Okay the Bose stereo in my 89 SE-i is very quite. Could there be a fuse issue. or maybe just wiring, If its wiring Then I'm fine with it.
I'm wondering because I'm going to rip it all out, And install a new one, But I want to know if it will affect my new system I plan to put in, in anyway.
sounds like the stock bose amp took a crap, when u put a new deck in just run new speaker wire to bypass the bose amp and unplug it

The wires run to and from the amp. Cut the leads from the amp and bypass the amp at the amp. Its much easier then trying to run wiring through the doors. I would try to find a replacement if it was me. The stock amp being hi line driven off aftermarket power would help that much more. Thats how mines been for quite a long time. The stock amp takes it just fine as well.
Sorry to have to ask, But where would the amp be located? under the dash, cause I think that's the only place I have left besides some side panels I haven't gotten off yet.
Its under the back deck between your back speakers.
SE-i came with an amp? nice! wonder what else it came with that the LX-i didnt... going to search...

I want a picture of the amp! I've never seen one.
...body-colored mirrors, special tint...
+1, mine worked good and was hooked up to a nice early 90s sony tape deck and had sony speakers.

If it's quite quiet, everything they said above is true. Find a new amp or bypass it with a new head unit, then it will be quite loud.
everytime i see this thread it allways makes me want to butt in and tell you to turn the volume up more, even tho that is not the case. I dont think JDM accords even came with a "flash az ow stereo system" we did have a optional powered center subwoofer tho.
That's what I was dying to say.
God I completely forgot about this thread until tonight.
I'm actually going outside to work on the car here in a minute, So I'll post a picture of it once I find it.
who knows maybe I'll get lucky and get it working.
Good luck! Let us know how it goes.
:P got it out, but I don't have a tool to open it tonight.
Plus the fact she cut my finger, and a nice scratch going down the upper back side of my left arm.
:O she didn't like me working on her tonight.

Rofl I got some pictures of it. But nothing of it opened.Cars always end up making me look "emo"
Its always the bloody tool you don't have. :O
The more I work on this car, The more I notice.....The last owner didn't do shit in the 8 years she sat there. T_T But I guess its a good thing, since shes now mine.
okay, i finally got to the stereo, what wires do i need to cut to bypass the amp? like is it the whole wire harness, or just some of them.
Yea for photoshop...No license plate. :3
