2005 LINN amp location DB9
Discussion
Hello
All three of my rear speakers (DB9 2005 coupe) are not working so I suspect that a connector is loose or dropped off the AMP as I understand that each channel has its own Amp it is unlikely that they all have failed at the same time. I presume it is in the boot somewhere---can anyone point to the correct location so I can examine it. It is the basic Linn amp.
Thanks
Pete

Can anyone help with this question?
I too have the basic 128w Linn system, and am after the amp location for the centre bass speaker in between the rear seats.
The volume is really low compared to the two speakers in the front. I have changed the speaker itself, but still getting the same low volume, so now suspect it is the amp playing up.
Has anyone encountered the same problem?
Thanks in advanced for the help!

Thanks 8Tech.
Is it the protruding part in the pic you are referring to?
I suspect this is for the 260w or 950w system, as the boot in my car is flat, doesn't have this part (I have the basic Linn 128w)
Curious to check though, but is the bulkhead carpet easy to remove and put back?
Or could it be behind the rear seats?

The 120W is behind the panel in the boot, it is quite small and silver. like this one on a Volante we have in at the moment. The amplifier is in the centre of the image. This one has had some additional equipment added, but its not really been done very well, so we are taking out and redoing.
Thanks James!
What would you recommend as a potential replacement for the 128W amp to improve the sound, if I were to keep the front two speakers and I have replace the rear centre speak with Rockford Fosgate P2D2-8 sub. The issue I have right now is there is no bass at all from the rear centre.
I read in the link below that the rear centre speaker is powered by a separate 40w amp, I assume this is integrated together in the silver box with the amp that powers the front speakers?

The awkward bit is the MOST fibre optic. Audison do do a signal processor (https://www.audison.eu/products/bit-dmi/) that will talk to the Aston and then give you an output to an audison amplifier. However the protocols aren't quite there and you have to have the original amplifier in place still or the audio system won't fire up. The other, in my opinion better option, is to use the Mobridge DA3. They have a version specific for AM, that allows you to do away with the original amp. The DA3 gives you 8 channel output to tune via a PC based software package. However at around £900 its not cheap. This is only the fibre optic converter, you would still need a decent amplifier to power things. These range from a few hundred to several thousand depending on taste.

With reference to speaker choice. Where do you start.... Space is at a bit of a premium either in the doors or the rear 1/4s. I normally build a small MDF collar to allow slightly bigger speaker choice but then you are constrained by the external panels of the car. Unless you start cutting holes on the car to allow surface mounted speakers, but that is against what we do and would look grim....
This is my own experience, I'm sure someone will be along with other ideas shortly.
All the best, James
