D2 BOSE rear parcel shelf speakers question

The 3cm high range units are in the top of the door just deal with high freqs.

It would be interesting to find out the cross over frequencies at the amp to see what frequency range they feed each speaker but I did find this:

"Bose does not publish frequency specifications. The reason for this is
that we believe that such statistics do not add very much to an
understanding of an audio product's acoustic characteristics and, even worse,
can be misleading....... [more waffle]"

You'd almost think he knows what he's talking about!

(And if you ever see the speakers he has in his living room, you'd think so even more! Most of us don't having a living room big enough!)
