[V8] Bose rear amps catch fire?

[Pat Gillen]

Thanks, Jeremy.  I think Chris Miller's and Steve Buchholtz archives is
where I started my paranoia with all of their discussion including the
burned 91200q20v photos!

Looks like I'll pull my front and rear part numbers and see if the dealer
will know if my amps are part of the batch with the bad caps.

Hey Pat.  Chris Miller has some great info on his 20v website on the Bose
amps.  You can find the address to his website on my links page.

Does anyone have the specific part numbers of the Bose amplifiers that are
suspected of overheating and burning the car?  My 90V8Q was bot used and the
original owner had the "radio" dealer-replaced 2 times in 1993; his receipts
don't define "radio" or give part numbers.

I have read dozens of old posts on this and have missed this data if it was
ever written.  As I understand the problem, only the1990 and 1991 model
years could have this problem.

Thanks for your help.

Pat
