I just recently purchased a 2002 GP GT and it has the factory Bose 8 speaker system with the amp in the trunk. My problem is when the temperature gets near or below freezing, I get no sound from any of my speakers. My stereo head unit (it doesn't have the EQ, only the Bass & Treble controls) seems to be functioning properly - I can eject the CD, change the radio stations, etc., but I just don't get any sound - until the car's interior warms up a bit and BAM! - sound! I bought a 3 year extended warranty when I bought the car in October, but I just haven't had the chance to get it to the dealership yet - I want to try to diagnose the problem a little before hand. Anyone out there experience anything like this? My thinking is the problems lies in the Bose amp, maybe it has gotten some sort of moisture in it that freezes & thaws, causing the amp to either not get any power or not output to the speakers. I'm not real handy with amp/volt meters, so I really don't know how to check the wiring... Later today, I'm going to try to remove the amp and check it over (haven't had a chance yet because of work), I just wanted to get some feelers from you experts! Thanks in advance!

Sounds like there is a problem with the amp. If I remember correctly all the speakers are run from that amp in the trunk. I had a simular problem back in the 90's with an amp I had in an old car. The speakers would sound teriable untill it warmer up.
