Default Bose issues

I've seen a few posts concerning Bose repair but none seemed to address the issue I have. My '93 U1F Delco Bose sounds good WHEN all 4 speakers are on. It takes a few minutes for all speakers to come on, sometimes 5 minutes. Is there a thread that addresses this? Is it capacitors? Is it corrosion in the plugs? Some other area of the system other than the amps? Before I tackle the repair I'd like to have some guidance, or direction to threads/videos that address this specific issue. Thank you !

I would call Crutchfields and see what they say. I am not as familiar with the aftermarket shops who repair the Bose systems.
