it's happened a while ago, but when i turn anything on my stereo CD radio or anything all i get is this one long bass kind of noise like BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG! what is that i think there's a short in one of my amps, but i'm not sure! can someone help me?

 

Almost sounds like a loose RCA connection before your amps. Go over your audio signal connections from the head unit to the amps and make sure the connections are tight. The whole setup worked previously right? You haven't added anything new to the system?

 

yeah it's the stock system! i didn't touch anything! and yes it worked before!

 

Hmm.. I was assuming that it was an aftermarket system. Is the stock system bose? If it's not then the amp should be onboard with the head unit. If it is, then I think the amps are located seperate from the head unit. I'm not too sure where the amps are located though.. The only bose system I saw close up was an old Audi where the amps were in the speaker housings. I still think that there's an audio connection problem somewhere. Is the sound localized? Can you turn the annoying sound up with the volume control?

Things I would do if I didn't have a bose system.
1. switch head units and recheck for the problem
If the problem resolves itself then your current one is probably fried. If it doesn't I'd be surprised, because all thats left is the wire from the unit to the speaker.

Things to do if you have a bose system:
(this one sucks a lot more)
1. Check connections in back of the head unit and at the amps
2. if that doesn't work then switch out the head unit with another bose unit to recheck if it's your head unit thats the problem. (I think you can only use another bose unit in its place, because the amps are seperate and the speakers run at 1 Ohm so you can't even bypass the amps if you wanted too.)
3. if its not the head unit and it's not the connections, then the amp will be fried.

I really hope it's just a loose connection somewhere, otherwise the alternatives aren't fun. Just incase you decide to rip out the bose system put in a new one from the shops, know that you're gonna have to replace the speakers too. Sorry I can't be more help...

 

yeah it's a bose system on my touring edition rx7. the volume of the noise stays constant, and i'm planning and customizing everything so no worries really! but not 100% sure =/

 

Heh.. alright.. In that case, no worries! From what I've heard the bose systems are nice for how small they are, but it's at the expense of compatibility. (Hence the whole 1 Ohm thing) So boo on bose!! I hope everything turns out well for whatever direction you choose!
