OK, I'm making a real effort on this Bose but I'm not having a hell of a lot of luck. I had two dead front speakers and one missing rear one. I purchased the three from a guy off Ebay in two separate offline transactions at a heafty price. One of the fronts was dead, he will replace. The rear has a buzz in it. I have reread the posts on repair and spoke briefly with Dr Don's. The links mentioned on attibi.com are not there.
I'm too far in to back out nowand I can hear reasonable potential from the system if it's fully operational. I'm going to buy a complete system with about 2 yrs original usage, been stored since, for $175. I'm planning on repairing (or maybe sending you) the speakers I currently have.
Here are my questions. I took apart the original speaker that I replaced from my front pass. side. It doesn't look bad to me. Does the photo her or the linked photo indicate bad "caps"? The circuit board looks clean and intact on both sides. Dr. Don mentioned something about the neccesity to acid wash the circuit boards to get corrosion off. I don't see any sign of that on this board whatso ever. Is there a spray or cleaner I should use? Is there a way out of the vehicle for me to test the amps? The links are to additional photos. Thanks for any help you can offer.
