I was looking at what would fit my car on Crutchfield.com , and I filled in the year, make, model, and all that stuff, and it asked if I have the bose stereo or not. How do I know if I have it? Mine has the 7-band equalizer if that helps

Do your front speaker grills say BOSE?
If they don't, then you don't have have it.
You could also look in the trunk. If you see a little black box in the middle left, that's the amp.
It's a lot easier to swap HU's if you do not have the BOSE. If you're a stereo guru, then you'll enjoy the challenge, if you do have the BOSE.

Yeah, Austin got it right.
The bose speakers say BOSE at the bottom of the doors (the 5" speakers).
I think the bose have extra speakers in the rear deck (I have BOse and the rear has 6x9 and another 4" or 5" round speaker on each side).
The amp in the trunk is probably the tell tale sign.

Here's something to ponder, a few months back I was inspecting the fuses and I came across a fuse location marked 'Amp' and there was a fuse in it. Now, I don't think I have a Bose. Think I should run the options in the car.

Think I should run the options in the car. You could try. I would guess that "amp" could mean your regular CD player, or it could just be that they put fuses in every fuse box regardless of the options that car had. Just guesses... PS - If I get out of work early today I will take photos of the BOSE system for you all. Not sure If I can get a good shot of the BOSE amp though, my Kicker amp is mounted to the rear deck. it might be in the way.

My 97 S.E has the extra 4" or 5" round speaker
beside the 6x9 but my speaker grills don't
say bose though and I don't remember seeing the amp on the trunk as well.Could this be just an upgrade of the basic stereo?

BOSE was not offered on the 97's. An upgraded sound system, or something like that, was offered on the 97's. Amp is somewhere under the dash.

For the '97's, the upgraded stereo had the EQ and a six speaker setup (4 on the rear deck).
