Dieing battery
Just replaced the battery 2months ago in my 90 vette. This past week I didn't drive my car for 2 days. Then Thursday went to go start the car, it didn't want to start. I did notice noise coming from the tape deck. Like it's continuously running, it does it often then stops and would start again. I'm wondering if that's enough of a parasitic drain to kill the battery

If it's a brand new battery, I would say yes. Do your self a favor and get a battery tender like I did, so even if you don;t driver her for several weeks, she's always charged!

Also time to ditch the Bose tape deck and get a double din!

The only issue, is the car stays outside under a car cover. As far as the radio goes did u do it or u had some one do it

They were 6 inch round Alpine in the back and 4 inch in the back, which fit perfectly in place of the Bose, and I left the old amp in just not hooked up. You also need to look into replacing the carpet speaker covers with speaker material like I did, what a difference!

Double din is merely the size of the radio, a single din would be like a normal size aftermarket stereo and require an adaptor plate to flll in the empty space and the double din would fill the entire space of your old Bose radio.
