2009 - 2013 Mazda 6 Bose 9M81 18T806 BB Amplifier Removal and Replacement

2009 - 2013 Mazda 6 Bose 9M81 18T806 BB Amplifier removal and replacement. These Bose 9M81 18T806 BB amplifiers are found in Second Generation (GH) Mazda 6 vehicles and are known for developing problems as they age. Common symptoms are: - No Sound - Machine gun noise through speakers - Loud white noise - Random loud noise when door is opened In my case, I lost sound in the right door speakers. The amp will be sent to a repair shop where it will be rebuilt, replacing all known weak internals with updated parts. I reserve endorsement of any shop until after the work is done. Several such shops exist on eBay. Tools used: 8 mm box wrench (for removing amp from cradle - optional) 10 mm box wrench (for removing cradle/amp assembly from car) 10 mm socket (for removing cradle/amp assembly from car) Screw driver (for removing side panel - optional) Approximate time of job (removal): 30 - 45 minutes. #tutorial
