Pig has the Bosé with Nav and gosh...14 speakers, so nope.

The rover stereo was a complete system with custom install. They replaced all the speakers with driver and tweeters, added a 5th driver and tweeter in front center top of dash, a custom sub cabinet and 2 amps so it could do 5.1 surround. So I could say it is a 11 speaker system. The head is a JVC Chameleon which is touch screen, no knobs or buttons and supports all the iPhone stuff both wired and airplay. Even plays DVD videos on it. Supposed to also do a backup camera, but didn't think it was needed with all the windows in the rover.

Half of the cost of the system was the 5 shallow drivers to fit the stock locations without cutting and hacking stuff or making custom mounts which adds as much as the cost of the shallower speakers. Think aftermarket speaker manufacturers do that on purpose. Went as cheap as I could to get 5.1 surround.

The stock system on the rover was pretty good for it's time, just everything was dead from age. Hopefully whomever gets this rover will appreciate the sound system enough to consider the value it adds to it.
