Has anyone experienced trouble with the bose door speaker amp that is located beside the 9" speaker

everytime i tap it it comes back on but later cuts out has anyone else had this trouble



a while ago the speaker would cut out due to soldering issue
i verified everything all wiring is good

its just a trouble with that does anyone know a way to fix that ?

 

Ive also been having the same problem i wasnt sure wether it was the amp or the speaker itself. Unfortunatly i dont know what the problem is and i didnt want to take the amp apart since i wasnt sure what to loo for. But yea it would be nice if someone knew what the problem is. Any help would be appreciatied.

 

i fixed it is connection problem

 

Where is the connection problem? My passenger speaker always cuts out and now my driver side speaker is starting to cut out sometimes also. Does anyone else know a way to fix this?

 

its the male and female connector , with all the colored wires coming out above the mini amp

 

I ve' been having the same problem for years how did you correct the problem

 

Could be a relay problem on the circuit board on the amp

The relay is part #R46-5D3-12

 

I just had mine repaired it was a part on the amp both amps had be repaired both door panels had to be removed and the amp had to be repaired seems to work fine

 

May I Ask Where Yu Went?
&;how much it cost

 

i live on south florida so i went to factory car stereo repair in longwood,fl about 40 minutes north of orlando the cost was with tax $231.00 that was the repair of both amps and the removal of both door panels i got their number from the bose company you can check google maybe they can help in your area or can send the amps by mail here is the phone number 407-830-0777

good luck let me know how you make out

 

Hm, Hope I find something that fairly priced around NY
Thanks

 

the problem is a relay inside the door amps, mine was cutting out and unless i tapped the amp it wouldnt come back on, the relay is about $3 but im sure its the problem, i thought it was the connection also until i drove around with the panel of and tried wiggling the wires but it is the relay inside the amp

 

is there a DIY on the relay or is it just a regular relay? I haven't taken off the panel yet, just trying to get a head start...

 

its pretty easy, theres 4 philips screws holding the door panel in place, and u have to remove the power windows switches, once thats off theres a small silver box beside the speaker. remove that, open it up and u will see a small relay, u can find the actual part number on here, bring it to a electronic repair shop, and they should be able to replace it for u, it cost me $28

 

cool thanks!

 

well i have a bose speaker for sale if anyone is interested.

 

I am interested in the speaker. I assume it is the 9" door speaker, correct?

 

Yes out from the driver side door, has the amp behind it

 

Chalk down another confirmed fix - well not exactly yet... I've got the cutting in and out symptom on my dirver's side door speaker. If I hit the door panel in the right spot it becomes intermittent.

I took the door panel off and verified the relay isn't operating properly by tapping on the amp.... this makes it cut back in for a while.

Now I've removed the amp and will replace the relay. Pretty easy swap for me since my work involves chasing electrons daily in some way, shape or form. If anyone would like me to swap their relay for them, PM me or better yet send an e-mail to gabrod72@yahoo.com. I'd expect you to ship the amp to me for repair in Austin, TX. I'd fix it within two days or so and I could stock some relays if I get enough interest.

While we're at it.. if there's anything else needed for electronic repair and you're confident you've troubleshot to the component level, let me know. I'm not looking for more work as I have a full-time job, but the rates that shops are charging for these repairs is wayyyy too high!!!!!

 

I put together a DIY and added it in the series 1 audio diy section. Used a $1.67 relay from digikey.

just to confirm the amp is only in the drivers side door? or is there one in the passenger door as well?

 

There's an amp in each door. They're not like what you're used to seeing though as these are pretty small - maybe 4"x2" if memory serves me right.

 

Yep. Chrome colored and screwed to the plastic door skin.

 

thanks for the info I have seen the one in the drivers door just didn't want to break open the passenger if there wasn't one in it lol. but I am going to get mine out this week. thanks again

 

Is the amp mounted behind the speaker or is it
mounted on the back of the speaker. I could not find an amp on my door located beside the speaker like the threads have posted. There is a circuit card mounted on the speaker and was wondering if that was the amp.
Speaker # FE87-66-96XA.
