My rear speakers stopped working together same time, is there a stock amp in the car? Maybe a fuse blew? If there is a stock amp where is it located?

 

Each speaker has it's own amplifier attached to the speaker housing. If both speakers went out at the same time it's unlikely it's an amplifier issue.

Now would be a good time to upgrade. The cost of replacing the Bose system is going to be expensive if you have to have amps repaired and the chance of finding good used speakers that are ten years old minimum would be slim.

A set of 6.5 components for the front and 6.5 full range for the back along with a cheap head unit would make all your problems go away.

This is all just my opinion but I ran my Bose head unit until it died then put in a fresh system. The Bose system sounds nice right up until you upgrade then all it's failings become clear.

 

I thought of just rewiring all my speakers and keeping Bose everything I'm not into systems I just like music on my drive to school

 

Sounds like the Bose headunit went bad. Pick up a working used one for peanuts here in the Classifieds section. This is your easiest and cheapest option.

But first, I'd do some troubleshooting and pull the deck out and check the connections at the back etc.

 

used speakers usually go for abt $25-$35

 

Everything functions fine cept the cd player portion stopped working same time as rear speakers and the light sometimes flickers

 

Welcome to Bose.. my display would go out and then turn back on for months at a time randomly, but it would still work, until 6 months ago when the cd player stopped working, at which time I used an MP3 discman and a tape adaptor, and then 3 months ago it all died completely. I'm going to try the resoldering-repair written up in here somewhere in a few weeks.

Anyone know of an aftermarket head unit that looks remotely factory? My main reason for not replacing Bose is all the head units I see that are all ultra flashy seem to rice up the interior of the car in a negative way (IMHO).

 

Well thanks everyone for the help I will probably take the unit out and fix it myself and hopefully that will work!

 

translation: i cant afford a system, im a student. i feel your pain man. been there, done that.

 

Ahahaha, I work Im just a cheap italian

 

Did you check your fader ****? I know its a stupid question, but some times the simple things are the hardest to fix.

Ya it's not that lol

 

theres 2 or 3 fuses for bose, check them out. also if your willing to try an internet home remmedy, heat gun your bose unit or throw that sucker in the oven... Just make sure you take out all the plastic parts first. the likelyhood of you blowing two amps is neigh, if your willing hook the rear amps to a 12V power supply Computer PSU's work great, run a low level signal or high level whatever to the other two wires NOT RED AND BLACK and see if youve got MASSIVE amounts of distortion or anything abnormal.

 

Why not stay factory? The Pathfinder and Z33 head units look stock, and are basically plug and play. Having an in-dash 6 CD changer is nice as well.
