Stereo compatibility?
I have a parts 94 car that has a nice factory stereo in it with the amp in the back storage compartment.
Can this system be moved to my 92 convertible without too much hassle?

I think what you are seeing in the rear compartment is the radio receiver. On the '92, the radio receiver is located behind and above the passenger side kick panel. I think GM moved the radio receiver in '93.
Each speaker has its own amp; the unit in the dash is just a head unit.

If both are Bose I believe the only change is the color of the buttons on the bezel face. They would both need to be Bose I believe or both would have to be the base systems. I don't know that you can mix Bose with non-Bose car or the other way around.

I believe it is either Bose or nothing. Supposedly there WAS an adapter made but they don't make them anymore that allowed you to use non-Bose speakers. I did toss everything out and left the wring since I was going to rewire.

OK I got most of it to work already.
The CDM on the 92 is under thd dash and is a bitch to swap. The 94 is in the hatch and much easier to access.
Last concern I have deals with the speaker amps that are marked conv and coupe. I wonder how much different the sound will be.
