[V8] Bose Trouble

[Jason Wilkerson]

My first guess would be to check the wiring to the amps - specifically in the area of the front door jambs - this is a known area for wires to break.  If you have a short it could cause your symptoms.  Secondly, as others have mentioned I would think that you have a bad amp - it could cause all the channels to act funny - although honestly I don't really know how it is wired internally - so that is just a guess.  Good luck, hope it helps.
