I bought my 2000 Seville SLS used a couple months ago. The head unit says Bose, and I know the head unit is supposedly manufactured by Delco while the amp/speakers are Bose, but because the head unit says Bose, I figured I had the Bose system. The stereo is pretty loud, and pretty good sounding.
The speaker in the front passenger side door has gone bad as it only cracks when a song with bass is playing, otherwise outputting nothing. I called the dealer, they quoted around 100 for a replacement Bose speaker, but I've been waiting to see if I could snag a used one online somewhere.
But, today, I was doing something with the tailights and I had the trunk open, and a flash of metal caught my eye. I realized it was the magnet on the sub mounted on the rear deck. I got curious, so I took a look at it: The label said that it was a "Pyramid Royal Blue 4 ohm subwoofer". Does anybody know what's going on? Is this supposed to be there when the car is supposedly equipped with Bose? I don't want to tear the doorpanel apart to look at the failing door speaker until I need to, but I'm not sure - does it sound like the whole system has been changed or did they just not use a "Bose" subwoofer? if there is a Bose sub that's supposed to be there, would anybody recommend I replace this "Pyramid Royal Blue" with it, or what?
Sorry for all the questions but hopefully somebody knows
Thanks
