My speakers have a loud hum when I first turn on the radio. How do I correct this issue.

Does it go away after a while, or is it always there?

It could be bad ignition wires.

It could be a loose ground.

I found on my 1992 that the BOSE amps capacitors were the cause of the hum. If you go to EBay there is a company I believe out of Florida that fixes them for around $50 each. I was able to repair my own.

Thanks. Can you replace the speakers with ones that don’t require the amps.

Amplifier is toast. Replaced all 4 in my 93. Common problem there is a guy in FL that repairs them a little pricey but done right. He’s actually on YouTube. Each speaker has an amplifier “great job Bose”. Radio was also rebuilt due to CD problems

I found that place about five years ago by chance. Saw a couple of C4’s in the yard, the next day I went to see what John had. You’re right you can spend hours in there. He is very cordial and knowledgeable. He’s also on eBay. Have fun!
