sidewayz350z Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Hi all, i just got my car home after having my garage roofs rebuilt and the stereo a double din alpine one is all working but i have no sound coming out of the speakers. Also does anyone know why i also have a single din headunit behind my passenger seat. I have only had the car a few months and its my first time looking round it and starting to work on it..!!! cheers in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleR Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 No idea about the sound, probably loose connector or something's plugged in the wrong port though. As for the drive behind the seat, do you have sat nab. Could be the cd/DVD drive for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodgeevans Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 does it have aftermarket speakers and amps fitted? as could be a fuse to the amps or the remote has blown or disconnected does it have OEM bose sub and speakers? if so how is the headunit connected to the bose equipment possibly blown the headunits onboard amp just a few of many possible things it could be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glrnet Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Was the double din Alpine working before you sent it away? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewayz350z Posted March 19, 2013 Author Share Posted March 19, 2013 Was the double din Alpine working before you sent it away? I bought the car and had it delivered without seeing the stereo sound but when i switched ignition on it lit up so never really gave it much thought lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

un1eash Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Pull the headunit out and check all the wiring, its possible it use to have aftermarket speakers amp and in the haste of converting it back to bose they've missed a connection. The stock sat nav is stand alone so should work with the bose headunit also. My bet would be on the extra ground wire needed to turn the bose amp on, everyone always forget this.

BulletMagnet Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 There should be a remote amp power wire, usually blue or blue with a white line. This will be seperate from any antenna power wire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
un1eash Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Its nothing to do with the antenna wire, you need to make sure the earths are all wired up including the extra earh wire to the chassis that turns on the bose amp as the standard bose system grounds through the unit. Some people get lucky as the antenna is enough to earth the system but you should do it as in this guide.... http://www.350z-uk.com/index.php?showtopic=30112 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spursmaddave Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 If the unit fires up and works fine with no sound then yes it will almost certainly be the amp remote wire (blue/white) If the unit starts up then almost straight away turns itself off it will need earthing, but you would grt sound for a secomd or two if that was the case I think.... Hopefully something simple good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
