Re: aftermarket radio with delco bose speakers?

speakers are probably 2 ohm. easiest solution would be to not use the bose speakers and get some better sounding aftermarkets. or, use an aftermarket amp that will easily connect to your head unit and is 2 ohm capable on each channel.

Re: aftermarket radio with delco bose speakers?

Delco-Bose speakers are essentially an amplifier and speaker built into one. The easiest way for me to think of it is in reverse. If you have a Delco-Bose head unit, you can take the speaker outputs directly INTO an aftermarket amplifier's low-level input jacks (the red and white RCA style jacks), just like any aftermarket head unit and separate amplifier then to regular old speakers.

Crutchfield has an inline adapater for this problem. About $40.
