Dr Don cured my Bose ailment

[billschroeder5842]

Props to Doctor Dons radio repair.

I sent my original Bose Gold head unit from my 91 to him last week and got it back in less than 4 days. I swapped out my spare (read my anxiety in another post) that was acting goofy this morning and put in the original (now rebuilt) and everything is perfect.

Im going to ride around this afternoon and play some of my old CDs.

Thanks DR!

Dr. Don repaired my stock radio as well, had a CD stuck in it from the PO and speaker amps were fried. He reconditioned the head unit with a updated Sony laser (he said was 1000 times better than original technology so no skipping when hitting bumps in the road), new backlights plus directly connected an auxiliary input cable off the cassette line. The auxiliary input was on a 4 foot cable so I can run it to the center console. I can now plug in my phone or XM radio hidden in the center console so everything looks stock. Got new rear speakers as original are paper and sun will crack them over time. Front speaker are cloth so no need to replace, just replace the amps. I think the radio playing CD's or XM sounds outstanding and have been very happy with it since we did this about 10 years ago.

Max, there's a company in Germany that might be able to help you. Drop me a pm if interested! They are specialized in gm audio and fixed mine pretty well.

What are the speakers you got for the rear and did you reuse the amps?

My speakers are 100% with original amps, and seem to sound much better with the rebuilt head unit. If I upgraded speakers will I notice that much difference, or best to save the money and leave well enough alone?

I have no idea which model he used and remember that this was about 9 years ago. Suggest you send him an email and explain your situation.

Thanks a lot for the info!!!

My stock rear speakers were shot as was the amps so I got new OEM Bose rear speakers with new amps for the rear. If your speakers sound good now, just enjoy them. Our amps and speakers are tuned for the Corvette. I am amazed at how good the Bose system sounds.
