Suggestion
They are also rubbish, and Bose's mantra is to add a lot of signal processing to achieve decent sound quality, so you very quickly end up replacing the speakers.
Leading evidence: 'Use options and get the best deals' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Replace speakers' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

Suggestion · Original poster
i've seen ways to splice in bluetooth etc but has anyone just gone for it and replaced the whole lot to put in a more 'normal' setup?

Suggestion
The Alpine amp can detect the impedance of the speakers and I aim to run the door and woofers in series.
These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

So, my 996 has the MOST fibre network stereo. i've seen ways to splice in bluetooth etc but has anyone just gone for it and replaced the whole lot to put in a more 'normal' setup?
Yes, have done this twice. Its not to complex to do, but to do seamlessly is quite a lot of time - but looks and works well. The very large plug on the BOSE amp has all the speaker wires on it, and there are a few locations you can choose to mount a 4 or 5 channel amp, and there are conveniently small ones. I have a mile of diagrams if you need them and where to source the bits. Keep in mind that the Bose speakers are 2 ohm. They are also rubbish, and Bose's mantra is to add a lot of signal processing to achieve decent sound quality, so you very quickly end up replacing the speakers. If you have a factory sub, you take out the 4,567 screws holding it together and convert it from two speakers in parallel to two speakers in series as I think its 1 ohm naturally. There low impedances will really be too low for any amp you can buy that i've ever heard of
I'm in the process of something similar, though I've not got a MOST system. I've done all the speakers aside from the sub and an Alpine 5 channel amp is next, paired with the Android HU, though I don't know if that's staying. The Alpine amp can detect the impedance of the speakers and I aim to run the door and woofers in series. There's an article on CAI on how to do this. Wish me luck.
When I was a kid I had an unhealthy interest in car stereo stuff. Back then the better American Amps were stable down to 1 ohm I believe. I had a Pheonix Gold m50 which was the bigger version of the m25 - the one below. However I wouldn't necessarily recommend one like that today.

I would love it if someone here could list the components they used. I'm potentially going to have to rip out my radio/amp/changer from my '03 996 which has MOST & Bose. The amp appears to be dead.
There are a lot of old posts and videos but I'd love a current guide or suggestion on newer stuff which will fit into the car without hassle. Specifically bypassing the amp wiring without hard wiring a new one in. Is there an adapter out there for this? Main reason is to keep the stock speakers for the short term as I'll attempt the work myself and don't particularly want the car in bits all summer.
Thanks
