Here's the deal with Bose Systems. The system is specially eq'd to match the bose speakers with the car that they are installed in. New speakers might sound better, or they might sound worse. If you are willing to pay some extra labor, you might be able to find a store that will install the speakers and let you listen to them before they put the interior back together. There's also the impedance issue with some bose systems. Some use 4 ohm speakers, some use 1/2 ohm speakers. The 4 ohm systems will work fine with aftermarket speakers. The 1/2 ohm systems will lose a considerable amount of volume and sound quality with aftermarket speakers.

Yes, but it's hard to predict how it would sound afterwards. Bose systems in those vehicles often use low impedance speakers; replacing them with 4-ohm after-market speakers would reduce the power output from the amp. The factory system also has built-in equalization and crossover settings that are designed for the factory speakers. If you have a damaged speaker that's rattling, your best bet might be a factory original replacement.

KaeZoo is right. However, I can't stand Bose systems. If you can afford it, you should replace the radio AND speakers. You will also have to pay additional labor rates for rewiring to bypass the facory amp. I would do it anyways.
