How to know if I have "Bose Sound System?"

So I'm going to be buying a new stereo for my 1991 Camaro RS,and I'll be ordering it CrutchField because they include a wiring connecter pre-setup for the factory wiring. Now the website is asking if I have a Bose Sound System or not. When I go to look at the speakers in the car should I be able to see a Bose logo on the speakers or something?

you would see bose speakers in the trunk in a deck lid cover. and the head unit looks different than the others. the front speakers are in the kickpanels on the floor by your feet, with the tape player, i know at least.

I see no speakers in the trunk or the kick panels. Mine are on top of the dash and in the side walls in the back seat. I assume this means I don't have them?

The Bose systems only had speakers in the front kick panels and in the rear cargo area. There were no speakers in the dash or the rear sail panel areas and there would have been no mounting brackets in those areas either.

So go with the standard system and you'll be fine.
