Are the Boston Acoustics & base head unit the same? - Page 2 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Does anyone know about the venting on the rear deck? It looks like 2 the same and one in the center. Those are good sized speakers in the rear deck.

Ya, that venting in the rear deck is for the Shunt that comes in each and every trunk!!

Dammit I gotta block that vent off... when I throw a "date" back there I will have to hear her screaming all the way home!

I think so

The pics of the openings are the same. Its just a perspective thing. Compare where the bottom of the opening ends and near the top by the square piece(baby seat latch?) Same locations. Plus its in the ordering workbook. Both get 6x9s. BAs get 3.5 coaxially mounted and center speaker(9 speakers), base(6 speakers).

Where's the center speaker? Dash? It's certainly not in the trunk/back.

It does not mention the speaker size or locations in the workbook. All it says is "Boston Acoustics ® premium 9-speaker system, 245 watts."

There is two versions of their workbook. Ill try to find em for you. The center is in the front dash.

I hate the darn center speaker...I will have to use that spot for something new once I rip that one out !!!! They do sound nice, but they are a pain when you get into aftermarket stuff

hdhomer · 02-25-2009, 10:21 AM

Guys, thanks for all the speaker info but let's get back to the original post.
Are we sure the head units the same as Nexus6 says?

UCF w00t · 02-25-2009, 10:26 AM

I don't think anybody really knows or will know til someone gets their car and decides to rip it apart and take a peak at the back. Or maybe a dealer with access to the parts list can look into it?

ZZcamaro · 03-01-2009, 05:59 PM

I got to sit in a SS with the boston system today....No we did not get to hear it, but those are definetly 6x9 in the rear deck!!

ArcAngel · 03-01-2009, 06:31 PM

head units = SAME

t3chfr3ak · 03-01-2009, 07:09 PM

Yeah the head units probably the same. The bose system in my mazda is the same headunit as the regular system. It would be the smartest way to go for GM as it would save money to just add the digital amp to it like they did on my bose system.

makes sense speakers and amps change the quality of sound not really the unit
