Not sure you need to do this...the OEM system sounds more than adequate unless your in to ear-splitting levels.
But...you should be able to pull that info off the various drivers if they have any kind of info tag attached.

Thanks. I may have to tear it apart to figure it out. I was hoping to have all the stuff before so i dont have to leave it apart long.

I have a few speakers that sound blown so i figured ill just replace them and while im in there change as many as possible. Im kinda a self professed audiophile lol i feel the mids are lacking and the lows are almost non existant.

The mids definitely are lacking in the Bose speakers and it’s unfortunate there is no adjustment in the sound system settings. It’s very apparent in EDM music. Adjusting EQ from iPhone helps a bit but still sounds a bit off. Though I feel the lows are acceptable.

Then again, “No highs, no lows, must be Bose”

Sadly Bose systems are almost always proprietary and don't play well with normal audio components. Your best bet would be to replace everything past the head unit.

The bose system is good for certain types of music.. Anything like RAP or 80's pop does not hold up on the bose system. JUST MY 8 CENT HEHE

Didnt you do something like that? I have all the amps from my mustang still. I wish there was an aftermarket harnass adapter for our car.

So for the first time ever I had both windows open, the moon-roof open, and the radio on a HD station while cruising on a busy street at about 30mph. Marilyn Manson's cover of Personal Jesus comes on and the bass shakes the rear view mirror very violently. I didn't turn the radio down because...

I read eveything i could find on both forums but i didnt see anywhere the ohms or sizes of each speaker were verified. I will have to open it up and measure all that. 😮‍💨

No, I haven't bothered with doing that in this car. It's good enough for my 9 mile commute to work. LOL

Buy or ask a friend for a flashlight and ohm meter and then measure. I bet there 8 ohms since they are parallel connected thus dropping the effective results to 2 or 4 ohms to the deck which is pretty standard. But IMO having had the best sound possible in my G35 Coupe, rip it all out and start over.

I got a fluke and everything i need tools wise its more about time and motivation, ill probably rip it all out. This will be the 5th car i gutted and my wife wants to gut me at this point 😆

So im wanting to replace as many speakers as i can with premium aftermarket speakers.

Does anyone know the spec of each speaker on the bose premium???

Sizes
Impeadances
Wattage (rms)
Decibels maybe?

As much info as possible to be educates enough to replace them like for like. Appreciated wat what ever you guys have! Im also going to build and install a custom sub box eventually.

The specifications don't much matter. Go to a reputable dealer and look into JL Audio speakers (IMHO, they're the best). they'll give you the sizes that you need and configure it with an amp or amps that will fit your speakers perfectly. I have JL components and co-axials in my garage that will go in as soon as I can afford it...

Better Sound out of Bose Premium Sound

I've watched people share their thoughts both positive and negative on the Bose premium system in the Q60. I've rebuilt or tweaked stock systems for more than 30 years, but the complexity and integration troubles have grown and I don't have the patience for it like I used to. I'm on a mission...

Audio Mods

Has anyone attempted to change out the factory speakers with after market ones. The 13 speaker Bose system, to me, is entry level. I understand that there may be complications due to the cut off frequencies going to individual drivers, timing delays in the factory program and impedance issues...

OEM Door Speaker Replacement- Here's what you are...

After changing the rear 6x9s and adding a RF powered sub, I decided to tackle the doors. I've done a gazillion cars and all I planned to do was to upgrade the 3.5s and the tweeters. Piece of cake. Maybe not..... The panel came off pretty easy. The most complicated part is pulling off the...

The rear deck 6x9s are both 1.8 ohms 36w. Just incase anyone was wondering. I have replacements and adapter rings on the way.
