Hey Suk, I installed front Bose speakers in my hatch. It was completely plug and play. Now all I need is the tweeters and rears.

Better sound quality over the stock one's for sure. My only concern was the strain it would put on the factory deck. I was told the OHM's were different.

most of the time the bose components are 2 ohms and stock is 4ohms. might shorten the life of the built in amp in the headunit. flipdady how long have you had yours on? any overheating on the backside of the deck?

If the Bose are 2 Ohms, doesn't it mean that the deck will have an easier time of driving the speakers. The load is less than the stock speakers.
