Default Bose speaker amp. Low bass output

Hi folks, Just replaced my driver side front amp and notice it does not have the same bass output as the other three. My guess one of the capacitors has failed allowing sound to the speaker just not full power. Bought it used on line thru ebay with insurance so it is returnable. Just wanna see if my suspicions are correct

you need to switch to other side to be sure. Play other things too

Does it have the same part number as the amp it replaced? Is it a rebuilt amp or a "new" one?

i'm sure you are noticing a difference but the fronts are mid-high where as the backs are mid-low. possible your new amp is working properly and the other front isnt the proper amp for the car? just a suggestion

on my coupe i bought all new amps and drivers earlier this year and the fronts sound much different than the backs (be design)...now last week i did a full capacitor swap on my 92 to fix them instead of buying new again (i will never do that again haha)
