Why do you want a different head unit?

Because the existing head unit doesn't work properly, and besides, SWMBO doesn't like the multichanger, (even if it worked!!), she prefers to be able to change disks manually.

I'll have a dig around for the amp. I should be able to frig something together, or even use the pre-amp output!!

Cheers!!

I wouldn't bypass the amp........try to find a feed from the head unit that it is happy with.

if it's the bose system, the amp is fitted to a plastic tray underneath the parcel shelf.

Aha!! It's an estate!! So where do they hide it on the estate?

But if it's to the rear of the car, then what powers the front speakers?

As stated, I believe the amp on the estate is in a compartment in the boot - possibly the nearside

IIRC, the bose "amp" filters the bass from the front and rear speakers, then sends it to the (seperate) woofer(s) - I believe there is only one on the estate. So the connection is head unit to amp to front speaker ... hence why you get squat from all speakers when the amp trips!
