Hi,
I had asked this question in a slightly different context before, but sadly received no replies. Worth another shot perhaps ... I am fitting an after market head unit into my 2005 SL350 and also replacing the BOSE Amp with a 5-Channel JL HD900/5 Amp. I have received some (limited) advice on which OEM (BOSE) Speakers to connect to each JL Channel, but a second opinion from somebody who has actually done it would be useful.
I am fully aware of the impedances measured across each BOSE speaker and how they are wired in the vehicle. I also appreciate that I may need to re-wire some of the speakers because there are more speakers than JL channels. Can anybody offer an expert solution on which speaker to connect to each JL channel and whether specific speakers should be connected in series? Also, did you connect directly to the 0.8 Ohm subwoofer or do something else?
Pleased to receive an expert opinion - many thanks.
