Bad amps?

[va beach biker]

Just to sanity check before I go ordering new parts, what are the symptoms of the amps going bad? Right now I have a constant, heavy, static noise coming from both the front speakers. It's present as soon as the power is turned on, and bad enough that you have to crank the volume just to hear anything.

It could be a couple of things, but is most likely you amps going bad.

This thread from the audio section has a few places to consider.

I used the amps out of a Nissan that had a BOSE system when my rear amps dies. I ended up swapping everything over including the new speakers etc and retained the ZR1 speaker/amp casing. Fit's like a glove. The speakers came out of a 2005 Pathfinder but almost any year should work provided it came with the BOSE system.

Chesapeake - good to know that. I was about to start boxing up stuff to send to Bose.

My amps went out. I called Bose, they sent me 4 new ones, at $75.00 each, plus shipping. They did not want my old ones. I changed all 4 out in 3 hours. You can get instructions on this site. I bought instructions for $10, on the internet from a site mentioned in ZR1registry.
