S3 8P Bose, Speaker's no sound. Sorted!!!

Post by Jet Li »

Hi!

Only the center speaker on the dash is playing with the Audi RNSE. All the doors speakers are non Bose Speakers and wired to the boot of the car. I think the previous owner was using after market head unit with amplifier.

The error message say something about speaker's open circuit on VAG.

1. How do I make non bose speaker play with the RNSE head unit?
2. Can I rewire those speakers and rescan for errors.

Any help and/or advice will be appreciated.

Thanx

Actually the car was wired to run the aftermarket amp from the Bose high output meant for the rear speakers with Hi-Low converter and the remote power also sourced from the Bose amp.

At first I added a 4 channel amp and was not happy with sound quality and then rewired all speaker wires Front & Rear to factory setup and it sounds much better now. Thanx

And running both amps was killing the battery because the HU takes forever to switch the power off.
