Is it possible to put a Bose system in a car that came with the premium sound system??? If you have all amps and six speakers, can you plug and play?? Please help!!!

Good luck:

You can't just put the deck in the dash, and plug the speakers in the factory openings if that's what you're asking.
You would need EVERYTHING including all the wires and the plugs, grounds, etc. Sure it can be done, but I guarantee it's a major headache. AND the Bose decks are trash. They are made by Clarion, who makes one hell of an aftermarket deck, but these ones are terrible. Strictly my opinion, but I have been through 2 of them. My 93SE and my 97SE both died after about 60K miles and I know several others on the boards have had the same experience.

Depending on what you are paying for the Bose system, how old it is, and how much you are willing to sweat for the install, I would seek out other options.

It's not worth the $$ or the headaches to try to put in bose. Just get decent aftermarket stuff. It will usually sound better than bose anyway.

I have the Bose system and like it although if it would have come with anything less, I would not get it because of compatibility for one. Buying the speakers alone sets you back alot and you can,t just throw in any ole speakers you find. Go aftermarket and I,m sure with help from these guys on the forum, you could put in a stereo that will kick some major asp. Just make sure you get a good quality speakers because you can have an awesome stereo but junk speakers that even a K-mart roadmaster with Jbl,s would put it to shame.

In my 95 gle that was the firt thing to go, replaced it with a clarion aftermarket unit and phoenix gold amp and speakers. Note, if your car does not have the tweeter pods on the a pillar then a component tweeter can be mounted behind the factory speaker grill on the front doors for a nice stealth look. Mine worked great.
