Hi,
Does anybody know how I can get to the center tweeter behind the rear view mirror on a 97 S600? I opened the light housing but couldn't see the wiring to the speaker. Thanks.
take the mirror cover off and you ll have a screw in the center, take it off, and you ll release the center speaker.
just out of curiosity, what are you trying to do? if you're planing on replacing this speaker in the market that could replace the stock one, and its not a perfect replacement. i am not going to mention the one i am talking about unless you say what you have in mind, just to see if you have done your homework! :P:P

Thanks Bayhus. I installed an after market stereo/GPS (Eclipse AVN) and was hearing wizzing noise from the center speaker and wanted to check to see if it's torn. It turned out that almost all my speakers (much less than this center tweeter) were making that noise. Not sure why, maybe I have to bypass the stock amp??

The question would be, was it making noise before you replaced the stock radio? I could be a bad AMP, as you know the system is a two piece affair control in the front, tuner in the trunk, the two channel output of the tuner goes via two leads from each channel to the Bose. The system has seven channels, eleven speakers, fader acting on the Bose. There have been some that have interfaced to the amp with varied results, 92 to 95 have been difficult. The speakers in the rear deck are 2 ohm tied in series, the two in the front I dont know, the two in the dash are for the cellular telephone.
The 95 and up radio uses an adapter and an extended antenna lead also a different Bose amp since that radio has a four channel output.
I would post on the audio forum...BTW you also indicated you had a 92 600 and a 97 600, which one

OK, can I bypass the stock bose without replacing it with another amp? If yes, looking at the amp connector (26 pins I believe) it seems like all the wires are going out to the speakers and I couldn't identify any incoming wires from the head unit. Am I missing something? Regards,

Thanks for your reply Peter. This is on my 97 S600. The speakers were doing OK with the old head unit (Alpine) but not 100% clear but the new unit (Eclipse AVN-7K) there's tremendous clicking and interference and was wondering if I should bypass or replace the amp. Thanks.
the interfierence is cause by the impedance differece between the RCA/HIGH POWER outputs on your head unit and the DIN inputs in the bose amp.
there are 2 options for you:
get some patch cables, 4 cables to be exact, and run them from the head unit to where the amp is, then hook the speakers ends at the amp to these 4 cables, creating 4 channels effect. you ll lose the center.
option 2, run 2 pairs of RCA cables to the trunk and use aftermarket amps in the trunk so you can power ALL of your channels with dedicated amps.

Bayhas,
What you are saying makes sense but need more clarification. In option 1 I'm essentially bypassing the amp and will lose the 4 speakers in the back and center one, correct?
In option 2, I'm replacing my amp but will still lose the rear speakers and the center one. Am I underestanding it correctly? Is there a way to go with option 2 and keep the rear speakers? Thanks a alot.
