Up Top

I'm sorry to bump a dead thread, but its my dead thread and I would really like some help. I believe I have the Bose system.I've been looking through this section and I can see I'm not the only one who has had this problem. The strange thing is I remember happening upon an individual with the same experience I wrote about in my last post. He would turn his radio WAY up and only get the faintest noise out of the front speaker. I have also been researching since I last posted and found many have different methods of bypassing the stock amp and there are harnesses available to do so. I have also seen many advise not to do a rewire as the stock wiring will do just fine? Could anyone let me know what that's about?

I feel like the entire system in general is out of my realm, but I'm confident with enough research I could accomplish a basic repair if not a complete system upgrade. I just kinda want a kick down the right path. I'll keep researching in the mean time.
