so, IDK why (obviously), but the factory sub behind the drivers seat (like you guys needed to be told where it was) likes to cut in and out quite often, is this a grounding or other electrical related issue i can fix in my spare time or is it time to get a new speaker

 

likely wiring. but there's no way for us to know w/o more info.

 

what kind of additional info would you need? just off the top of my head as far as what i think would help, everything is completely factory i.e. headunit, door speakers, tweeters, sub, so it's not possible that an aftermarket component threw it out of whack....

 

dunno where to start. but I'd say first check for simplest fix first - loose/dirty connection. most likely to be at the sub...

next on my list of likely issues is the sub amp - since they are Pieces of Crap...

see TSBs at bottom

It could be the sub, as it is also a piece of crap. (notice the trend)

if u can't find the culprit I'd personally just unplug the sub until you have the cash to run aftermarket stuff....the Bose system is **** poor.

 

Do yourself a favor and scrap the entire stock system.

 

I have the same problem. Got to be a connection, because I fix it every time by hitting the base of it really hard, comes back on right away. Need to open it up sometime and check it out.

 

i'll probably end up getting a sub to replace it that's a bit more reliable, cuz a different H/U is def. in this car's future

 

there are no bad connections, it's the sub amp, I had the same problem... go to nissan and buy it or find it somewhere else... the sub amp is only $150, tell them you work for enterprise rent a car and itll save you 33% :-D.. I think the stock bose sounds amazing.. ive had many aftermarket setups in other cars but I will tell you the bose sounds great, i dont know about the reliability, but it sure sounds good
