I have a 1986 iroc that I am driving now. It has the factory am/fm system. I also have a parts car,,1986 firebird with a lot better sound system,,,i think. What do you think? It has 2 speakers in the back seat/sail panel. Looks like a 4x6 speaker same as the ones in the dash,,and, a 4 or 6 inch round speaker below it. It also has a button and slider "gain" on the dash above the a/c panel,,,what is "that" for? Does it maybe have an amp in the car? The system is all stock, but it is missing the actual radio. I have a cd/mp3 player that I will install in my car. The speakers in my iroc are 6x9's in the back,,sail panel. Im not building a 'good' sound system; I just have 'free stuff' in the parts car and I wonder if they are any better than what I have now. Thanks for your suggestion. BTW the cd/mp3 player that I will install "says" 45 watts per channel @ 4 channels and it has line-level outputs. IF; there is an amp in the firebird, should I install it in my iroc?

Someone else will give a better response but I can tell you that you have most likely have a factory Bose stereo in your Firebird. If so there is an amp in your car somewhere, not exactly sure where. Do a search for bose stereo.

i found one of those setups on an '84 trans am,i think
that was only avalible on firebirds-rear speaker setup
had a 2-way 4x6 speaker with a long throw woofer of
about 4 1/2" in a tuned,ported enclosure in the sails
instead of the normal 6x9s.A seperate small amp of
around (i'd say)15-20w powered the woofers,i thought
i heard somewhere those woofers are of a special low
impedance(ohms)of 1/2-1 ohm much like bose speakers
I've never heard one of these systems,but i,d say those
speakers are too small to really rock,so i'd use 6x9s
