So, on the way home from a Christmas cookie party on Friday. The wife and I are in my 07 Vette. We go about 100ft from the house and we here a pop. I look to see if the hatch is popped, but it isnt.

Then my wife says she smells something. We pull over, pop the hood, the hatch, the doors. We look and the passenger door speaker is fully engulfed. It appears that the speaker has a capacitor, it over heated (must have shorted), and that was enough to set the speaker on fire.

So, the door is lit up nicely. We got the fire out and drove with the car home. The car is at the dealership now.

I knew the Bose sounded TERRIBLE, but now they really stink. (Literally, my car reeks of electrical fire and burnt plastic).

Has anyone else heard of this? I couldn't find anything on Corvette forums, or on google.

I don't have pictures, (it happened at night, and the car was dropped off first thing in the morning on Saturday).

For the record, the Bose system sounds worse than the system I had in my first car 20 years ago. I cannot FATHOM why people like bose.
