Some headunits are extremely quiet when using the 70-7551 harness. You get louder sound when using the 70-7550 harness - The problem is, when using the 70-7550 harness, you get constant mild noise.

The best fix is to install a replacement amp, since you can't really bypass the Bose amp easily, since headunits output 4 channels of amplified signal, and your Bose system has at least 5 channels.

You'll need the swap to a 70-7550 harness to bypass the amp.
