I had the "hiFi" system in mine and the PO installed aftermarket (4-ohm) speakers on the factory 2-ohm head unit and amp.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

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.

2 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Any audio heads out there? I have a static or some kind white noise fuzz coming from the speakers. I noticed it on my stock single din radio but not too much and was able to turn it off when I powered off the radio. It's only there when the radio is on with no volume. I have an aftermarket alpine ilsx-w650 double din just installed and now it's a bit louder and I can't turn the radio off so the noise is always there when the radio is muted. You can't hear it when there's some volume. Anyway to get rid of this? With a noise filter or ground loop? Or maybe I should get the add on amp offered for the alpine and bypass the stock bose amp?

POST 2Original post

I'm no expert but from my learning, it has to do with the 2-ohm Bose system trying to hand the 4-ohm output from your new unit. I had the "hiFi" system in mine and the PO installed aftermarket (4-ohm) speakers on the factory 2-ohm head unit and amp. I switched to a Sony head unit and two Alpine amps and eliminated everything from the factory system. Also was careful to run a larger ground wire to isolate noise from the alternator. Sounds much better now.
