hi
i got a z and i dont know what type of sound system is in it. It came with a panasonic deck.

i guess my question is how do i know what kind of speakers and amp i have without opening the car up?

 

Good lord....

Wait, wait... concentrate... it is coming to me... wait... peer into the magic ball... I think I see something... wait.. no, its gone.

You might need a tarot card reader.

 

well aside from the sarcastic reply, do the bose systems work with aftermarket decks?

 

look behind the drivers seat, if it has a Bose cover you have BLOSE! Bose will not work with a deck, as the Ohms are .05 I believe which is lower ohms than typical other speakers!

 

Bose works just fine with an aftermarket headunit. Actually it works much better(still not good though). All you need is the right adapter which is like $20 from crutchfield.

 

Oh come on Iron, smile. Your first post didn't have much to go on, no?

Hay, I have a Bose and can answer some questions for you. BUT, you stated there is a Panasonic deck, I thought installed. So if there is some Bose in there is already mixed with a diff HU, no?

Maybe if you explain more, we can help you out more.

a) what HU is installed on the car right now. Post a pic if possible.

b) look behind the driver seat. Is there a sub there? OEM?

c) State year and model of the car (example, mine is 03 Touring, comes with Bose stock).

The more you can provide, the easier is to help. Otherwise, we are all guessing.
