[V8] Bose amp capacitors...

[urq]

... pretty much all electrolytic caps will fail over time ... I wouldn't 
choose against the Nichichon parts just because they're the same as the ones 
that you've got now ... from my point of view once you do the cap 
replacement it will most likely be good for the rest of the time you'll own 
the car ...

Funny, I've never had that much problem with getting the inner door pieces 
off or on myself ... except for that stupid lock switch on the driver's door 
that the '91s have ... there's so little space for the switch and the loom 
is so short ... the switch pops out while trying to install the inside latch 
release mechanism ... I might well be doing this later today on #344 ...

Hi' yall,,,,went thru all my printed out stuff on the amp repair (ordering 
capacitors for friend to do repair) and had some questions......Found many 
people pointing to mouser.com for part #'s and realized that "nichicon" is 
same cap as in my amps......gut reaction is "nichicon must suck".....Digikey 
specs panasonic caps....which without being an electrical engineer, makes me 
want to go with them......but there is way more info on you that have used 
the "new and improved" nichicon caps.......wondering if anyone has had any 
problems since replacing them......Ripped the leather on one door getting 
the latch back in and would love to never have to take these out 
again.....Anyone replaced the speakers during  this process and what did you 
use......sincerely Tom
