RE: Stock Bose Stereo

["FlyinVR6" <FlyinVR6@li.net>]

Hey,
I'm not saying that 99% of GLX's came without the door tweeters, I'm saying
that 99% of the GLX's I have seen do not have working ones. Either the car
did not come with them, or the owners had them removed. I'll resort back to
my original post though in saying that I have not come across anyone that
does have operating ones from all the events, shows, club stuff that I have
been to. I personally have a 96, and mine did not come with the door
tweeters, but I have the rear deck spearate mid-range/tweeter grilles taht
came from the factory. Actually worked out perfect for the Boston Acoustic
Rally Series speakers that I put in there.
Take care,

As I remember it, all of the older GLX's had working speakers back there.  I
started looking at GLX's when there were still a few '94s around.  They (and
the first '95s -- maybe all of them) had tweeters in the rear door.  They
also
had the mid/bass in the rear door -- nothing was on the shelf.  I drove many
of
them from many different dealers -- they all had the door speakers.  It
wasn't
'till I drove a '96 (pre-Bose) that I noticed that the speakers had moved to
the rear deck.

Now, maybe if you are saying that most of the older cars' door speakers
*broke*
or
*stopped* working, fine, but if you are saying 99% of GLXs came without the
speakers there in the first place, I believe you are incorrect.

But yes, I know all of the '96, '97, and '98s just have dummy panels in the
doors.
