Bose Speaker Replacement
Ok, so I'm getting the picture as to why I got this Vette at such a great price... The bugs are showing up left and right, but that's alright. I'll fix 'em one at a time. So on to the title of this thread. It's a '93 Vette with the Bose sound system. The rear speakers are shot. The front are ok, but may need to be replaced at some point.
So the decision I need to make is this: Bose systems need to be kept all Bose... So are there factory-equivalent replacements available?
Or Option B: Ace the whole Bose system, buy a new head unit and whatever speakers I can shoe horn into the factory locations?
I'd like to get the Bose speakers replaced, unless it'll cost me an arm and a leg... Any suggestions?

I had the same questions about a week ago. I did some reading of old posts and got most of the answers I was looking for. Your best bet is to check out the FAQ in the Audio section of the forum.
good luck with the bugs.

I have a sony explod with pioner and infinity speakers that fit in the bose enclosers that I took out of my 95 and also have the trim piece for radio to fit in the Vette. I took it out to get back to stock. You can have it all for $100. PM if interested.
