Car Forum / Mazda / Mazda Miata / November 2005Bose 4 Speaker Stereo - Static and Volume control
Are there any Miata owners that have the high-end, Bose stereo (2-Din, with Cassette in middle section) and is experiencing blown speaker systems? I just bought a beautiful, British Racing Green, 1999 Miata and it is great excep the stereo. The sound is terrible and the volume control is almost worthless. Any discussion / help on this is greatly appreciated. They were somewhat moisture sensitive. This coupled with noise in the volume control seems to indicate that the car was quite damp for some amount of time. I believe a speaker company makes replacements (not cheap) that sounjd better. I'd suggest that you go to miata.net and poke around in the appropriate section or search. > Are there any Miata owners that have the high-end, Bose stereo (2-Din, > with Cassette in middle section) and is experiencing blown speaker > systems?

I chose to install an original equipment speaker rather than replacing both with matching replacements. The speakers from Mazda are about $170 each. > They were somewhat moisture sensitive.

The problem is that the Bose speakers are much lower in impedence than the standard "OEM" speakers. > The door speakers can be damaged by playing the radio at maximum volume.

Actually, the Bose speakers do not have a "much lower" impedance. Some of the readily available information on these speakers is incorrect. A search on this usegroup will turn up my previous discourse on this subject. > The problem is that the Bose speakers are much lower in impedence than the > standard "OEM" speakers.

Actually, lower impedence speakers make sense from the power standpoint, and the fact that it simplifies (read less expensive) the boise amps design. If you are going to replace the speakers with the standard OEM speakers, something will need to be done with the boise amps. The amp differential inputs introduce another complication. I would like to see an impedence vs freq. sweep of the boise speakers mounted in the door. Things are not always as they seem. > Actually, the Bose speakers do not have a "much lower" impedance.
