Thread: how do i know if i have BOSE in my GP?

just as the title says folks... how do i know my 2001 GP GT has BOSE? is it really that simple to where if the speakers says BOSE on the front grilles, then i have BOSE? if it does have the BOSE amp, where would that be located? i wish it were as easy as my TBSS, there is an RPO code in the glove box "UQA" which means we would have BOSE...

my driver door speaker started to have some static sound to it, so i know it was blown... i took off the door panel today to investigate, put everything back together, and now the speaker and the tweeter dont work.. coincidence? or did i clip a wire or circuit somewhere? i have spare sets of factory speakers outta my TBSS that i could use, but when i plugged the one in, it was inop too... any ideas...

thx

I nominate this post for the darwin awards.

Amp is in trunk between speakers.

i'll have to look for the amp then,l because the speakers do not say BOSE... and by my count, i only have 6 speakers.. 2 rear, 2 in the door, then the 2 tweeters...

Oh usually it says Bose on the grills on the doors like in this pic.

Yea, mine don't look like that... so I dnt have to worry about an amp then... I'll still look though, I've seen weird things from GM in the past... my SS being one of them... stereo would flash BOSE, had the RPO code in my glove box, but alas, I didn't have BOSE or the amp...

If it was used, someone could've stripped it. :P

My GP or my SS? Lol...

The grand prix was my moms and she bought it off the showroom floor with 3 miles on it so I know what's in it lol, the SS was slightly used, had 9,000 miles on it when I bought it, was only 11 months old... I doubt someone did something that fast to it while still being in the warranty period but again, weirder things have happened

As was mentioned, look for the amp. Don't bullsh... I mean bose equipped GPs have 4" speakers beside the 6x9s?

Yea, I'll be looking for the amp... IIRC I only have the 2 6x9's back there...

For anyone else, any ideas on my driver door speaker.. I haven't had much time to troubleshoot it, but it was working before I took the door panel off, just sound like ish... bujt now its cmpletely dead

There was an option with the 4" speakers without bose as well, but im pretty sure all bose had the 4".

Just look here.

I meant the SS. And newer gives even more reason to, well for some people. If they think someone won't notice, they'll strip it.
