Pagnobito Posted October 3, 2008 Posted October 3, 2008 I sometimes drive with the radio off, but when at a standstill I hear a hiss from the speakers, not loud but noticeable and annoying. Is this normal or do I have a supression problem, in any case I would have thought that the noise would change pitch if supression. Or is it just that the bose system is rubbish? I have not been impressed with the radio so far, it sounds hollow, lacks warmth and has no bottom end to speak of. So is the hiss normal or something else I need to speak to the dealer about? Quote
Sarnie Posted October 3, 2008 Posted October 3, 2008 It comes from the sub as there is still a current running to it, even when its turned off, which creates the hiss Quote

H5 Posted October 4, 2008 Posted October 4, 2008 It's the phone kit keeping the amp on. And since the amp is poop, you can hear what is called floor noise from it. Quote

Pagnobito Posted October 4, 2008 Author Posted October 4, 2008 Are the amp input/outputs custom to the Bose or can the amp be taken out and rewired into a better one? The Pioneer double din full screen units look nice, but very expensive, so I am not sure if I want to make the investment in updating everything, because I know that even if the answer to my question is yes its possible I would end up replacing the whole lot. I did the same with my Leon, first it was just going to be the HU, then add a sub, which would mean an amp, so may as well replace the speakers and bigger amp etc, rip out interior, swear never to do it again, but I am not happy with this system so it may have to go, not sure yet!

H5 Posted October 4, 2008 Posted October 4, 2008 The BOSE set-up works on a different input level to other amps. So if you want to change the amp, you will need to change the head unit I'm afraid..... Quote
