Does anyone know where I can buy a Bose stereo and speakers set for an 89 iroc?

The stock stereo in my 89 iroc is garbage. I would really like to find a bose stereo and speakers that would fit. Does anyone know where I could find this stuff?

Thank you.

Factory stereos bring the suck. Why do you want such old technology in your car?

In home theaters,yes.

In cars not so much,my friends Infiniti has Bose installed from the factory and he cant wait to go aftermarket.

(Ive heard it too and while is not terrible...it doesnt stand out from any other factory system Ive heard.)

The only factory system Ive heard that truly rocked my sox off was on a Lincoln MKS.

really? thats suprising, you would think that their car speakers would have the same quality as their home stereo systems

I believe it has to do with mass producing....they have to cut corners at some point if they are gonna mass produce speakers for all the different cars they make sound systems for..... for the sake of keeping the costs down

Re: Does anyone know where I can buy a Bose stereo and speakers set for an 89 iroc?

Does anyone know where i can get a wire harness for my 88 camaro with a bose system.? The previous owner put in different factory from a different car and has everything rigged up all weird. Im tryin to install my aftermarket HU and hook up my system and clean things up a bit. But i cant seem to find a stereo connector anywhere. Thanks.

Re: Does anyone know where I can buy a Bose stereo and speakers set for an 89 iroc?

I actually still have the stock speakers in my 91 TA, i doubt there BOSE but they are actually pretty good, and loud, not blown in the least bit. im not sure if the chevrolet camaros got different from pontiac, but the stock speakers i have are just as good as aftermarket speakers. Ive been in contact with the original owner of the car when i bought it, and he never changed them, i run stock speakers and 2 12 inch subs. Sounds awesome.
