ood job looks good hard to tell what kind pf bass comong out unless u are there ive built subs and speakers over the yrs as a hobby looks good keep it up thanks .
That was entertaining. Like a cool version of This Old Sub. And just when I thought a loud version of There's a Tear in my Beer or Knights in White Satin was inevitable.... you bring something to really test the sub to the table. Hats off to you sir... You've done a fine job.
Are the coils from one woofer 8 or 16 Ohms ? If they are 8 Ohms after you connect the coils in parallel from one woofer you get 4 Ohms woofer. After you connect two woofers in parallel you get 2 Ohms and it's not "healthy" for the amp.
I just made one of these thanks to your video. I found the same Bose you used at the goodwill next to a pair of 60’s era KLH model 6’s. I have it hooked up to my ps5. Thank you for this video!
I reccently got a pair of massive polk audio rt2000i towers.. A little pealing, missing a couple feet, but for the price compared to how they sound, I dont think I could care any less about how they look lol. (side of the road specials)
@@Ezees23 whats funny is a few weeks before that, I had bought a 7.1 channel set of polk speakers. The rear speakers in the set didn't work.. guess the fronts are now the rears, and the frees are the fronts! I think I know why the rears don't work, something in the crossovers.
Those drivers are 2ohm per coil, so your pulling a 0.5ohm load from that amp, lucky we didnt see the magic smoke come out, great mod as there is plenty of these old Acustimass modules kicking about and they are pretty good for boomy base, but by removing the internal crossover, you have removed the safety bulbs that are onboard to protect the drivers from blowing, I know as I have done a similar mod, you can overdrive the 5" drivers pretty easy and not know due to the bandpass enclosure.
I was using a voltmeter on three different series speaker from the acoustimass line. They are actually like most other home theatre speakers; 5.6-6.7 ohms rating. Not all Bose speakers are 2ohm.
True, they seem to use a large variety depending on the year, model and series, I have some 1ohm Bose Bass Drivers here as well, but these are usually found in the Automotive bass modules, and I have one that is ridiculous, 0.5ohm rated, I think that is from the Chev Volt, the newer AM10 with transmission line setup are 4ohm and most of the older AM5's are around 6 Ohm@@dannylewandowski2822
I have on old lg 5.1 surround system. It was cheap and for pc. I dont really have the space to do a proper surround system right now. I got presonus eris 3.5 bookshelf speakers that have bluetooth capability. If i were to harvest the sub from the lg system would i need an amplifier board with bluetooth or would the eris speakers bluetooth work. Im thinking they wont but i figured id ask just in case. I mean i know the eris speakers would play but im wondering of the sub would too.
Aren't 3 speakers in that box? I have a similar passive Bose subwoofer and it has 3 speakers inside, 2 double coil and 1 single coil. Great video by the way!
Well-done, a great first video shame you haven't posted since. They are beasts and you can really crank them up. I picked up an Accoustimass 10 from fleabay.
I picked up one of these a couple years ago at the local charity shop. It is in excellent working condition, such as it is. I bought a Fose mini amp with 100-watt, one-channel output for sub which I will run off a Fiio DAC from iMac digital out. Want to pair it with Monitor Audio Bronze One speakers for my desktop. Not quite sure how to wire it. I guess I'll jump the sub out to both inputs on the Bose and run the speakers from the two 50-watt stereo channels of the amp. I'm hoping for passable sound at best here.
I have a AM 5 series 2 and want to do the same thing with an amp. I am currently using them as my rear surrounds but not with the Falcon Cubes. The are paired with Bose 100s. It's sounds so much better. Really enjoyed this D.Y.I.
Your first video? Nicely done. And not bad for your first foray with melamine. That stuff is always a pain to work with. As for the speakers, nicely done. 👍
I have a acoustimas series ll and it has 3 subs in it but problem is the foam surrounds are crumbling and no way of getting them out due to the sealed chambers. I bought them in 2003. Don’t know why they wouldn’t use rubber surround.
Because Bose is super cheap - but at the same time really expensive. Really, they're business model is to use the cheapest parts, assembled in the cheapest ways, and market the sh*t out of it to lure in as many untrained and ignorant "consumers" as they can. It's mainly worked really well because of the lack of knowledge of their customers of what good sound quality and performance actually sounds like.
👏 great video! So I have an Acoustimass 10 series II that I want to do the same thing..I see that there’s 2 extra wires on mine. On one connector I have the same red/white/black/gray but on the other connector I have yellow/green/red/black/orange/brown. I am not sure what the red/black for the latter connector does. I am trying to find out on the web, but figured I’d ask if it was ok to just wire it like you did? Thanks again for the video.
Update, I got both speakers inside the sub up and running. I do not know what the extra red and black wires do but I have taped them off. Sounds amazing
Wow, this was your first video? I think it was great! Too bad the copyright scans got ya on the music. Check out the RU-vid Audio library and that will save you from those issues in the future.
There was no amp in this subwoofer. The device I took out is some kind of crossover that separates out the low pass signals and then sends the input power through the sub speakers and off to the satellite speakers. There was no electric power going into this sub, but there is now!
@@trailblazerb1 strange i picked the same amp up at a local goodwill for $12 and had the amp for the sub and additional 2 outputs that also run through the amp
