[V8] Bose rear amps catch fire?

[Ed Kellock]

I agree wholeheartedely.  I have not heard of this from Bose before. 
Maybe it's just because no one asked.  Either way, I'd go for it
without hesitation.

My '91 was covered by the recall and before I took it in, I removed
one of the rear units, so that I was familiar with its installation
and could verify the work afterwards.  It's not too bad, though it is
tight.  The back corners are the worst of course in terms of getting
at the nut, but it wasn't the worst thing I have to do in a car.  ;-)
