ok I finally decided to add some subs to my 8, gona use two 10" infinity kappa perfects and there 600w amp. my question is I have the infinity 4ch amp which is 110w rms per channel. would it be worth installing the amp to run the bose speakers . I used to be an installer at circuit city and remember that bose systems usually had a amp on each speaker so im assuming I would have to bypass each bose amp. usually I would replace the speakers too but they dont sound too bad the way they are, I just hate to have the amp sitting and not get used. also I have the infinity kappa perfect 6.1 component system but I kind of wanted to keep them in my old car. so to simplify my question would adding a 4ch amp to the bose system make a difference in either sound quality or how loud it would go?

 

Personally.. I wouldn't add an amp to the other speakers unless I was going to upgrade the speakers.. the subs will help alot though!

oh and I think there is only 1 amp for the bose stuff. It's in the trunk on the bottom of the rear deck between the 6X9s.

 

All rear and center speakers are powered directly by the main amp. The front doors each have their own amp that is fed through the main amp.

 

I wish I had a Bose so I would know stuff like that.. and then I wouldn't sound like an idiot when I make an (non)educated guess.

thnx jst

 

Yep, that way you could be like the rest of us and pay extra for a radio & speakers that you want to remove anyway.

 

I've only added a sub and it sounds fine... put treble at +1 and it sounds very good all around! Tweeters are on the soft side I agree, but that's it...

 

i had 2 kappa perfect 10s with a 600 w jbl amp... it was a ton of bass. i sold one sub and now have 300w in one sub... still pounds. you'll be fine
