I did all the troubleshooting I could but I imagine it's the amp that is dead.

I was thinking of swapping it out with a double din head unit (i have the bracket already) and want to know if the head unit can power the dash and door speakers. I would get an amp to run the box behind the seats. Would that work?

I don't mind rewiring the whole thing but wonder if this would be an easy solution as I don't want to have more than one amplifier.
Thoughts?
Search ebay, there's a guy in New Jersey that fixes the Bose Amp. It's a relay in the amp that's dead, but it's fixable for less than $300.
