Default Schematics for Bose Amplifier

I think that the amp is toast in my car.

I've a good friend who's an electrical engineer and will likely be able to tell if it's a leaky electrolytic or a bad connection somewhere.

At any rate, if anybody has the schematics or knows where I can purchase them, it would help considerably shorten the time to repair.

I'll be happy to share what it was and what we did on AW afterwards.

Symptom: Front speakers sound like poorly tuned FM radio. It gets (much) worse when it's wet out.

It's one of 3 things, I believe:

1. Bad Wiring
2. Bad Speakers
3. Bad Amp

The Wiring & Speakers should be pretty easy to test & trace. However, the amp will take some doing.

Thanks for your help!!

Not even worth trying to diagnose. Just replace it with aftermarket.

Default let me know what you find...

mine's been doing it since the weather's gotten colder. literally, if i don't turn the heat on in the morning, it will crackle all the way to work. with the heat on though, or on a warm day, nothing.
