Found a good deal on a complete HPAS system on eBay. I think it looks very promising. Waiting for it to arrive, I was curious if it would work with rear speakers. Looking at the 986 TSB it sais it's a 2 x 200w at 2 ohm system while the 996 TSB sais it's a 2 x 200w at 2 ohm + 2 x 100w at 4 ohm. Part numbers are the same.

This leads me to believe that I can add a rear speaker setup using the same additional wiring that is used to hook a rear speaker kit to a 6 channel amp?

This is the setup that I am considering: (Going for great sound with OEM look)

- Kenwood DNX8220BT double din head unit w/trieullionaire AVIC kit (that I hope will fit the Kenwood unit)

- HPAS with its high power amp, quality xovers and new speakers (front components and 2x160mm on each door panel)

- BOSE sub box for rear fill and added base (well, rear fill and its great looks really) using OEM wiring harness

I'm aware that I either have to modify the BOSE box or change out the drivers. I will probably to the later. Perhaps with MB Quarts. From what I understand the HPAS speakers are made by Jehnert.de and based on MBs w/tuned xovers to match the cars acoustics.

So my questions are:

- Does this sound like a good setup or are there any flaws in my logic?

- Suggestions on what to do to the BOSE box to complement the HPAS system? Eg. rewire, new drivers, ...

- Can the rear speaker wiring harness (Amp to BOSE box, it's supposedly the same connector as the regular rear speakers) be ordered separate? PN?

On ebay I was watching the system from DSP Motorsports. Is that where you got it?

Yes, that's the one I bought. Have'nt received it yet after 40+ days. The price looked too good to be true, - hope it was not.:(
