2000 Beaver Monterey Dash Radio Issues
We just purchased a new to us 2000 Monterey Redondo 36. While driving it home I turned on the radio and......nothing. No sound although the radio display lit up and showed the selected channel. At our 1st stop I looked around and found no dash speakers, not even an indication that there had ever been any. Then I powered up the inverter and flipped a "Stereo" switch above the drivers seat control panel. Out came some radio sound thru the Bose speakers in the bedroom ceiling along with a lot of humming. I then discovered that the Bose speakers above the windshield had been disconnected. A couple of questions if anyone can help. First, I'm wondering if the only way to play the radio is to turn on the inverter and stereo system. Seems like a bad situation because the inverter and stereo switches are high above the drivers side window and require standing up to reach them. Was this the standard layout for the Monterey in 2000? Second, I suspected the amplifier was causing the hum but I cannot locate where it's installed. It's a relatively large unit, over 13" x 9" x 3" thick, Bose Built-IN-visible unit. So far, I only get the invisible part. Anyone familiar with where it may be mounted? Sorry for such a long post, any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
