996 Speaker dead - few questions

[scb71]

Greetings all. I recently received a replacement amp from a stellar fellow 996er - skiracer - (free! since he replaced his with aftermarket) and that fixed a totally dead channel for me. However I have found that when the old amp died it apparently didn't go it alone - it also blew out the mid range speaker in the passenger dash. The tweeter works still but the mid has nothing at all. So here are my questions-

1- Does anyone have an old dash speaker that they are not using? If not I will try a rear speaker if you have one of those. Actually if someone has replaced their fronts but reused the speaker housing I guess I just need the mid range speaker (looks like a small woofer) if you happened to keep it.

2 - Will a Bose speaker work with mine even though my originals were the "upgraded" HAES speakers. The grill appears to be the same, but what about the ohm and the wire connectors? If so I wonder if that might not be a cheap mini-upgrade while I am at it.

Thanks
