Default Are the Bose Speaker **REAL** Bose speakers?

I just bought my H2, and next week will be installing parts of my old stereo system into the H2. I will be running a 200w Alpine amp, and an Infinity Basslink 200w subwoofer in.

What I am wondering is, are the Bose speakers real Bose quality speakers? The reason I say that is, back in the day, I bought a Titan with the supposedly upgraded Rockford Fosgate system. $1200 later, the head unit was found to be an Audiovox with a RF nameplate on it, and speakers that were complete and utter JUNK. It was not real RF stuff but stuff that was put in "under license" with RF.

If they are worthy of being switched out, what have people been using? I think I am going to keep the stock headunit in for now and add an Ipod adapter, also. Any suggestions?
thanks
tom

Hey Tom,

Unfortunately the box I saw in the garage was for one of my Boston AMPS[:@]

I just bought a new HU! An Eclipse AVN6610 : to replace my AVN2454.

http://www.eclipse-web.com/avn/avn6610overviews.html

Should be here within a week, then I'm taking it to my car stereo shop for the install. I'll find out from them about the speakers as they did ALL of my A/V work!!
