Mark Hunt Posted May 29, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2019 Both those amp most should read 4166 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nath Posted May 29, 2019 Report Share Posted May 29, 2019 What's wrong with the current one? It might be repairable - I had mine fixed after water damage. Whether it's economical or not depends on the price of the amp (a new one for mine was £7-800 so the £200 to repair made sense). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Hunt Posted May 30, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2019 Was yours fibre optic if so where did you get it fixed mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nath Posted May 31, 2019 Report Share Posted May 31, 2019 Pretty sure mine is fibre optic. I had it repaired by these guys in Edinburgh: https://boserepairexperts.eu/ Not sure whether they can repair your model but worth asking them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boxstercol Posted May 31, 2019 Report Share Posted May 31, 2019 Is there any way of checking the Bose amp for all outputs? I feel mine is lacking bass & it’s had a change of Bose rear shelf speaker under extended warranty, but to be honest it sounds the same & I couldn’t be arsed to try & argue with the OPC at the time. I’m wondering if it’s amp related now... Basically there is hardly any bass that comes from the rear shelf speaker, yet I thought it was supposed to be a sub box??

I believe there is a mid range and a woofer each side of the rear speaker box, there's certainly not much in the high range from the rear. If you play around with fade it should be pretty easy to nailed down which speakers are missing sound. The base from the rears isn't very good to be honest, it's kind of manufactured base rather the decent naturally sounding base you get from the door speakers.

GmanB Posted June 2, 2019 Report Share Posted June 2, 2019 You could also check the speaker plug is fully secure by putting the hood in the service position. If you forward to about 1:15 in this video you'll see the plug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the fader on to the rear it sounds proper cr*p with no bass whatsoever, reminds me of an old radio. If you change the settings on your head unit so that the fader is completely to the rear, do you hear much bass? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GmanB Posted June 2, 2019 Report Share Posted June 2, 2019 Yeah a decent amount, just not very good quality and not quite as much as that comes from the doors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
