Where is the BOSE amp?

Ah ok, in one of them??? Can't actually remember seeing anything there...but there are a few of those cubbys so maybe I didn't look in all! ...or do you mean it's hidden behind the trim somewhere?

 

Will investigate more tomorrow :thumbs:

 

Cheers,

It certainly is, and not as big as you'd think!

Thanks guys, I'm missing all sound on the left, so wanted to track down the cabling and amp!

 

Had a peak in the boot and can see the edge of the amp behind the foam on the left. Couldn't easily remove that foam cover though (in the 5 minutes I tried!), seems to be stuck in behind every piece of plastic trim going? I guess I have to remove the back centre plastic piece with the light in it - any hints on removing this without breaking it?

Cheers,

Steve

I had the same problem and for me it was the Bose cd-player. Now it sometimes cuts all sound on the left, then on the right and then on both :wacko: Or it mutes it almost completely.

I honestly hate the POSE (piece of sh*t equipment)

Hi, cheers for the advice and info :thumbs:

 

Does anyone know if this problem is usually down to the Amp or the headunit? I've done some searching on the forum and most say it's solved with a new h/u - I assume these still use the BOSE amp?...or is there an easy way to wire up an new h/u direct and disable the BOSE amp?

AFAIK, it is a headunit issue. Replacement headunits will use the existing BOSE amp, yes. The problem you have with the BOSE set-up, is the output from the headunit (and therefore amp input) is at a different level to aftermarket headunits.

 

Speaker level (high level) or phono / RCA level (low level) outputs are what aftermarket headunits use. The BOSE amp won't work with these. If you change the headunit, you will need a PAC ROEM adaptor to still be able to use the BOSE amp.

 

Zedrush and others have done the same.
