Hi Everyone,
Does anyone know the wattage rating of the Bose 2 ohm front door speaker (16.5cm low/mid range - not the tweeter)?

I've searched through the guides here, asked around on Facebook and - no joy.

Thanks in advance.

Nor sure what the speakers are rated to but I think the amplifier is specced up to 210 Watts

It is (according to the Bose diagram found on this forum). But I don't see how that helps.

Have you looked at the actual speakers

Yes, any labels that still remain are too faded to see.
Except for Links and Rechts.

Any for sale on Evil Bay that might provide something informative

What you seem to be asking here is for someone to dismantle a door to remove one of their speakers...

Can’t see why that is important, just fit some with a high rating if you are going to the trouble of replacing them👍

Nah, your speakers are just as old as mine - any labels will be equally faded. And that is assuming the wattage was ever shown on a label. It might not have been.

Well, from other posts I've read the general consensus seems to be if the rating of the new speaker is too high the amp won't adequately power them. And on the flip side, if they are rated too low the amp will over power them.
But I am looking to replace some - I just like to take more of an informed decision than a wild guess.

I take it you've read the stickies on the subject

I have. The most comprehensive was the Bose diagram. It shows locations, physical size, the range that each speaker is built for, the amp and - it's wattage output.
But not the speakers wattage.

If there is any speaker wattage Info you think I've missed, please let me know.

This looks the one

50W all of them, but fronts says 25/50W

                No, it’s always better to have a higher rated speaker and your amp will power it just the same just make  sure it’s the correct Ohm rating👍

That's fantastic. Thanks a lot.
