So my driver side door speaker blew and I wanted to replace both with Cerwin Vega 65 speakers. I think I know the reason for this but wanted additional advice. I replaced the blown driver side and the Cerwin Vega speaker works but it really quiet, even compared to the passenger side that still has the working Bose 6.5 speaker. Cerwin Vegas are top of the line speakers and these speakers http://cerwinvegamobile.com/vega65.html push out a lot more then those Bose. So... is my problem that the Bose amp not pushing enough power for these speakers, or???

The bose speakers are about 2 ohm. Your aftermarket speakers are probably 4 ohm, so the original bose speakers would actually be seeing more power. Unless you swap the speakers out to 2 ohm aftermarket, they will remain this way.
