Hi all

Just a quick question, how would one remove the factory Bose Sub Box ,thats sits atop the rear deck lid??

I think its pretty simple, but one just never knows with P-Cars.

Thanks in Advance

Paul

you pull off the bose plastic duct trim and there are 2 big head screws under it. take them out and the box comes out

How much does the Bose box weigh?

In order to make the Bose box work, is there an extra amplifier or something somewhere that also adds weight?

My car doesn't have it and so I'm trying to figure out how much weight I saved by not having it in my car.

Regards

Maybe 7-10 lbs? Its not that heavy.

i tried that last night, i though the subs would have been 8"...........WRONG there is 2 5 1/4 speakers in there, i tried to get the impedance to go to 4 ohms.....no luck there the highest i could get them was 1.5 ohms.............i am think i might replace them with a good set , just to see the diffrence...i took pics if you want to see

You can replace the Bose speakers with a pair of Focal 5WS w/o too much effort. What kind of amp are you using?
