Speaker problems

[Easty]

So got standard Bose system in the Z at the moment, only had the car a few weeks.

 

The passenger door speaker keeps cutting out normally after a bump in the road, if I tap/hit the passenger side knee pad it comes back on

 

Any ideas?

Speaker connection at the back of unit maybe.

Never had this problem but it sounds like a loose connection somewhere and that would be the first place i looked.

Any problem with the sub?

I believe the passenger side speaker is a common fault with the Bose system and a lot of the systems had this problem. A solution is to change the speakers for after market ones

do a search for this problem on the forum. I've read all about it a while back so its covered somewhere - probably the FAQ section. Its not the easy fix it could be if I remember rightly? Often its more to do with the headunit - unless yours really is as simple as a lose connection on the back of the speaker.

Yes my lad had the passenger front problem when he got the car. He just lived with it until he had his new head unit and speaker install. Have you an old speaker you can wire up, then if still persists then go to the back of the head unit.

YEP. Change the lot as the Bose system is crap.

I had this same issue, I had a new head unit fitted as it started to do the cd skipping common fault also and this fixed the issue with the speaker cutting out.

Basically bin the Bose!

Bose is rebranded Clarion anyway in the Zed.

Yeah it's garbage mine does the same and cd skips I need to rip the lot out and start again! Any tips for what wiring harnesses and surrounds you need etc to get a new unit to fit

InCarTec harness is what i used along with their steering wheel control loom, website has items for Bose and non-Bose versions
