a few weeks ago i started to hear what i thought was a bad speaker in passenger door. though it went away for a week or so it is back.   in talking with louie ( my local hot shop owner, Enormus Audio ) he thought it my be the amp for that speaker, but wasnt sure and gave me a number for a bose gurue in fla.        ........ unable to reach him

question 1   before i rip apart, is there an amp for that speaker, and is it in same location?
question 2   how would one know if it is amp or speaker?..... i have seen blown spks before, cone wise,
question 3   is that speaker/ amp interchangable from another bose system that i could pick up at a yard?

thanks in advance

Rick,

the BOSE enclosure has both the AMP and the speakers.
BOSE WILL overhaul for you, often under warranty .. call them.

Yes, just about any Cadillac in a salvage yard with BOSE will have what you need,

BUT

if you are savvy with tools, the problem is often capacitors, often fixed with a $10 part.
We got a member going by the name jono something .. I believe its a hobby of his to repair
BOSE AMPS.
