bose back speaker problem today.

bose back speaker problem today.
So, I was driving home today, when i was listening to my music. My back passenger bose system kinda went out. It still works but it is cracking like crazy. The only mod i have to my stereo is a pioneer AVH-P3200DVD. So i moved the sound to the front speakers only. I know how to remove them, but do i just need a new speaker or is something else? Thanks org members.

I guess you're saying you lost both rear speakers at the same time. If so, I would suspect the head unit more than the individual speakers. Each speaker has its own output from the head unit, so if both speakers went out at the same time, I would say the problem is the head unit.

OK, then it is most likely the individual speaker. While the head unit could still possibly be the cause, it's not that likely.
However, be advised that Bose speakers are unique. You cannot just put any speaker in to replace it.
I would suggest that you first test and verify that the speaker is bad before buying any replacement item. Unplug the bad speaker and then run jumper wires from the wire harness over to the driver's side speaker (you will have to unplug the wires from that one too) and see if the problem still exists. If the driver's side speaker sounds good, then the other speaker is bad.
There are 4 wires on the speaker. Every speaker will have a red and black wire on it, which are power for the printed circuit board that is part of the speaker and must be connected for the speaker to work. The other 2 wires are the audio signal wires to the speaker.

If you go aftermarket on the rears, go full aftermarket. It just wouldn't balance well, especially with the risk of the bose speakers you have left blowing like the other did. You can sell the bose speakers to help pay for the aftermarket system, too.

If you connect a good speaker to the passenger side wires and that 2nd speaker crackles, then the head unit is bad. If the 2nd speaker has good sound, then the original speaker is bad.
That's what I was trying to tell you back in post # 6. Unplug the passenger side speaker wires and using extension wires, plug them on to the driver's side speaker.

Sounds like the speakers no good, if you have trouble/can't find a replacement one that would be perfect i suggest going aftermarket and you obviously if you have the cash. Well worth it to avoid the whole bose system. Get an amp to power the speakers (2 channel, or even 4 if you plan on adding more down the road) and 4 speakers, wire the RCA output of the headunit to the RCA input of the new amp and wire the speakers to that. Problem solved after a good tune. But that's only if you have interest in a more powerful/nicer sounding sound system. And that's how to properly go "aftermarket" with speakers. The cheap easy alternative would be to simply replace the speaker that sounds blown.
