04_BoxsterS_550

I have an 04 boxster s 550 spyder edition, and out of nowhere, I got no audio out of my Bose speakers. The headunit continues to function, however. Does this rule out the amplifier as the problem? All the fuses are intact as well. Thank you for your help

Check the connection of wires maybe they are loose or not connected properly or you can search on google for the manual of your amplifier for some troubleshooting.

I'm going to assume we're talking about factory equipment here.

If you have no sound but all else functions otherwise I would highly suspect the amplifier going out – it's actually the most common failure point among factory audio electronics. In the 986 w/ Bose your amplifier is most likely on the fiber optic network. I would access the amplifier(in the boot) and unplug the fiber loop. Make sure it has light coming from the head unit. If it does, you'll need to test for power and signal output to be certain it's a bad amplifier.

Could be a few other things, but with a random failure like that out of nowhere, my money is on the amplifier taking a dump.

EDIT: Sorry, just realized this was a dead thread dug up from long ago.

Or fuse on the power amp.
