Bose problem
Hi all,
I just bought a 93 Touring edition with automatic trans a few weeks ago and I am amazed by the power and handling of these cars. Anyway, I just realized that the rear speakers of my Bose system don't work. Does anyone out there know why and a possible solution to the problem? TIA and congrats on an entertaining and informative site.

Bose Problem
Dreamin, I'll check that first thing tomorrow morning. Ej, I haven't checked that close, but I'm almost sure they are silent. Thanks for the help, guys. It would be much easier if the stereo had a fade ****.

Mine did the same thing. Turned out the amp was f*cked. I have a friend that works for a stereo place who took it to some special guy, that for $75 fixed it. He quoted me 75 before he took a good look at it and ended up replacing almost every component. I got lucky though. Should've cost me 200.

If you have to replace the speakers, Replace them with some infinty Kappas. I really am not a fan of bose, and I sell speakers including bose. Bose is really good at making small speakers sound great , yes, but they lack the color of the Kappas I put in my FD. you can pick them up new on ebay new for really cheap. the model is Kappa 572.3cf 5x7 for the rear.

Hey I have the same model --but Im sure it doesnt matter --but anyways, the rear speakers ae 6' 1/2 's and make sure you dont choose and speaker with a big magnet on it, it wont fit. I replaced all of them and install some alpine tweeter in the front corners w/ a 10 cerwin vega sub--sounds nice ! ---by the way -- 12 wont fix in the back--sux -- later

If I replace the Bose, I would want everything to still look like a clean fit.
Since the rear cargo cover is cut-out to specifically fit with the bose sub system... Are there speakers that will easily fit in/around the cut-outs?

Not that you can fit much in the back anyway... but I don't want to fill the back with a huge woofer. I guess I'm hoping a new head unit will work well with the existing Bose sub in the back. I could still replace the front mids/tweets with higher quality stuff.
