So I found a mouse nest in the back of my Camaro a few weeks ago, it was under the drivers-side plastic panel tight up against the factory subwoofer. I cussed a little, cleaned it all out and scrubbed the carpeting. Last week I noticed the sub wasn't doing anything anymore. I knew this was more than a coincidence, so I took apart the sub box and found the problem. The little bastards chewed up the coil wire on the speaker. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/banghead.gif) I know bose uses different ohms rating on their speakers, so I can't replace it with just any speaker. I need another Bose speaker. Anybody have one laying around they'd be willing to part with?

actually, Bose use a 2ohm impedance, vs 4ohm for standard audio.
you can still put a 4ohm... sound will be cleaner and just not as loud.
you can hook aftermarket speakers and it'll sound nice.
a known good system is to keep the stock hu and replace the speakers with Alpine SPS-170A
