problem with bose system

[tlyden316]

I just bought a 95 camaro with the bose system, and it's acting up. The volume is always getting stuck on the very minimum, and when I turn the dial it won't raise. The tuning doesn't work when that happens either. I was told that it's probably the amplifier that needs replaced. Does anybody know anything about this? Thanks a lot.

i had a friend who had the same thing(sort of) happen. he took it to a friend of his who knows everythign about stereos, i believe all his amps had to be replaced and a new headunit.. so he was better off ripping out the entire thing and getting a new system...don't know if same thing would need to be done to your car...but i would definitely take it to a specialist (someone u would trust and aren't just gonna say you need a new system to get ur money)

If it's the knob acting up, you should be able to just swap an aftermarket deck in there and plug it into the factory bose amps. You're going to need an aftermarket deck any way you fix the problem, so it wouldn't hurt to get a quality cd player in there.

We had a '95 'Bird in our shop yesterday with Bose and a factory head unit that wouldn't power up and we put an Alpine CDE7872 in there and it rocked!
