No Base from the Bose?
What controls the base in Bose system? My radio has almost zero base. I tried a different radio and amp with no improvement. Anyone with any experience with this? Thanks

Bose stereos are notorious for having almost no bass...
You can try adjusting the dial on the front of the stereo. Other than that, you're kind of SOL until you install an aftermarket sound system.

When you adjust the base **** there is no change. This is a sudden occurrence, was working fine.

First thing to check is fuse #28. Fuse #24 would cause that problem, but would also stop the antenna from going up and down if you are driving a convertible.

I purchased my vette last June from a dealer and on the drive home (3 hours) I noticed my bass control didn't do anything. The dealer I bought the car from made arrangements with a local dealer to fix the problem. The radio was switched out and the problem still existed. I came home got on the forum and found out that the some of the speakers have their own amps on their own fuse circuit. Changed the fuse and the problem was fixed....2 dealers and neither one knew what to do!

If your side mirrors vibrate but the bass is just not enough, the subs are working, time for a real sub!
Custom stealth box hidden in the rear with a 10" idq sub and a 500 watt amp adds plenty of bass to the bose system and makes it sound great.
The audio forums has lots of info on this.
