2015 CX-5 Speakers issue
Just got my CX-5 a few weeks ago and I am noticing a problem with the two front door speakers. They vibrate quite a bit, depending how much bass I am pushing through them. I have a friend who is willing to install new ones. My question is, do I have to stick with Bose or can I use something else that would better? I have read that anything other than Bose could screw up the system. Just looking for clarification.
Thanks

Personally speaking I'd play it safe and replace them with the same OEM speakers. There are other users in the forum who have changed them with other brands and could help you out if you go that route.

Confused
A friend of mine, who would be doing the work and has done car audio stuff for a while, couldn't believe they were 1 ohm. He said that he'd only seen cars using that low was in competitions.
I'm just an old boomer who used to just wire speakers into the cassette or 8-track and they'd work so I'm confused about this. I went to one site last night that sells audio equipment, looked up door speakers for this vehicle and they came back with 4 and 3 ohm. Basically they said that 4 ohm was the "safe" pick. I definitely don't want to muck up my system but I know I need to do something because these speakers vibrating or "rattling" makes me crazy!

Likewise you match your speaker choice with the amp you are using for the same reasons.
The application guides only give suggestion of speaker fitment NOT working in the system power supply to the speakers.
It has been this way ....well FOREVER!
If you friend was not aware of this he/she does not really know about automotive stereo systems?

if you don't you are more likely to dame your amp which is the main part of the BOSE system, and costly.
