It could be anything. What is near the rad hose that could be possibly hitting it. Maybe fan or the alternator fins? It could be to much pressure as well.

Do you have any idea how long the hoses are lasting? Something is amiss for it to keep blowing them.

Not normal. Replace your cap and then see what happens.

I'd have to suspect the head gaskets.

Yeah, but this sounds like an awful lot of pressure. It doesn't seem like you could get that much unless it was coming from a cylinder.

Actually it's not uncommon for radiators to fail at the hose connection area due to pressure surges. Are you losing coolant before the hose goes?
