Title: CCR 2006 with BOSE speakers to aftermarket unit (NoSound)
Post by: henke53 on 22 November 2011, 20:00:02

Hi, just got my omega last week and have fallen in love with it, only problem is the stereo, its a ccr 2006 and its knackered! Tape player and CD both not working.
Bought a Pioneer headunit with all the fittings and fixtures. I pluged it all in and it powers up like it should but have no sound at all!
I have went through previous posts and noticed something about BOSE not able to take aftermarket headunits. I put the CCR back in and got sound no problem.
Any help would be great
Cheers :y

Could i get away with replacing just the speakers or do i have to do the whole lot (Speakers, Amp, Wiring)
Cheers

Any problems other than replacing the Speakers Amp and Wiring that you know about?

no not a 5min job  >:(
i know the speakers have to come out as they are only 2ohm
on a bose system the amp powers the speakers, amp is under rear parcel shelf so wiring mods there
imo i would look for a replacement 2006 save alot of hassle and the bose sound isnt that bad  :y

No, you are correct, it doesn`t -

It overdrives the BOSE amp and will burn it out - voltage levels from the Pioneer are too high for correct BOSE operation.

Here is a fellow omega rider that has this head unit now for over one year in his Omega and has not had a problem yet.
