Message	Extensive on this particular subject, that being Bose system validation and reliability), there haven't been capacitor issues with other vehicles as seen in the Z32. Bose had only been in car stereos for 5 years when they designed the Z system. They had no real long term data to utilize. Since the Z program, the have abandoned the small individual amplifiers in lieu of one or two central amplifiers. Bigger amplifiers allow bigger components and bigger heat sinks therefore better heat dissipation and less failures.
