tkjr Posted April 21, 2004 Report Share Posted April 21, 2004 Hello, My rear speakers are distorted when I crank it up. Checked the archives and didn't find exactly what I was looking for, except for alot of people saying how awesome the bose systems are. Leads me to believe something is wrong with mine. I guess the front speakers are ok, there is not any bass coming out of them to distort them. Normal? I have done some research and was wondering if it sounds like there is a problem with the rear speaker amps and, if so, how can I check the amps to see if they are working properly? Thanks, Tom. P.S.- Nothing worse than jammin' distorted Rob Zombie, although, to alot of people they probably always sound distorted! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96caddyw\a99eng Posted April 23, 2004 Report Share Posted April 23, 2004 I also have a 96 STS with the same problem,for the money to replace the bose in the back.

adallak Posted April 24, 2004 Report Share Posted April 24, 2004 My rear speakers/amps went to south three years ago I believe because of humidity and condensation accumulating in the trunk. I just disconnected them and lived with front ones, some day they will quite as well. I do not think BOSE is a great system (not because of failed rear speakers and amps). The saddest thing in life is wasted talent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted April 24, 2004 Report Share Posted April 24, 2004 I think Bose is really overrated. They are the Mercedes-Benz of speakers. They have a great name, but they are really just overpriced junk. Bose uses really cheap caps and PCB's. That's why the amps fail so much. There are so many better speakers out there. Store stuff like Kenwood and Pioneer are decent, at very least they are more reliable and durable than bose systems. Believe it or not the domestic brands of speakers actually have better reputations than the imports. All the brands are pretty good, just stay away from stinkers like audiovox, sony, or blaupunkt.

tkjr Posted April 24, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2004 Thanks for the replies and here is something that may or may not be related. Yesterday I was repairing my rear defrost grids. The car was OFF and I was by the rear speakers putting tape on grids when I heard the speakers come on and like a static or kind of humm coming out of both speakers. Not loud, would never had heard it if I wasn't back there. Also have been having trouble with battery being dead if sitting more than about 18 hours without being started. Wondering what could cause speakers to do this? Any clues? Thanks, Tom BTW, the noise lasted about 1 min. and did it 2 or 3 times in about 2 hrs.
