I have a 2003 C320 Coupe with BOSE sound package.
The speaker grills have the small gold BOSE logo embedded.

If they don't have the BOSE logo, then most likely you don't have the BOSE system. As for the bass box in the rear. It says BOSE on it.

I have a 2003 coupe as well.

The front door speaker grilles (bottom of the door towards the front) will say BOSE on them if you have the option.

The Bose speakers aren't the weak link in the system. The head unit seems to be the limiting factor....
