ST Bose Sub issue

[Cupra TDI 150]

Hi guys

It seems like my Bose system doesn't sound the same as when I first had the car. It now sounds like the rear speakers are quieter and as if the the rear sub is working intermittently. Almost like the sub is pulsing quietly as apposed to working properly. I've checked the fade and balance and everything is set central.

Any one else had an issue?

Get a multimeter and test your speakers you self.

Bose usually power each speaker independently with a mini amp. Did in my Mazda rx8

my rear speakers are quieter than my fronts when I fade too. I've also had a sub replacement under warranty as the first was blown, but to be honest the replacement sounds the same - it's a pathetic sub. Most of the bass comes out of the front speakers.

Thanks Kane7, I don't suppose you know what Ω the sub should be?

Hmmmm doesn't fill me with confidence, I agree with you most of the bass comes from the front. Just seems a bit lacking compared to how it use to, and if the sub is knackered was going to swap it out if I could either with an OEM replacement or an aftermarket version that would be slightly uprated and last a bit longer. I will enquire when it next goes in for service.

I had a look at replacements at one point: I couldn't find anything that was OEM but I did find a sub box that would fit in the original location. You would have to strip out the OEM sub and amp and install I new amp... I gave up at that prospect!
