no, i dont believe so.. i havent verified, but from my understanding theres a 10" speaker in each door, and then 2 6x9"s in the rear deck.

I'll complicate this discussion a little further and ask whether the 6x9 rear deck shelf speakers are 2 way or 3 way. I suspect they are 2 way, woofer and tweeter combination with 3.5" midrange speakers in the rear seat side panels. Ultimately the Bose SOW is very impressive indeed. I just came out of an 05 Acura RL which was a bose system as well with the 5.1 DVD-A. There are so few audio DVDs out there and the cost of them really didn't make it into a major feature for me. I definitely like the MusicBox too, something unavailable on Acura models. (for now!!)

I would assume they were 2 ways though,.

There is a difference between the head units. The bose has a 24 burr brown d/a convertor for cds. This alone makes the bose worth it to me. Adding the bose in after the fact will be the biggest pain that you could do. You would be better off going with something aftermarket of very good quality and you will have better results from it. Don't get me wrong the SOW system is good, but it can always be better.

My question now is....does anyone know if there's a difference in the head unit, probably is even though you can't really see it from the outside. Point is if i can find the bose speakers somewhere and replace them in my door, but i know that probably won't work that easy. Can someone with the BOSE system confirm how their speakers look if they have ever opened their door? Or if you plan to change ur speakers/open your door to take some pics whenever you do.
Thanx in advance.
Thanx in advance.
and a 1" soft dome tweeter in the sail panel. The sub has its own dedicated amp and wiring while the mid and tweeter use a common wire with high pass filter (cap) at the tweeter.
All drivers in the Bose setups are nominal 2 Ohm. You can substitute 4 Ohm drivers but the Bose amps will not drive them to any volume. Currently I'm running aftermarket amps on the stock speakers and already the sound improvement is substantial. Honestly, the only reason I would recommend the Bose SOW setup over the base would be the high quality DAC's in the head unit; the additional wiring to support aftermarket amplification and the sheer number of drivers and their locations.
