There is no amp for the Bose Sub Box, If you are going to redo the system, you need to replace almost everything....Including the Head Unit(s) ..amp And you need to cut the end of the amp wire connector to wire in the new amp...Have fune

You can replace the Bose speakers with a pair of Focal 5WS w/o too much effort.

i tried that last night, i though the subs would have been 8"...........WRONG there is 2 5 1/4 speakers in there, i tried to get the impedance to go to 4 ohms.....no luck there the highest i could get them was 1.5 ohms.............i am think i might replace them with a good set , just to see the diffrence...i took pics if you want to see
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hi all
Just a quick question, how would one remove the factory Bose Sub Box ,thats sits atop the rear deck lid??
I think its pretty simple, but one just never knows with P-Cars.
Thanks in Advance
Paul
How much does the Bose box weigh?
In order to make the Bose box work, is there an extra amplifier or something somewhere that also adds weight?
My car doesn't have it and so I'm trying to figure out how much weight I saved by not having it in my car.
Regards

I am just starting to redo my system on my 2004 C4S. Where did they hide the Bose amp? Used to be under the driver's seat, but just the alarm system under there now.
There's some conflicting info floating around about whether there is a separate amp for the sub box. In my 2004 C4S there a single amp located in the storage area under the trunk; there is NO separate amp for the sub box (unless it's physically in the same package as the other amp).
The amp is hooked into the MOST bus, so unless you are willing to forgo integration with the PCM and onboard computer, you are limited to swapping speakers and adding a piggyback amp. But swapping speakers and adding a sub amp makes a big difference.
