the stereo i have: stock Bose cass/FM-AM on 1992 SE

the general problem: driver side speakers (both F and R) are lower/quieter than the passenger sides....to make them sound even the balance **** needs to be set about 3/4 to the driver sides...in a nutshell, the passenger side speakers are more dominant than the driver sides.........this is affected more i find from my using a car kit in the tape deck plugged into a discman (compared to using the radio) when i first start driving (like after the car sits for awhile) and play the discman all is fine but then it acts up as i drive for some time and play the discman..ill get these thumping and static noises particularly in the driver door speaker and sometimes ill hear road noises through it also. Originally i thought it was the speakers alone but now i think something may be up in the deck because the speakers act up more when i use the discman as opposed to the radio.

i DONT want to get a complete set of aftermarket speakers and deck because of price...i either want to get this bose fixed or find another set from another max at a junk yard maybe..or possibly any of you may have any sets for sale...?

also, if i dont find a bose set(speakers and/or deck) from a 92, would sets from a 89, 90, 91, 93, or 94 fit? (preferrably sets with CDs..i can cut out that pop out cup holder tray if needed)

~thanx to any who help

 

I have the same problem on my 89 SE. It's only the front driverside though.It's always making a low buzzing noise and the whole system pops when you turn it on. I thought it might be a wire or the amp but i didn't feel like pulling the door panel off. also the tape deck sounds like **** but the radio is fine. I think the heads might be dirty. sorry i don't have a solution, but let me know if you figure anything out.

 

i found this aftermarket stereo place near me...they said theyll give me a free estimate on the deck so ill take it out give it to them and let them check it out.....maybe there are places around you that can do that
