You could use those Bose speakers, doesnt really matter what head unit you have as long as you are going to replace the factory speakers in your car with those bose speakers and not try to "add them on" to what is already in your truck. Just make sure that the OHM load is the same and not less.

If you want better sound you should just get some decent aftermarket speakers, get a new headunit and call it a day. The Bose speakers out of an H2 are not going to be that much better than whats in your truck already anyway.

Actually they are generally a different load (ohms) rating and I highly doubt you will be happy with the reuslts. Bose speakers are pretty low grade, even entry level  aftermarket equipment will perform better. IMO scrap the bose and get a nice headunit, and some decent aftermarket speakers.

xtreamj is right...bose speakers can be as low as 0.5 ohms, and that could burn out your headunit. Also a set of aftermarket speakers should sound better. No highs, no lows, must be a bose.

My bose system that WAS in my mercedes had 2 ohm speakers not real headunit friendly, the lower the ohm the more power the more heat
If it's not custom, then it's not you.
