They often have weird impedances.

I’d just stick with some half decent pioneers/alpine/infinitys

The bose speakers will more than likely use a different connector, if any at all. A lot of times the gm bose speakers just use spade plugs like normal aftermarket speakers, and they have their own special adaptor to mate to the gm body wiring harness. It should just be a straight swap, but your factory HU may not like it. Like was stated before, bose speakers often use 1-2 OHM speakers, delco units usually like 4 OHM, sometimes even 10 OHM speakers.
