Man, you’ve got patience to try and fix the factory Bose. After I started trouble shooting the dash head unit, the intermediate unit behind the passenger seat, and the amp on the speaker…I gutted the whole factory system and wired an all new Pioneer setup from the dash to the speakers.
@@itsabouttime981 I was thinking the same thing with mine. Ultimately, it came down to a cost-benefit analysis of my time and the money I’d spend on just a base model Vette. If it were a GS or ZR-1, maybe.
I can’t argue with that! It’s more of the retro look for me I think. If I could change speakers and keep the head unit, I’d do that in a heartbeat. But from what I’ve read, they all go together.
Just a quick question. But I was thinking that maybe you had cold solder joints when you replaced the caps. They were soldered in, but didn't make perfect connections at the joints. It would have only needed one bad joint to make the whole board not work.
I haven’t had the chance to get back on this project yet. Haven’t posted a video in months bc of various other projects that have kept me tied up. The plan is to use an IR gun to see if any components are heating up. But if your boards are still good and just lying around, would you want to sell?

I’m trying to keep the car stock as possible. But that may be my next step... especially if the sound quality isn’t “good enough” at the end anyway.

I have a couple of the speaker amp boards out of a 92

Seems strange that all amplifiers would die at the same time
I’m sure they went bad one at a time. But they were all bad by the time I got the car.
I found an awesome wiring channel, “Batee corvette.”
I’ll check that out. Thanks so much!
There’s nothing about the stereo that I saw on that channel. Most are about the gauge cluster and some about climate control.
@@itsabouttime981 give the guy a call, he may be able to help you out with your electrical issue still,,, or not ? Idk
