Hello, I would like to have solutions to my problems because recently I installed a Bose sound system of a 2003 LT Avalanche in my truck listed above. when I turn on my radio I have no sound that comes from my doors but just one that comes from the center of the dash and the sound is perfect in the headphones back in the mini radio behind the console, but my radio works perfectly it . I would like to know how much volt requires to operate a car speaker because I have a 7 volts.

Hi,

What type of radio was originally in the vehicle? I ask because many of the upper-level systems have a separate AMP that power the speakers.

Please see below for OEM options so that we can try and identify the issue.

Let me know which Bose you have and what it replaced. Also, let me know if the Bose was working when it was removed.

Also, keep in mind the wiring is likely different and the original connector, if it was used, may not work for this radio.

Take care,

Joe
