[V8] Bose Amps

[Korn, Bob]

These folks did my amps, repaired 3, sold me one new one, too far gone to
repair.  Very reasonable, and quick.  Around $250 if I remember for
everything.

... no worries Bill, I share your condition ... ;-)

I have been in touch with Bose, who tells me that they will repair the
speaker units for $75 if I ship them in for repair.  I do have another
contact, and I am planning to ask them if they could tell me if it is
possible to purchase new amplifier modules directly from Bose.  As soon as I
have any info I was planning to post ... 

I suppose at this time I could post the other thing I've discovered
regarding the rear speakers.  I managed to get the complete Bose harness for
an S4 ... this included the amplifier box.  What I found was that inside the
box were two of the same amplifiers as are mounted on the rear speaker
modules ... they are housed in a nice metal box which should provide a
better heat sink and contain any flaming capacitors.  I plan to fit this
harness in one of my cars.  It is my understanding that the 100 models of
similar vintage have this same setup, but I have not been able to confirm
this as yet.  My goal was to allow me to install the Gamma CD-changer, which
will allow me to do away with the remote in the center console ...
