Pt. 1 BOSE PS Subwoofer Teardown DISMANTLING Lifestyle LSPS PS18 PS28 PS38 PS48 Amplifier Repair 

Hey I got the link for this amp repair that every one wants!! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6jwnNCbIv2Y.html

, it's amazing how much sound comes out of those small speakers. all because of the cabinets. wave guide & transmission line cabnets rock.

I sold stereos for 15 years. We used to get Bose products for free after accumulating enough points. I kept a pair of 301's. I got a few AM5's and sold them all . ALL OF THEM. I used to money to buy guns and some other toys. I liked JBL and DCM speakers a lot more . Harman Kardon for receivers and amps.

Somebody gave me a pair of those drivers and I built a speaker with them and some tweeters and it really sounds awesome, I couldn't believe the bass they deliver.

Hi, I have done the same think with my companion 5 sub,not because the driver gone bad just because I am a curios guy and just want to see the size of the speaker. Instead of pulling those grills off I used a very small and thin saw and if I want I can glue them back without see the gap if you are meticulous :) Good job any way

Thanks for all the Thumbs-up!!! I hope I helped...

This is why i don't buy bose.. its cheap made and overpriced as hell.

How about also showing the box construction inside for speaker builders and enthusiast

wow those stamped steel basket drivers look really cheap.

If you ever find 10.2 series 1or2 for sale buy them. Mine are from 1988 and still satisfy with quality recordings.😀

I have a bose V25 and the sound for watching Movies are awesome but to hear music doesn't hear good enough with bass. Some people want more bass on there music. I don't care I watch movies and play PS4 which is sounds awesome. This speakers where made for sound clarity and size. Just buy what u like.

While I admit bose isn't the greatest, my passive sub with 3 of these woofers when connected to an older amplifier that wasn't designed for a powered sub, will produce bass that is supprising for its size.

Nevermind the fact the Drivers have a Plain look to them....looks arent everything especially when you wont be seeing the driver....Rubber surrounds & Paper Cone's are perfectly fine....Stamped Steel baskets are OK but Cast Aluminum is better. Particle board enclosures with Plastic Faces seem relatively common in the Consumer audio market.....i really dontt like them...the particle board itself is usually pretty thin and undampened...coloring the sound not to mention there's usually no additional sound absorbing materials...add this to the fact the Woofer Box is usually Tuned pretty high with a port tube thats usually too big or too short.. There's barely an excuse to use it when MDF is not just insanely expensive....but its especially inexcusable in this price range. the Point im making basically is......Most bose systems i have heard sound anywhere from Just OK to Pretty good. Do i think they're Overpriced for what you get?? Absolutely. Do i hate Bose? Not At All...it's just when i buy Audio Equipment i feel like i can get something of Equal or better quality for a Better price as far as consumer grade audio goes.....and let me not even mention the possibilities that Open up in the DIY Audio world.

Was expecting die cast baskets and large dia dust caps to hide large voice coils. Lot of good looking plastic tho..

I've had a few stereos in my time . two Bose . An I love the bose for sure . I would like two cubes an a sub again. Rather than anything else small hidden an awesome sounding

Wow he didn't get arrested by the bose police (they come everytime u take a grill off or damage a speaker)

do you have some of those empty boxes, i would like to buy one? i have water damage on mine the rest works fine

the speakers are looks cheap but the box assembly is very good to produce good sound

I want these drivers if you are still sitting on them. If you did do the project I gotta see it. Reach out let's connect!

Those cheap looking speakers are tuned to that enclosure, what are you doing with them exactly?

Eighties Nut - thank you so much for posting this video; it is the only one of its kind. I am trying to *replace* the speakers in my PS28, and was immediately puzzled by the plastic bracket that stands in front of the speakers. Close inspection indicated incredibly glued together housing that would not release that plastic grill - I see that you are recommending that it just be cut out. I hate to bother you with a question since you have already put so much time into this video, but I wonder if you would be willing to help. Before I go through the trouble and expense of ordering 2 new/used subwoofer speakers for this unit from eBay, I am still puzzling over whether or not the speakers are at fault. When we are watching a movie at a medium to high volume and a 'seismic' scene comes on (like a thunderstorm for example or a stampede) the subwoofer lets out an incredibly disturbing sound sort of like a "buzzer on steroids" (It is so hard to describe, the closest I can think of is that "Eighties" game Operation when your tweezers hit the metal and it buzzes at you"). I can only imagine that it is the speakers because it is more than just vibration - the sound is being amplified. However, upon taking off the grill and just *looking* at the speakers, they look just fine. Is it possible for these type of subwoofer speakers to look fine but be defective? Or do I have some type of problem with the cabinet or amplifier? Also, if you plan to reassemble and use the unit as I do, will cutting out the plastic anti-crush thing affect the vibration of the grill or anything negative like that? Any advice you can offer would be much appreciated. Again, thank you ever so much.

all this acoustic fuckery at a premium price.

We had a Sony SW101 Subwoofer that was a mere £120 in the store at the time of this things release.. and it wiped the FLOOR with the Bose's Sub box. If only I could get my hands on one of those brand new! I also HATED how the Bose box didn't do 30-45Hz very well. Where as the SW-101 kept it tight at all times. It kept the ceiling loose tho so we had to sell it! lol!

Bro do you mind telling me what type of fuse is on a lifestyle 28 sub? I took it apart and lost the fuse.

I want to know how many watts exist in every subwoofer speaker? As I have same model's subwoofer but circuit is damaged. I intended to make another subwoofer using another circuit.

my question is if the wires are so short how do they mount the drivers while attaching the wire, my guess is the drivers are mounted with the side of the box not put on as yet.

nice

Hi,please how many watts is this Bose speaker,thank you.

always wondered what was inside

so you CANT take it apart. period. These things are over engineered like an Apple imac. i remember the ridiculous amount of bolts, bars, screws and weird shaped panels to remove...

its not so much as the speaker its really just the box it has a bunch of chambers that the air moves threw and it sounds really good

hi wish you could have shown a better internal view of the box

The 150 year old Helmholtz Resonator is "Patented Bose Technology". What a crock.

It's a T-line box or it's a simple ported one?

What manufacturer in their right mind would design a speaker system where you can't remove the drivers without cutting away part of the box? Really poor design choice. But I'm not surprised because it's Bose.

Could you show me how is structure of the box ?

they have a loud bass dude except the cerwin vega cls 215 6 15 12 15s 12s and 10 has deep bass

can the fm tuner be used manually to change radio stations? If so How? my remote stopped working on my lifestyle 18

pls...bose 321 acustimass module....how to change the driver???

no highs, no lows, must be bose. or Bose, better sound through marketing.

hey have you tried taking apart the PS28 iii ? I have one with the speaker system and i can't seem to get it working, so i'd rather use the speakers and amp for a project i'm doing.

Nice black speakers.

Hi, I have one of these unfortunately I lost my power cable. I plan to use the speakers in my car, can these subs be used with a car.amplifier? Thanks

Are the woofers wired in parallel or series?

what is the sub, what are the specs and werecan i find one. and a box for one????

What do you do with that now?,You are obliged to cut the wire to get the hp at the end?Of the butchery you do. Or I did not quite understand the usefulness.

I have a Acoustimass 30 series II sub and I am trying to use the amp to power other speakers i have. But i cant figure out how to get a singal to it thanks to bose and their 13 pin connector. So how do i get around that?? PLZ help

is it possible to buy those speakers online?

Keep the stuffing too XD

Wow 6" sub? what kind a bass do you get out of this, the woofer on my bookshelve speaker is bigger than this.

Does anyone know the driver size of the Bose bass module 500 subwoofer? How many watts?

Is it possible to install in a car and still get the sound

this is killing it. 😂😂😂

Does anybody know the power rating of those drivers? I have the same ones and built a box but I need to know how much power I can put on them. I tried with a 2*100 Watts amplifier (TDA7498), it was moving them OK, no clipping but the amp fried. I think the amp can't handle 4 ohms, the ebay seller published 4-8ohns but STMicro (TDA manufacturer) says 6-8 ohms. I'd like to try the TDA7498E, rated at 2*160W at 4 ohms

What ohms are those subs

Sir I want PS 28 in put cable and remote

what r there diaphragm made of paper or plastic or aluminium

So many better alternatives to that junk: Monitor Audio, B&W, JM Lab, KEF, Tannoy, Cabasse, ...

_Normally_ "BOSE" is supposed to be super quality to bad, that these speakers are NOT magnetically shilded ( even 80 € 2.1 Computer Speakers from Creative [ like SBS-390 back in 2005 ] are magnetically shielded) What about an electronics tear-down ? ( my Creative SBS-390 lasted from mid 2005 until a mouth ago [ 10.5 years ] - one speaker [ 4 Ohm 5 Watt] membrane now defective, defective speaker replaced with Elta 3500 diffusion-radio [ 4 Ohm 10 Watt] with defective electronics )

why would you need to take it apart

dude why you do this? are you crazy? ahaha pls stop lol

what is the power handling of those subs?

PS28ii compatible to PS28iii?

Yaaaa I heard the gas came out when he opened it.and the smell tooo......farrrrt

I tried to conec on my car not support my implifier..

The way they build this stuff is fucking ridiculous

The speaker cables are very small. Sure, they are not long. But depending on Power ect i think it is not far away that the cables will affect the sound quality in a bad way. But just guessing. I mean Bose is not that quality anymore. You more pay for the name Bose. back in the day it maybe was a good and high quality brand. But that was the past....

Hey where is pt 2?

bose is not crap. its over price.

The magnets are not even shielded!

Dopo questi video dimostrativi il mio Lifestile 8 varrà 50€ (euro)

Why would Bose sell their products cheaper than they can?

many say that bose is good ... so the finish. But for me it's just cheaper shit for a lot of money.

Don’t get why you are hacking up this subwoofer?

Nije mi jasno zašto neko mora da razvali ovako nešto?

these arnet as bad as some white van speaker. i love the cubes cause of there size. but there acoustimass [ not a subwoofer] doesnt sound that great. so i have 5 double cubes 1 powered acoustimass and a 15 powered sub. sounds really good. everyone compares other speaker that are much larger. yes bose is pricey. i just wait and get them off craigslist for next to nothing.

damn i had mt dew. its not goin to work :(

For sale

Video is good but too long

Hello sir can you help me please

bose = MIT , the speakers do a 20% of the sound (bass) isn'tthe top best quality speakers , becaus bose works on the box , and psycoacustic ;)

Bose is good but you cannot beat Bang and Olufsen. :)

Bose,,Overpriced Crap,,,,,,,

how many watts are they?

SUB....HAHAHA! Wooofer!!!! (sneer) no energy below 43hz is NOT a sub....it's barely a woofer.

eso no se abre d' rompiendo

why the fucking bose over priced looking normal company product yamaha production quality and sound better than bose

Cheap speakers for bose

бла бла бла.

Bose component parts have always been the very cheapest made. You are truly a sucker and a fool if you buy Bose. They are pure marketing hype, "very emperors new clothes". Bose's profit margin is fabulous because they mark up a sleazy product so high.

1 polk audio tower can sound better than this subwoofer (were talking just the low ends here)

OMG these are called subwoofer :-(

those cheap $5 woofers are the secret to the Bose sound!

You could list like this:Need:1. #2 Phillips screwdriver2. Klein crimpete3. Redbull (kind of warm)Best to have:1. Electric screw driver (and then use it to speed up the video)

Bose 40% marketing 10% sound quality and 50% overpriced

I love Bose

I think theres no other way for good quality than having different drivers for different frequencies. Ofcourse if you never heard a 15-25hz tone you wont need it but once you get to hear some 20hz making your hair move you know whats missing if you hear the same song on some small 2.1's. It totally needs a 12 or 15inch subwoofer for the lows and even better if you get a 15 for infrasonic upto subsonic 10-35hz, 10 for subsonic 35-60hz sounds, 6,5 for low and low mids, 4inch for higher mids, 2inch for 5000-10 000hz and 1more tweeter pair for 8000-20 000hz Oh the joys of full range :)

Still Acoustic Research (AR)....

My Klipsch sound better
