Bose Radio Issue

I have a 1998 C280 with 82,000 miles. I was on a 5 hour road trip, with my stock bose radio playing and stopped at a convenient store to get something to drink. When I started the car back up I had no sound coming from the radio. It was like this for the rest of the day. The next morning I started the car up and turned the radio on and the sound played fine for about 30 seconds and then it faded out again. For the past couple of days this is all I've been getting. Should I be looking to replace the radio or is it something more than that?

thanks.

Sounds like an amplifier problem

Take a look at this thread http://www.edmunds.com/ownership/tec...2/article.html
before you get a new unit.
