Bose HU - Amplified or not? HELP!!!!!

[Guest Gmac101]

Hi all

 

Just purchased a 54 plate 350z. its a japenese import and is the convertable version. It has the bose head unit that is tape and 6 disc cd.

I want to fit an after market head unit in the car and want to know what i will need to buy and where to buy it from! Also, HOW DO I KNOW IF THE BOSE SYSTEM IN THE CAR IS AMPLIFIED???

 

Thanks all in anticipation of your help.

u didnt buy the white roadster did you?

 

as far as I am aware all UK bose cars are amplified. mind you Im no expert in this department as mine is not a bose system.

I am fitting an ALPINE head unit and amp feeding an ORION sub.

Hi & welcome to the forum. If you do a search in the Advanced Search (top right) for new headunit you will find lots of posts that should answer any questions you have.

No I purchased an orange one mate. Thanks for your help.

Hey all,

 

Really struggling to find the answer to this one... How do I find out if the Bose head unit in my IMPORTED 350z is amplified or not??

 

I have been browsing forums for hours and have got no where!!

 

Please help.

 

Thanks all.

Is it a Bose? Is it stock? Then it it's amplified as far as I know. There's so much info on the ICE side of this car on this site it's untrue, and if you'd looked at the FAQs then you'd have found this.

Hi Dan,

 

Yes it is a bose mate. Sorry if I can't find the info - I'm new to this site and forums in general.

 

Thanks for helping.

Check out the ice section.

 

Rob Quads made a guide of exactly what you need for changing out the BOSE as it's not just as easy as plug and play.

If it is BOSE then yes it is amplified. You will have one amp for the speakers and a separate one for the sub behind the drivers seat if you have one installed?

Can anyone find the guide to changing the BOSE unit and post the link please as i'm also having a few issues finding it

Cheers!

Actually just found it too

Just me being stupid (nothing new there!)

[yokomo]

so if the bose unti is amplified then does that mean that even if you put in an aftermarket HU it wont use the HU's amps ?

That's correct. But you need a PAC ROEM adaptor to get the BOSE amps to work with an aftermarket headunit as the BOSE input level is odd.

PAC ROEM or ICT lead which means you can also retain your steering wheel controls (audio only not hands free) and doesn't need any splicing (well bar earth but both need that)
