Hello do we have any Bose Experts I need help I just bought the Bose 6 disc cd changer MP3/Bluetooth/XM radio brand new and I hooked it up to my base model with ease but the sound is low even when the volume on the Bose is on max any feedback will suffice thanks Z lovers.

I think there is a automatic volume adjustment feature when you are in "sound" section, where you can change your treble and bass volume. Make sure it's off

Did you use the proper Bose speakers?

No I still have the stock ones and as far as for adjustments on the Bose I tried it and no luck:mad:

You need a Line Output Converter.

I have the PAC SOEM-4. This will allow you to adjust the output to the speakers.

Sweet! let me checkem out on the web, what stereo do you have? i am trying to keep mine as original as i can because i am going to give it to my youngest son that is 3 years so it can be classic later

I emailed Bose to see what kinda response i get i yet get to get a response

I had the Bose touring system, but exchanged the headunit for a Kenwood DNX-6960 so I could have nav and all that jazz. Still using the Bose amp and speakers though.


Nice. I saved all my stock parts so I can go back one day should I have the car that long. Chances are it will just keep getting modded and will never be stock ever again though.

That's what I am talking bout! so do you think that I might need a bose amp and speaker for it to sound?

My guess is the LOC alone will make it sound the way you want.

LOC? you got me what is LOC my man

LOC line output converter, takes stereo wires and converts them into rca lines to plug into an amp that you can plug into your speakers

memorylasts & spearfish, +1 rep :tiphat:

Huh, I thought the bose had a separate amp. At least the bose in G does...

Bose does have a separate amp but he is only taking the head unit not the whole setup

370Zsteve - thanks!

That is right I just have the HU. The base Unit only has two connector in the back and the Bose HU has 4 connectors I am thinking maybe an amp what do you think?

From what I've heard, the stock base sound system (not touring) has only front speakers (no rear, no sub). Thus the stock headunit probably just has outputs for a single set of speakers (2 channels). The Bose unit you've installed has 4 channels (front and rear). You can either just connect the front channels or get a set of rear speakers and connect all four channels. In the touring models, the Bose amp splits a signal off the rear channels to send to the subwoofer.

ok that makes sense it might be the speakers and the amp that why it has to extra plugs in the back
