Default bose radio?

Has anyone sent their bose radio/speakers to bose for the 75 bucks that was listed on the zr1.net website?how did it go?

If my bose head unit is getting power but the speakers make a squilling noise,
is this an indicate of the head unit needing replaced? meaning i could just swap an after market one in?
Or indicative of speakers?

Speaker amps are bad - doctordons.com repairs them for $75.00. I recommend their service.

I've used them twice and I guarantee you, that they will exceed your expectations ( might be a little strong ;-) )
The point is without hesitation, I use Dr. Don.

A few years ago, I sent all my speakers direct to Bose for repair and I recommend them highly. They replaced all the speakers and the amp boards and it now has a lifetime warranty (to the original owner).



I recently sent the head unit to Dr. Don's to repair the CD. I recommend him highly as well.

Dr. Don is the man!

I need to send him my head unit so he can fix the CD player. I just haven't got around to pulling it.

For mine to replace all 4 amps and speakers at Bose, it was around $400. They didn't rebuild them, they put new ones in the enclosures.

My dad had his rear speakers done by bose and was very pleased with the results. It did take a few weeks to get them back, but not too long.
