Front bose speaker source?
Does anyone know a source for new front speakers for the 90-96 bose housings (tweeter and driver)? I'm trying to retain the system in my 91 and just need one set. Even with spares from eliminating the bose in my other 2 C4s I have no good front speakers.
Thanks!
Thanks!

The speakers themselves are fine, it's the amplifiers in each speaker that are that are kaput. The capacitors in those degenerate over time and even if you found a new never used pair, which are now 25 years old, they probably would not work correctly. There are a number of places that rebuild these (replace the capacitors), even Bose does this for $49.95 apiece. Or if you are handy, you can take them out, remove the caps and resolder new ones in for about $10-15 for new capacitors. Search on here and YouTube.
