[@jakecrib9971]

I am an old school guy, 71 yrs old. You are my kind of people and I appreciate watching you work and I admire your shop and tools. I have many tools and have worked with my hands on wood and mechanical devices all my life. Thanks for the video. I do have a set of Bose Companion 2 series 2 which have just recently blown. I appreciate the Zippo lighter fluid hack. That's great, thanks.

[@jsherman1503]

thank for the Bose Series ii speaker repair guide.... removing the grill is the hardest part of the operation. My speakers sounded great...many years..... finally that surrounding foam wore away... Love the spkrs ...will repair

[@SirTools]

It's a challenge but the sound is worth it :)

[@SirTools]

Now, if I can just find my old Jimi Hendrix records :)

[@MiguelGarcia-vj7ju]

Thanks...... I was looking for this, just some patience to do it and try to not destroy them, I have this same Bose speakers with the same problem, I will fix them next weekend !!!

[@SirTools]

Number one, do not rush the job and Good luck

I never looked into those gasket kits thats a great idea i have an old Peavy bass amp from the 80s that the speaker needs saving. Good video now I need to go shopping 👍

[@SirTools]

Peavy is worth saving :)

I've been looking for a replacement for the stereo i had in the Army (Germany) Big Thanks for this video! I've got a line on some Bose 501's & 901's, a Revox 12" reel to reel, a Luxman turn table , Luxman 507 pre-amp & 80 watts per channel amp. I was going to buy new speakers for the cabinets but now I'll look into this method. The L.P. is making quite a come back! Time to start recording REAL music again! You know, Jimmy, Janis, The Doors, Quick Silver Message Service, and so on! Thanks again!

[@monteglover4133]

Na Peter Paul and Mary, Mason Profit, Simon and Garfunkel …

[@MrSparkums]

Did you ever find the replacement foam for the Bose?

[@SirTools]

Never did, ended up cutting from old speakers instead.

[@sassafrasvalley1939]

I just gave away a 6 piece set of Jamo surround speakers… they worked perfectly but, my 5.1 Pioneer amp is not compatible with inputs from my satellite system. It’s a shame that they quit respecting backward compatibility when they went digital! Progress! Yep, if you’re in the business of selling new digital sound systems….

[@SirTools]

I had hopes that Bluetooth would solve all that but the industry seems to be trying to force us into newer goodies :)

[@newcruiser]

Aweswome ! Thanks !

[@dhananjaykadam2786]

Dear sir, thanks for your video. I m unable to remove grill. It is glue. Getting damege while removing. Please suggest. Regards.

[@SirTools]

Lighter fluid did the trick here. You might try "goo gone" and careful using a flat blade to pull on the grill. Good luck.🤠

[@monteglover4133]

The use of particleboard* in speakers is because it acoustically dead. *love the name crumble board

[@HankPanky]

Shoot. Wish I'd known that before I destroyed mine.

[@SirTools]

Oh NO....yeah, it happens :(

[@JayZoop]

I dropped my speakers on the ground and hear nothing now. I fear a wire broke or something.

[@SirTools]

OUCH, could be just a wire, if you're lucky. There is a cross over circuit inside too..

[@svenneu7736]

no sound.... no test... bad

[@SirTools]

Still using them to this day and happy now since no more distortion :)
