Lost Bose Amp RF Shield
I just replaced a bose amp on my C4 (No flaming please). However, during my recent house move I lost the old amp (and therefore the heat sink / RF shield). I am going to home depot tonight to get some metal sheet so I can fab my own.. however does anyone know if there is a good source of these shields?
My understanding is that without the shield the transistors can overheat very quicky.
Thanks

Call Dr Don's they may have an old one they can sell you, or contact Jason @ Vette to Vette, he may be able to help you as well.
Good luck,
Randy

Hi Jeff, assuming the amp is blown, just the shield will be fine. Thanks again! Andy.
