How do you remove Bose Sub?

[Sand8]

Hi,

I have 997 C4S with Bose option. I am trying to gain access under the Bose sub on the back seat. Is anybody know how to remove this Bose sub part? It seem like a special tool is required.

Thanks for the help,

I've never had to remove one from a 997 but I believe its the same as the 996. You can pry off the little covers for the openings of the sound ports and underneath that there is a T30 screw. Pull the box forward and unplug.

PTEC,

Are you referring to the sound port on top of the sub (they are two cutting above the sub behind each rear seat that is not quite completely removable) or, the sound ports that have "Bose" written on them, left and right side?

Thanks again,

Should be roughly the same as a 996 - remove the two speaker grills and then remove the 2 screws behind them.

PTEC, Loren,

Thanks. I got it. Remove the sub port face plate on both side and the T30 screw can be seen. So I guess this is the same setup as in 996, as you said.

Now, I need to find the wire that going into my PSE solenoid to gain control of the PSE manually.

Thanks again,

are you just trying to permanently enable the PSE in sport mode ?

If so, you can just unplug it in the engine bay

10 sec job max

David,

I am putting a manual switch to able/disable the PSE from center console. Actually, I got it done yesterday and it is nice to be able to control the PSE at will. It just a bit more work initially. Specially, finding the correct wire in a bundle of wires that are going into ECU. I used the lighted switch when active and intersting to see how when the Sport button is on (PSE activated), the light went on randomly between 2000-4000rpm. Both on the rev up and down. Sometime, it came on (blinking fast) when the rev down only....very interesting. Of course, when I switched it off, the PSE always on, regardless of the Sport button setting.

Thanks,

Sinclair

Where in the engine bay can you disconnect, to get the PSE sport mode to be enabled all the time?
