The problem with the capacitors is universal to our amps, all will fail in time regardless of use. I bought all the components to rebuild the amps myself for about $30 and then chickened out and sent them to Bose.

Bose refurbishes the speakers/amps for a pretty reasonable price. I did all four about 4-5 years ago. You send them the entire speaker/amp module and they remanufacture it and send it back with a lifetime warranty. Cost was $75 per at the time. Stereo sounds great now, clean with good power.

I did install a Pioneer DVD head unit and the adapter harness - this is not something for the faint of heart, but the end result was great and I now have bluetooth to the phone & iPod compatibility.
