None of my speakers work...the radio turns on but no sound...is it possible to bypass the amplifiers? The realy right next to the rear hatch "clicks" when I turn the radio on....is that normal?

Yes,........if you replace the radio.
I ditched the Bose radio and wired the JVC to the speakers by-passing the amps.

Yes, 1 amp with each speaker. After you remove the radio check continuity of the wires.
Just cut the wires from the amp the the speaker and splice in. The small spade on the speaker is +.

It takes 2 fuses to make it work, clk/ctsy and radio, test them both. If it's Bose, the amp relay may be another problem area.
The clicking relay in rear is for the power antenna. Is it going up and down ??
