How can i tell if i have a bose and need to replace all my speakers just for a new HU?

I may be wrong but wouldn't it say Bose on the headunit if it was Bose?? Either that or you could look at the speakers in the trunk and it should tell you.

sooo how do i check and see if they are?

open your trunk and look up at the speakers.

you just look and see if they say bose

pretty much.

Ok i have a sony HU. but in the manual it says hook it up to only passive speakers. Well the girll covers in the back say active speaker. Will this still work? when i hook up the speaker wire no sound comes out. Whats the problem

anyone on that last question?!

If I am not mistaken, the Bose speakers have their own amplifiers built into them and are not compatible with your aftermarket Sony stereo. I asume you have a 1999 or older Maxima? (it doesn't say on your profile).
