Message	As Bernie said get rid of the housing. This is what I did, I also went through and got rid of all of the "Bose" wiring as well. I found a place at made plastic plate that fills the "hole" left by the Bose housing and allows you to place a normal 6" speaker in its place. I think they cost less that $50.00 for all four plates (2 door and 2 for the rear) here is the link to the front speaker holder: [ http://www.car-speaker-adapters.com/items.php?id=SAK005 ]
