Does using aftermarket stereo cure Bose cut out?

[Arran]

As above really guys, my Bose cuts out the left front speaker about three times a week tis annoying! I love the sound they give and don't want to change the setup but I have a new headunit going in on Thursday and was wondering if my unit will cure the problem, I heard its the actual Bose (not made by them) headunit that causes the issues with it cutting out?

 

Anybody know if it will cure it?

 

Cheers all

Correct. I had the same problem, new headunit cured it. PLUS it sounds even better with a higher quality head unit

I did consider this, but was already fed up of passengers offering to buy me cassettes

Depends how much you want to spend I guess

Sweet thank god for that! It's so annoying, I looked at the fix it guide and il do that when the headunit is out so when I put it back to stock for sale it works

 

Does anyone know what wattage the Bose headunit is? 4x50w?

Not sure on the Bose wattage but the output is very high so any new HU without a line boost will sound very quiet

 

You can to the Buster workaround though or do what I did and replace ALL the bose, amp & speakers too

My new headunit will put out 4x50w not sure wether that's good enough. May just have to turn it up more on the new headunit to get the same as the Bose

Its not the headunit output its the bose amp, my old pioneer unit was 4x50 but I had to have the volume on 56 out of 60 to hear it over road noise....

 

Search for Busters hack, basically you just cut the RCAs and solder or crimp them together, really simple and effective
