Bose Amps Replacement

[kengodfrey]

I have a 1991 ZR 1. Recently, I had problems with sound sytem, making lots of noise. I was told it was the amps, would cost approximately $200 each to replace. I read in this forum you could send old amps to Bose and get them replaced. I called Bose, and they had new amps for $75 each and did not have to send old ones back. When I received them, I called a radio shop to get price to replace them in vehicle. They quoted $600. I decided to replace them myself, even though I had no knowledge of what I was doing. I downloaded some pics from internet. It took me less than 3 hours to replace them. Total cost for all 4, $300, plus shipping.

Glad to hear it worked out for you. :thumbsup:

I assume your system now sounds like it should.

sure wish i had known about this earlier. thats a good deal. about a year ago i paid $110 for an amp. i think it was from somewhere in georgia i got them. i`m sure there will be a next time. my 90 model has eaten 4 amps in the last 9 years.

I just had 5 amps done by Doctor Don's in Huntsville TX - they charge $75 each and give a lifetime warranty. Turnaround time was less than a week for shipping and shop work. Highly recommended ...

I sent mine off to bose on Monday. They told me to send the whole enclosures and they would replace the amps and speakers. Sending all 4 of them got me a price of $420. Figured after 16 yrs, the speakers could use replacing. The number is 800-766-9524. They no longer give a discount to .net members, but you get a discount on sending all 4 enclosures. I sent the stereo to Dr Don's.

thats a darn good price. a while back i paid about $120 for an amp alone. whats the warranty on the amp/speaker? and thanks for the info.

Got the speaker enclosures back from Bose yesterday, not bad, 2 weeks from shipping to my receiving of them. Faster than I expected from Bose. New amps and speakers installed in all the enclosures. Man...didn't know what I was missing! Can't get it turned up more than halfway before being blasted out of the car. I must say, Bose makes some quality products. Here is one very satisfied customer.

The head unit went to Dr Don's and was a few days faster on the turnaround. Everything works great, looks like new and packaged very well to make sure nothing was damaged on the return trip. Can't say enough about both places to get your stereo refreshed!

FYI,
I also ordered new speakers and amps from Bose for $420. Received everything
two days after ordering. I did not need to send anything to Bose.

Hello, and it is good to see you posting after all these years.:handshak:

Are you saying you ordered the speakers and amps alone, then swapped them out of your enclosures once they arrived?

Correct. The package from Bose contained only the individual speakers and amps.

That is good to know since you can save the time of turn around and S&H to Bose. :thumbsup:

Just for informational purposes, how much was the S&H or was that included in the $420.00?

OK, looks like I gave some incorrect info. While I'm sure I remembered
being told $420 when placing the order, my CC shows a charge of $362.96.
That includes everything, 4 amps, 4 speakers, shipping, etc.

I could have ordered any combination of amps and/or speakers. By ordering
4 of each, I got the "buy 3 get one free" deal. I forget what the individual
prices were, and my invoice doesn't show pricing.

That is a great price. I only need two fixed, but I might get that 3 paid 4th free deal. Itwas directly from Bose right?
