My 97 max is giving me sh*t. The driver's side bose speaker keeps cutting in and out. I figured it was just some sort of short but from what i have been reading about newer maxs having the same problem i am wondering if it is a HU problem. I saw that '02s i think had a service bullitin for thier hu for the same problem. Any ideas? Also, I have been serching for a website i saw a while ago that showed how to fix the display problem and "cd err" message that some of us are all to familiar with but i can't find it. It was fixed by just soldering in a new resistor on the board inside of the HU. If you guys know the site im talking about lemme know. Thanks, Sam

 

with a 1997, with speakers that old, its probably dead.

 

ya the speaker might be blown, but i got a 89 se max and the rear speaker did the same thing, but it was a problem in the amp for that speaker, im not sure if the 97s are the same but its worth lookin into

 

yeah man this bose stuff is really messed up. i am 17 years old and i know bose sounds good but i hate them. i was driving the other day just listening like i normally do and all of a sudden i smell something funky so i pulled over and i noticed my rear speakers were blown i open up my trunk and smoke just starts pouring out the back of my trunk. have no idea what happened and im totally lost so im replacing my rear speakesr with some new pioneer three ways but i want to use my stock head unit is their anyway i can use those speakers like splicing in before the amp? any suggestions please help
