Bose stereo question
My dad recently picked up an 89 vette all original with about 30k miles. The car is in excellent condition and has the original bose stereo, however the stereo sounds a bit weak and doesn't pick up stations that well. then a few days ago the driver's side front speaker began making a high pitch noise that would "wind" down over a couple of minutes then you would here a constant high pitch gargle. would this be a problem with the speaker amp, the original head unit, or the some connection in between? :banghead:
Thanks,

Sounds like an antenna connection problem and an amplifier problem. Post this in audio/electronics for a quicker answer.
Good Luck!

I agree with the rest....I had a similar experience with the same symptoms and found it more expensive to repair. I pulled it out and replaced it with a new Eclipse, new wiring harness and speakers. It should last for a very long time.
