Yes, quite successfully. Then you can sell your Bose components to 
fellow listers who haven't quite yet seen/heard the light :)
(not a good way to net a profit though)

See http://www.srv.net/~hah/audi/audio.htm and http://www.srv.net/~hah/audi 
for details.

Polk db series 6x9" bolted right up, in my case. Now the wiring for the 
amplifier took a little time, but quite worth it.
