Bose Air Raid Siren

[Ben Kwan]

The same thng happens with the passenger side speaker on my 92 100CSq.
 The siren sounds seems to happen more often when the outside temps
are around 50-60F.  If the outside temps are in the single digits then
I'll hear this weird warbling/sizzle noise.

I think someone on the list recommended the following place for
replacement units:
