Thank you for this. I stumbled through a bunch of videos looking for one like this that was just step by step the basics and finally found this one. Well done.
It's a Bose.....not bos....bosE!!..And I just couldn't watch enough to help solve my issues, but thanks for trying to help!!...you will get better at it!!!
Very helpful. Watched twice ,& gonna get started.Had stereo unhooked for last 12-yrs.,so need to Kickstart memory on this audio/video set up.A friend gave me this Bose surround system, so it's time !
I got some info that I didn't know before. Thanks. The one question I have is how do you connect the sub to the receiver? I have a single blue wire with a yellow cap. I'm not sure exactly where it goes. Thx
It's very surprising that Bose lifestyle systems can hook up to any amplifier. According to them that the Lifestyle systems cannot hook up to any amplifier as it is proprietary systems. but I'm amazing they way u handle the systems. So that's mean any Bose lifestyle systems can mix and match any AVR receiver Right?
I don't understand still which cable or wire is your signal I see that u connected the speakers but no signal cable or is it act as a pass thru the speaker channels
Confusing video. I watched this because I have Bose lifestyle 28 speakers I have had since 2003 and they still sound and work great. Too bad i have no idea where the wires are coming from that goes into the Sony.
I just install bose acoustimass 6, but center speaker not working. After I check, I switch to another channel (right front and left front) the speaker and cable its ok. Is it normal the center speaker not working?
@@ManGunSong6 well, if you are using right speakers cables and the speaker is working well, I assume the center output is not working. I can't think of anything else.
No Patricio Moniet, to be honest with you I don't remember how I did because it was a few years ago, but all I did there is the way I have it now, and everything works perfectly
Hello ladies and gentlemens I have a question for you. Do you want me to make the video again and do the testing? I can do that I have no problem with that but please let me know if you want to if not I won't waste my time doing it again. thanks for watching the video and subscribing to my channel
OMG YES!!!! Please. My Dad had all this Bose stuff and after he passed and I was in the hospital recovering from cancer, someone stole most of his stuff from my house and it's all I had left of him. We used to listen for hours and hours every time he'd get new Bose stuff. All I have left is a 3 2 1 AV receiver and a cinemate acoustimass subwoofer. I've been trying for a year for Bose to just give me the schematics so I can try to figure out how to connect them myself, but I've never done elctronic. I'm willing to try anything to feel like I'm listening with my Dad again. If you could help, THAT'D BE AWESOME!!!!
Hey where do you connect the extra 2 speakers avoiding subwoofer? Directly to receiver ? My receiver is 7 channel so I have 2 more spots!! Am I right ?
@@cavanguti hello sir, I have an extra box to put extra cables, but if you want you can connect a cable with another is not recommended but the matter is that it works
there is no adapter only the receiver cables go directly to the sub and the speaker cables come out of the sub, that's all you have to do ... if you connect it right; only what remains to be done is to connect the sub to the electricity and that should work ...
Rene Lopez. All you have to do is connect all the speakers out of the receiver then the speaker will bring the sound from the receiver to the sub and that will give you sound
Felizardo Aguilar I don't remember seeing a switch saying on and off and a mind doesn't have that switch. you just connected to the electric power and control it there
Whenever I see this Bose "proprietary" connector, I can't wait to just take it apart and hardwire them to make connection straight and simple. They are nothing but electrical wires sending analog signals, jeez. Connectors just suck, just look at Apple products.
What is the best way to set the Bose in the Advance setting in my Onkyo receiver. I am referring to the Large or Small speaker preferences and the Crossover frequency? Thanks(whom ever answers)
It automatically sets them but you set all speakers to small only very large speakers can be set to large and I'm not talking about just normal tower speakers I'm talking about tower speakers with 2 8inch subs 2 6inch mids and 1 tweeter but anyways set speaker to 90 hz and have bose sub crossed over at 100 hz
The maximum RMS potential power of the sony receiver is useless..Inside the bose module was high to low level suppressor circuit to integrate with the 5 channel amplifier inside the bass module for driving those 5 small speakers.. Estimated watts per bose small speaker would be 50w or less..now the sony receiver assuming 100watts rms rated output per channel. was only attenuated by this bose bass module to match those small speakers.. Why not just buy 2 tower speakers, 1 center speaker, 2 sorround speakers all rated 120W and an active subwoofer.. Rest assured that the sony receiver if rated 100W rms per channel will be more happier and will produce the better quality sound at decent spl level..cheers
hello Sudhakaran Muthukumar the sub has the all connections. if you see that black thick wire has all the speakers wires that goes connected from the sub to the receiver, and all the speakers comes out from the sub . that's how I have mine and it's works fantastic. I know there's a extra blue wires that mine has but I didn't use it. that's the way I have mine sir. good luck.
@@outDood705 you have the out put and input backwards in your explanation. It says right on it that the big black bunch of cables is input. Which means from reciever. The RCA on the sub says output. So they go too the speakers.
Yashwanth Kumar okay well I didn't share that information to you guys but it's all depending what kind of equipment are you buying and how much you want to pay for
Hello Quan so you connect the speaker wires from the subwoofer to the receiver you connect them where are the speakers supposed to go on the receiver and then remember all the speakers wires is going to get out from the subwoofer to the speakers once you do that all of them should work the subwoofer and the speakers.... Well I have mind that way
THEY GIVEN ME AN ACUSTIMASS THE SAME AS YOURS, I TRY TO CONNECT IT TO A TECHNICS AMPLIFIER AND IT IS NOT LISTENED,. what am I doing wrong ? No soud at all-
You keep saying that it's a Subwoofer lol, Bose Does Not make Subwoofers, That unit is a Simulated Low Frequency Module. It only consists of 2 5 - 6 1/4 drivers. Also it is not capable of producing true low Frequency's like A Subwoofer would. This is why Bose has earned the Name Bose "All Highs, And No Lows" because it's basically cheap paper cone woofers for highs, and No True Bass. Sorry, Just wanted to correct you on that. This is why us Audiophiles Hate Bose so much. They are overpriced like Macs, but made Simple User Dummy Friendly for anyone to connect, but the consumer doesn't really care about True Movie Home Theater Experience!!! And You forgot to connect the Low Frequency Module as well, It should be plugged into the Sub out port, and the Wall 120V wall outlet, unless you have a Non Powered Unit, where then I really feel sorry for you because you will have zero bass lol.
nagesh mane well in my case I am not using that blue wire so it's up to you if you can find a place for it but I just live it disconnected and the sub is still working with amplifier
promissing vid, end not so.. a bit disapointing.. atleast you should have given a demo. And truth be said, as an audiophile, any bose system is money wasted thru the drain.. I do not want them for free.
Yeah I totally agree I would rather have really nice receiver that I owned Yamaha.sorry anyone who would spends almost 2500.00 on those is a fool ...my 600.00 that I had Energy take classics would sound better than that.
