Just today, I noticed a unusual sound coming from the rear drivers side speaker. The music was distorted sounding. I assume the amp for the rear drivers side is going south. Thinking of picking up a used speaker/ amp for the 92.


Any thoughts?

Yep, you are on to it. Swap an amp and I'll bet you are good.

Thanks, just made offer on a used amp/ speaker for $80 with free shipping. If it doesn't work, I'm just out for the return postage.

So you're going to screw over an Ebay seller who won't get back the cost to ship to you.

yes, but the seller is still out the cost of shipping to you if you return

The ad says "Great used condition", so why shouldn't he return it if it doesn't work?

Cruisinfanatic

I agree, but the way I read it the OP states that he'll send it back if it doesn't correct his problem. He states he'd be out only return shipping. That means works, but don't want it now
If it didn't work (defective) the seller would be out both shipping costs

Yeah, if it don't work, it gets shipped back on there dime. It's their deal. How much better can it get than taht. How about YOU stop over and do the work for me, I'll provide the beer.....

If you are a good soldering iron driver, you can just replace the large electrolytic capacitors in the power board. That's what usually ages and goes electrically bad on those. If the speaker cone itself has dried up, split or warped where the voice coil is dragging on the magnet, it's pretty much a wipeout because of the weird size and shape of the Bose made speaker.

So that's why I'm replacing the whole speaker unit, amp and all. The previous owner had the CD fixed. If the system continues to give me problems, time for an upgrade. I miss a DVD player as I've got 100's of live concerts on disk.
