Default C4 Bose style upgrade

My '88 already has an aftermarket system, but I don't think the PO changed the amps from the factory set. Anyone have pictures of where the amps are, or what they look like so I can tell?

Also, since there's already an aftermarket stereo in, how hard would it be to change the Pioneer deck to a Sony? Same for the speakers, would it be hard? I've never so much as taken a speaker out, does it just plug in?

swapping decks will be easy

as far as if u have the stock amps or not, on the c4 bose cars there is one amp built into each speaker. easiest way to check is to pull the rear speaker grill and see what u got

That's what I got, haven't gotten around to going deeper than that. Since it's frigid out, I think I'll wait to go further, if needed.
