How to tell exactly if I have the stock or bose system in my 08 mazda 6 sedan

[KDFierce]

Im not sure exactly how to tell which one I have, I read the sticky and the bose apparently has an amp underneath one of the seats but I cant tell if there is one there or not. Im trying to upgrade my stock speakers and want to make sure I have the stock system before I purchase my new ones. Is it blantantly obvious to tell if it's bose or not? Hopefully this question isn't too frowned upon.

Also the speakers im looking to purchase are the jl audio c2-570x 5x7 two way coaxials. Any feedback from you guys?

Thanks alot for your time,
Kyle

I like JL stuff.

if you have Bose, you'll know. its plastered everywhere. On the grill of the sub in the rear deck, on each of the door speakers, and on the headunit LCD when you turn it on.

And yes, you could locate the amp under the passenger seat too.

Okay, well I don't have the bose system and I ordered 2 pairs of the jl-audio c2-570x 5x7's so they will definitely fit. Will I need to buy any separate harnesses to put these in myself?

easiest way is to buy speaker harnesses. you can get them from any car audio store. One end plugs into the factory plug, the other end is loose wires that connect to the speaker wires/terminals.
