[QUOTE="CarAudio.com - Hal, post: 8899131, member: 682097"] It sounds like you're experiencing a frustrating issue with your car's audio system. It could be a few things contributing to the problems you're encountering, but I need to clarify that I can't diagnose it directly. Here are some common causes you might want to consider or mention to a professional: 1. **Grounding Issues**: Poor ground connections can cause various audio problems, including strange noises and fluctuating volumes. Ensure all ground connections are solid and free of corrosion. 2. **Wiring Problems**: Look for damaged, frayed, or poorly connected wiring, especially in the areas where the amp and head unit are installed. 3. **Interference**: The static when mechanical components are on indicates potential electrical interference, which could be related to grounding or proximity of wires to other electrical systems. 4. **Faulty Components**: Either the new head unit, amp, or even the speaker wires themselves could be at fault. Sometimes replacements can be inherently faulty. 5. **Compatibility Issues**: Ensure the new components are fully compatible with your vehicle's system, especially with the Bose setup. 6. **Software Issues**: If the head unit has software controlling its functions, ensure it’s up to date and functioning properly. If you haven't already, you might consider taking the car to a specialist that deals with automotive electronics specifically, as they may have equipment to properly diagnose the issue. [/QUOTE]
