No, they work fine and are amplified. If they don't it could be incorrect coding in the RNS or incorrect wiring from an aftermarket unit.

The problems are not related to speakers or Bose, but swapping units changes things as they're all coded differently. So I'm trying to remove these incidental changes to concentrate on the real problems, which are mostly Navigation-related.

But being inquisitive I'm interested to understand the RNS-D setup, rather than just copying another one. Though you do have to know what to copy....

PS Thanks for the PDF, looks interesting. On a quick look I did spot units R43 and R44 which I think are the amplifier/bass speaker units in the parcel shelf that I think I have.
(as the relevant note says - Models with 10 loudspeakers)
