You need to bypass the Bose amp, and replace the door speakers with 4 ohm ones.

The easiest way is to replace the loom - or at least the plug - in drivers kick panel with a non bose one.

I'd remove amp anyway - it takes up a huge amount of space in the boot.

Speakers, there is limited depth, so your choices are limited.

Moving to ICE/Electrical section, as you should get more advice there...

Make sure you replace all the vauxhall speakers, as the BOSE ones are not standard and may easily blow the head unit if connected up to them.
