Default Need Some Stereo Help Please

I know there are some Gurus here when it comes to mods and enhancements to the Bose stereo in the C5. I know the obvious answer is to upgrade or replace the thing, but here is my problem:

The “rear� channels are dead. When I fade to the front, the sound is terrible, like it is missing the entire high end, and when I fade to the rear there is just a little bleed over playing onthe front.

Is there an individual amp or something that I can check before I have to take it in to the dealer? I checked the two fuses labeled “bose�, as well as the relay, and pulling each of them only resulted in the whole stereo going dead. I would like to trouble shoot this if I can. Any help would be great.

04 CE Vert, 1k miles and no mods….no other problems either.

Thanks

Dave

Thanks,

I went out and checked, but I can't find it. Just where is it again? Behind the carpet, over the left rear wheel in the trunk?

Thanks again,

Dave
