm assuming the head unit will be able to run these new speakers easier than the OEM Bose speakers because they won't draw as much power. But will the stock head unit be able to pump enough power at higher volumes? I rarely have the stereo cranking, but i do like to turn it up every now and then.
So are 4 ohm rated splits going to work off the stock head unit or should i consider amplificaiton as well?
Any help much appreciated
