Yes. Especially, if you're replacing your factory sub. This sub also works well as med range speaker. I replaced my factory JBL sub which blew in my Ford Explorer with this sub. Which was garbage compared to this Kicker.

Only if your Bose amp was originally driving a 4ohm load. Which is unlikely, as many Bose drivers are between 0.5 and 2 ohms.

Depends on the amp, though anything by Bose I would imagine would have plenty of power.

No they are not powered, I use a crown XL2500 amp and I get that concert sound out of them that I need for my live music.

the speakers are not powered they require an amplifier you can use any amplifier/receiver it doesn't have to be a bose.

you will need an amplifier to drive these... but they are amazing when you do.

Yes, id bridge the speakers so u would get the full power out of the Amplifier.

They fill the room equally, I am very contented with the purchase. Sound much better with much pricier Bose or other systems. I have paired them with an Onkyo receiver and bi-amped them. I dont know your application but I dont think you have to be right in front of the speakers to experience great sounds quality.

Yes I was impressed with the quality. However I don't have a amp that puts out enough power to drive these speakers properly.

If your using quality speakers the power from this unit delivers incredible sound.

You need an amp. I doubt that your TV has a powered output capable of driving the Bose.

You can run them without . That's what I'm doing now but it you what clearer and louder sound you'll need an amp

These are great speakers. I am using them with my home Stereo. so they would need an amp.

No they're passive speakers. You will need 'powered' mixer that also acts as amplifier.

You will need to purchase an amplifier to drive passive speakers or purchase powered speakers

Yes but you have to have an external amp or receiver to power the speakers.

Thanks for your question. These require connection to an amplifier inside the house to play. They do not need to be plugged into a power outlet. I would need to know more about your Bose system to know if these would work with it. This is a fantastic sounding speaker. World Wide Stereo is 35 years old and a very proud Boston Acoustics dealer.

Absolutely. They deliver plenty of clean power in the full range. I have no need to use an equalizer to balance the sound.

As long as they are 8 ohms and 90db efficiency or better. Don't expect ear-splitting volume, but should sound very lush!
