Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

    Stock Bose amp cutting out?

    I have a 93 SE and installed a sub, amp, and power cap. The stock radio was replaced with a Clarion long before I got the car. The sub works great, but I notice that my rear interior speakers get quiet when the sub is doing it's thing.

    I noticed the original Bose amp in the back deck, and heard from an unconfirmed source that the Bose amp doesn't get along with other amps. Anyone ever have a similar problem?

      The new setup is done right, it was checked and rechecked. As far as the Bose system, it looks factory installed.

        Check my thread, to do an install with a Bose factory amp it is not just plug the adapter in and go. SMDH, it obviously is powering the amp on higher power than it needs. It's not done right, keep it up and the Bose amp will completely fry. I'm guessing you didn't read the thread in my signature. If you are powering that amp with anything other than pre-amps it is wrong. My bet is that your preamp outs go to your subwoofer amp, not the Bose.

          Sorry about that, and no I didn't read your signature thread. We will check it out again. We have probably done three dozen head unit and sub/amp installs over the years, but never confronted a stock amp setup. Thanks a lot for the help, and sorry again.

            Yeah, it was definitely not done right. If it was done right the stock amp should have been bypassed, IMO. It kind of defeats the purpose to replace the headunit, but keep the 20 year old stock amp powering the speakers. It should be removed from the car and replaced with a newer, better amp, or just run cable from the headunit to the speakers.
