I've just wired in my in dash satnav and it's gone a bit wrong, I've been stupid somewhere but i just can't see where, hoping for some inspiration :)

 

it all worked fine, aftermarket stereo wired in, both front speakers origonal bose ones with built in amps working fine (no rear speakers) power to amps taken from headunit electric ariel switched output

 

so i add the in dash sat nav, Y-split the permanent live, switched live and headlight feeds; attach ground to stereo ground point; short handbrake and reverse sensors to ground, feed speed sensor from speed sensor connection in passenger footwell.

 

now the sat nav works correctly, but the stereo dosn't - the headunit powers up, plays CDs, ariel goes up etc. however:

 

with sat nav screen open only get left speaker and only high frequencies, no bass

 

with sat nav screen closed i get no sound at all

 

 

please, what could i possibly have done wrong ?

Bassollogist where are you? :D

 

He should be able to sort it

.... aftermarket stereo wired in, both front speakers origonal bose ones with built in amps working fine (no rear speakers)

At a guess I'd say this could be the problem.

 

power to amps taken from headunit electric ariel switched output...

Does the ariel go up when the unit is working? If it don't then your Bose amps won't be working!

yes the ariel goes up, also i would of thought i would get nothing rather than just no bass if that was the problem

I really like the sound of the bose when they are working properly, they just don't go loud enough so they will be going at some point, havn't worked out how to fit a loud enough system in a convertable... yet . off course if you fancy the challenge......

 

I might take you up on the offer of coming over for you to look if i don't have any inspiration in the neantime, however it won't be till after the gear box is replaced as it's a bit far to go with only 2 gears :)
