Sub/ Amp installed - feedback from Bose ANC

http://www.diymobileaudio.com/forum/technical-advanced-car-audio-discussion/142984-escalade-active-noise-cancellation-disable.html

I had a single 500W amp and 12" sub installed over the weekend. I'm getting a lot of erratic sound through the sub. Even with the radio off, sound will come from the sub. See above link.

I'm thinking this is the issue because if vehicle it not moving. No issues. Only when vehicle is moving or I give the truck gas is when I get sound from the sub.

So at this point I think it's the Bose noise cancellation mics. But I just don't feel comfortable snipping wires. I would rather get to the Bose sub and hopefully just unplug them to test first.

As note, the shop who installed it has no background with the oem Bose systems. Called another shop and they said they would do different and just remove the Bose sub.

Just looking for anyone who has had similar experience and what they did to correct it. Thx.

you are correct. i had the same issue. after 3 months of dealing with my audio shop and kicker and bose we disconnected the mics. no issue ever since it was done. disconnect those mics.

Ya... I couldn't take it any more. After reading all over the net last night, that was pretty much what everyone has done. I clipped the wire only on the 2nd row passenger mic and that took care of it. Didn't have to do every mic. So feel a little better. Just wish I could have found some info on disconnecting a plug on the factory amp instead. Just don't feel right about clipping wires on a $50K+ luxury SUV, lol.

we just had this issue with a 2012 escalade esv. we disconnected the mic above the drivers seat and it went away.

cool, yea it seems the mic wires are wired in line. Cutting any one of them disables all.

@unoigo My driver seat has two microphones drivers side and one passenger side. Which one of the two is the bose mic?

 

[01Konvict]

Found them, it was the rear microphone on driver side. Cut wire and no more sub noise.

Does anyone have pics of the mic u are cutting.. I have static coming through my door speakers even when the radio is on volume zero and if I have the radio off when I put my blinker on the static comes back.. I have 2 amps installed and 3 12s with a kenwood HU

There are 2 mics side by side above the driver seat. Disconnect the mic closest to rear.

This might sound dumb .. but hoe exactly do u do that.. do you just pop it out and cut it?
