Default Newbie Need Help

I want to start out by apologizing if this is an obvious question. I tried to search but didn't really know exactly how to search for it and i also checked out the faq page. Question is how do I know if I have bose in my 2008 C6. In all of my past GM vehicles, the ones with bose said so on the speakers and none do in my vette. However, this system sounds better than anything else I have heard in any other GM vehicle. I was not lucky enough to order a corvette how I wanted due to my buyback from GM I had to take what was at the dealership and I didn't end up with the original sticker Oops! Sorry for the really long dumb question but any help would be appreciated. Local guys at the auido shop said they didn't know after I had them take a look.

Thanks,

Leadfoot88

The speaker grills on my 06 have Bose enblems on them. Unless they changed since then I dont think you have a Bose system.

Also, the fact that it sounds good tells you it's not Bose.

Thats what I have been hearing. That the bose doesn't sound good. Doesn't really make sense to me but whatever. All I know is I am very happy with whatever my car came with. But I guess it isn't bose. Maybe someone with a 2008 can confirm it.

Thanks,

I have a 2008 C6 with the Bose/Nav system -- there is a "Bose" badge on the side speakers.

OFFTOPIC:
You can order a copy of the original window sticker for your car from the National Corvette Museum store for $35/40:

One of the forum members, GMautotech, can get you a GM VIS report, by VIN, for the RPO information for your car. Just PM him with your email addy and VIN (98 and newer only).
