While driving, Bose stereo started making a staticy, hissing noise. Then noticed my right door speaker was smoking!!! It will play w/ speaker removed, but there is a constant hissing noice, I think from center speaker. Want to keep factory radio, got a spare head unit, but same noise happens w/it installed. Someone please help!?

 

Every bose speaker has a it's own amp. Did you try disconecting the center speaker?

I think you're gonna have to bite the bullet and start disconnecting components until you can isolate the prob. From what it sounds your center channel amp got hosed.

 

The stock stereo sux bad . Hose it and upgrade before you burn your whole car down to the pavement.

 

I am considering hosing it, but would much rather keep the stock units, personal reasons. Could it be a bad ground somewhere? Anyone have a good right amp?

 

I may. I'll look thru all my boxes of crap that has been removed from my car. I'll try to do that in the next two days and i'll post back here.

 

WOW someone can actually hear somthing coming out of the center speaker thats amazing!!!! me and all my friends that have fd's i can never hear $h*T from the center speaker

 

Well, could I convince you to part with some of your old crap'ola?

 

they could have left all the front speakers out all i hear are the rear

speaker locations suck in this car
