Hello - I have power to the amp with blinking lights no sound - only a rythmic thud out of the woofer every 15 seconds.

try a tire retailer and have the front wheels removed and tested on a balancer
possible belt separation under the tread

Little late I know, but.. when you power off the tv it SHOULD turn off about 25 seconds later. Assuming thats how you have it hooked up is directly to the tv.

be sure it is set to synch.. (discoverable)

Chances are you have your woofers wired in parallel i would rewire your speakers in series and that should solve all your problems.

Recheck your wiring and instructions. If your woofer is self powered perhaps the amp is no good. Actually it better have amps since the laptop output will not power those speakers.

I would put a 40 amp fuse back in because it could be restricting flow

You might check your ground cable for poor connection. If it is attached to the painted chassis of the automobile, the paint needs to be scraped off a little. Or go to a local audio shop or Walmart and buy a cheap capacitor. It is supposed to hold power in itself providing the amp constant power for just this reason.

I would double-check your RCA's on the amplifier. You should hear a thud if you unplug them. If not they are either not hooked up or defective.

The sub contains the amp for the other speakers. But it sounds like the amp has a seriously damaged section and will probably have to be serviced by Bose.

Enter into the Audio Setup mode(press and hold volume button for at least 1 second). Next, repeatedly push the volume button until the display shows "2 ZONE". Make sure this feature is turned off. Hold the volume button again for at least 1 second to leave Audio Setup mode.

Now you need to make sure the Subwoofer Output is turned on. Do this by holding down(AM position) on the control knob(toggle stick) for at least 1 second. Each time the button is pressed, the Subwoofer Output is turned ON/OFF. the display should show "SW ON".

Next, you can go into Audio Control mode(press but do not hold volume button). Keep pressing on the volume knob until "Sub-WLevel" is displayed. Here you can adjust the amount of gain for the Subwoofer ranging from -15 to +15.

I hope this fixes your problem with it.

Cheers
