spec of OE Bose speakers?

Not sure how great an idea that is, T. - the main problem is typically with the amps, which are integrated into the speaker assemblies: replacing the speaker, which is probably already pretty well matched to the original equipment won't necessarily buy you much.
Better to install an after market amp, dump the stock speaker/amp assemblies & sub & replace those with quality components to match the new amplifier. You can retain the stock head unit for aesthetic reasons on the console however.
There are many suggestions you can find on the boards as to what equipmemnt to consider and you'll end up with a much nicer audio system.

Hi.
I don’t know the spec of the speaker but a recently took some shots at my speaker and enclosure that shows part numbers and some measurements.
One local audio shop told me that BOSE are special and that no new speakers have the same triangular baffel. If you find out impedance and any suiting element please post here.

I found that stock bose actually sounds ok in NSX... dunno why. unique acoustics? When I took out the speaker and disassembled it.. it seems that the speaker is pretty old fashioned .and the housing design really sux.. thinking would it be possible just to "modernize" the speaker..
by the way. anyone could identify which ones are power , which ones are sound signals from the black red yellow purple orange green wires? I know the red and green goins from amp to speaker. Trying to do a project here

What's "wuts"?
BostonNSX could have made it a pun and said "watts the specs"

Good luck looking for an after-market replacement at that impedance!!
dang thats very low imp..
It is not that difficult to modify the exsisting pod to fit an MBQuart or other quality speaker. Then add a tweeter in the upper door panel above the side vent. You retain the exsisting head unit and add a quality amp in the trunk to run the system. You can keep the factory sub and sub amp if you prefer not to do the full mod or I can make you a fiberglass enclosure and sub package.

I just completed mods to my sound system much like Andy recommends. Used a Memphis Audio ST300 amp in the trunk and MA component series speakers in the doors. Mounted the speakers in the existing Bose enclosures and located the tweeters in the little plastic panel in front of the window vent. Kept the existing sub in the passenger footwell, disconnected the center speaker. Used line-out converters located in the trunk to convert the stock head unit speaker outputs to RCA inputs for the amp. Had to shield the speaker wires for the run through the engine compartment to get rid of the alternator whine. Sounds great.
It's a nice way to upgrade without having to replace the OEM head unit.
