When on radio or cd player the stereo intermittently "drops out" if it was just on cd I would say it is exactly like a scratched disc.
Any ideas?

TIA

Shorting speaker causing temp amp shutdown?

[VR4Dave]

Thanks, how do I check for this my electrical knowledge is limited to say the least.

[VR4Dave]

anyone 

[Dave DND]

Disconnect each of the speakers in turn and see if the problem stops

Thats about all you can do with an intermittant fault such as that when the speakers are suspect

[VR4Dave]

that sounds a bit obvious, thanks will do. 

[VR4Dave]

I disconnected the speakers each one in turn and made no difference.
When I had disconnected the last one I reconnected the one in the boot and It was still dropping out 
I forgot to mention it's a bose system if that makes any difference.

Any more ideas?

[Dave DND]

I forgot to mention it's a bose system if that makes any difference.

Yes, makes a big difference.
 

[VR4Dave]

I suppose that means that it's a common issue and easy and cheap to fix 

[VR4Dave]

bump 

[VR4Dave]

Now my fists of ham have struck again!  I reconnected the speakers and I only seem to have the boot speaker, rear passenger and front driver working 

Don't see what I've done wrong, please help.

[VR4Dave]

Took speakers out again and refitted they're all working again now.

But there is something strange about the rear drivers side door speaker.
I had the radio on when I was reconnecting and when I offered it to the door it kept cutting out, with a bit of fiddling it is fitted and working ok.

What I don't understand is why it would do this the connections look clean and sound.

Any ideas? is it worth replacing this speaker? I don't think it's the cause of the "dropping out" as it was still dropping out on the other speakers when this one was disconnected.
Could it be the wiring for this speaker rather than the speaker itself?

Sounds a bit similar to the 2013 setup I have. Sound was dropping out intermittently, and then dropped out altogether.
I havent as yet got to the bottom of it (its no longer in a car) but if I do I will post up and let you know.
The only realistic option I have left is to try the H/U in another car to try to narrow it down - hopefully.

[VR4Dave]

Can I just pop it into another car or does it need pairing or is it just coded? (really crap with electrics!)

[albitz]

Im probably worse. I tried it in my own car, but it isnt Bose equipped, so the fact that it didnt work didnt enlighten me very much.
If your doesnt have a seperate amp (as the 2013 does) you might have a better chance, but to be quite honest - I aint got a fackin clue what Im talking about on matters connected with electrickery.
