Just as the title says, my blows sub cuts in and out intermittently. Wondering if this was a pattern failure and what i could possibly look for to fix it.

Alternatively, i have an old 240W pioneer amp kickin around, i was thinking of eliminating the stockie and juicing up the the sub a bit with a little more wattage. Possible? Could the sub handle it? Thx for any info.

 

Not sure whether you have a 5th or 5.5 gen, but I followed a write-up for 5th gens that completely fixed my sub cut out. It involves re-soldering 5 contact points on the circuit board that sits against the sub.

 

This is an unusually familiar sounding problem. Where in the hell did I hear this before?

 

its an 00, so yea.

how bout my little idea with installing an aftermarket?

 

I wouldn't know if your idea will work. Hoping that someone does and chime in. Below is the link for the 2000 woofer cut off fix, if interested.

thx nelsito

 

Thanks man, i have had this problem for months. but works good now

 

iirc the bose sub is powered at 1ohm so i suppose it would work fine if u wired it 1 ohm, i dont see why it would harm anything i dont think its too much power for it. i had the same problem u had and i just eliminated the whole circuit board instead of fixing the solder joints. u do get some more of the lows but u get some of the unwanted hi's as well but its not enuff to make that big of a difference

 

I have the 5.5 generation.....do you know if it is the same problem as in the 5th generation??

 

i would imagine.

 

I'm not sure if the 5.5 gen have the same circuit board, but see post #61 of the link I posted.

Edit: Also post #52 of that same thread has some information on the 2001 that might apply to your car.
