C5 Bose system
I have an '02 Z with the Bose AM/FM/CD (no changer). Overall it works quite well. Lately however, I've noticed that on occasion, I lose bass on the drivers side, both door and rear speaker. Mid and high range sound just fine. Just no bass. When this happens, I also notice several low-level tones that don't change either frequency or volume regardless of the volume control or engine speed (I'm getting to "it's not alternator noise"). It isn't one frequency either - it sounds like maybe 4 or 5 different ones and appear to range from about 400 or 500 Hz to perhaps 1000. And they all "play" simultaneously, sorta like a chord. The thing is, it doesn't always happen and the entire system works perfectly.
Is the Bose system bi-amp'd? If so, I suppose there's a problem with the low-end amp?
