Default Upgrading bose speakers

I got audi a6 2001 with bose. The speakers are deteriorating and i was wonderin what i should switch them with. i know they are 2 ohm and so is the amp and i actually did manage to find 2 ohm components (infinity kappas). does anyone know if this will be possible and if so an improvement?

Default I would like to know as well...

I am also doing this. I am going to replace them with these speakers:

and just wire them so that it works for the amp and then try to get them to fit.

Default Re: I would like to know as well...

yea they look ok. the sensitivity may be a little low. i dont know that much but if its 4 ohm and not that sensitive it may be soft. but on the other hand theres a ton of power. The amp is 200 watts i thinnk so im guessing 50 a channel.

Many makers lie about sensitivity anyway...and you can only compare speakers of the same impedance.

Default For the most part, the sensitivity number is not comparable across different brands.

There are so many ways that the manufacturers measure it that you have to look at the spec very closely to see if their even measuring the same thing. Most times, they aren't.
