Stock Bose Stereo

["Rosario, Peter" <RosariP@divinvest.com>]

Chuck,

In my car, 98 X,I have;

2 speakers in the dash.
2 speakers in the front doors
2 speakers on the rear deck
2 tweeters on the rear deck
 --
8 speakers in total.

Is your car different ? Maybe, the speakers are located in different
areas, depending on production date and production plant.

I believe the dash has two tweeters underneath each grille.  I know my
sticker
says 8 speakers... but this was found to be a typo...
