Hey I got the link for this amp repair that every one wants!! kzbin.info/www/bejne/bJvan4F5l66paLs

[@timschutte8310]

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

[@luiggimondoli]

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.

[@abovelunar3488]

yo I recently scored this unit for $30 from a thrift store but its just the bass unit (ps28) with no cables or anything else and I want to do that exact thing. I'd greatly appreciate it if you were willing to share some info on how you built it and where can I find documentation for the drivers

[@BROWSKIMUSIC]

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

[@joeygonzo]

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.

I know a lot of people beat up Bose, but I have an acoustamas 5 system with 301s in the rear and it sounds great. It's clear as a bell and fills the room with music or a movie. It's in a 16 by 24 den with hardwood floors and 12 foot ceiling. I've hard to for about 25 years since I was in college. I have no complaints with it.

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

I would like to know the wattage and the impedance per driver, if anyone has the answer (; thanks

[@jangounchained5279]

Its abot 100w sin that small subwoofer.... That is 200w of "musical" watts... which is enough to be loud with GARBAGE quality of sound ! It has 13cm bass drivers (2pcs) and 5cm wide range for satelites (4pcs)... Overall these satellites are too small to reach 100hz where subwoofer should kick in, so YOU HAVE HUGE GAP in frequency response from BOSE - THEY ARE GARBAGE, but impressive one and expensive !!!

[@EdvartValens]

@@jangounchained5279 Yes, indeed I have learnt the bad way. Have a PS28 that had its central stop working and now I'm after an amplifier for the sub (already found for the satellites). THanks for the info and insight on the frequency gap! No highs, no lows, must be bose haha

[@FSXgta]

bose is so overpriced. For no apparent reasob

[@djlobb]

People are very forgiving and apologetic for Bose, I'm not sure why. They create speakers cheaply and sell them for a much higher price. There is nothing special about Bose speakers at all. Anything that potentially tricks you into thinking they sound good is all down to a certain EQ and some DSP. The speakers themselves are made to barely cover the task. The only thing they are good at is making their dual 5" drivers create somewhat reasonable, if not slightly bloated bass and that's because of their wave-guide bass reflex port. The enclosures and speakers themselves on Bose's satellite speakers are pretty average. They don't even use Neodymium magnets. They also never have any kind of tweeter, let alone a high quality dome tweeter.

[@FSXgta]

djlobb My cerwin vega xls6 i bough for new at around 245 USD, they have a 6.5 inch woofer and 1'' dome tweeter with a horn and the bass in those are amazing and i belive they hit much harder than bose crap. They also sound nice and clear with the tweeter

[@unlisted9494]

The thing is, BOSE engineers design amazing drivers and enclosures. After that, the BOSE penny pinchers decide how to produce them as cheap as possible. The prototypes for these sorts of things are very good.

[@seaofredkc]

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

Sir I want PS 28 in put cable and remote

[@eamh2002]

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 :)

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

[@ihacker71]

I would just try and buy a new power cable or wire your own up. These speakers are cheap and are tuned and EQ'ed for the bose sub box. A car amp would most likely blow them or you would damage the amp, as bose does not use the typical amount of ohms other speakers do. And the bose subs most likely cant handle the power a car amp outputs anyway. You would be better off just buying a cheap sub for your car as it would most likely sound better.

[@form109]

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.

[@BrodeyDoverosx]

Good excursion, low resonant frequency, the spider of the frame allows great rearward airflow for cooling and minimized energy loss and a huge magnet allows for good cone control. Yes, this is built to a price but superior among "same class" products.

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

[@koprcord5338]

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.

[@scottterami5411]

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.

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

[@EightiesNut]

Why ask why It is not ours to reason why. No, it's because we used to be a direct repair facility. In most cases if the amp was not worth repairing or was replaced we got stuck with the box and speakers and many many cases a bad amp so we would tear-down the box for the speakers as we tried in the beginning to sell the box with the speakers with no luck and we also started running out of room. At some point we started giving them to local second hand stores until they told us no more we cant sell them or get rid of them fast enough. Around 2008 we started filling-up garbage bin loads weekly.

[@RennieAsh]

The power supply commonly dies - some power drive transistors, surface mount resistors, a chip, few caps need replacing. Annoying to fix and of course Bose probably wouldn't sell you a PSU module, or it'd be silly expensive.

+EpicEverythingDude75 my dad has them too. sound like crap. they don´t even have a real crossover. the woofer plays paralell to the tweeter, what the hell is that? well, they can produce the crossover 1$ cheaper without the components that are needed for a real crossover.

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.

I was regularly accosted by the "White Van" speaker sellers in the 80s In Memphis, TN. I never stopped to see what they were. I assumed "stolen". I was using AR-3a speakers from Acoustic Research at the time.

bose is not crap. its over price.

[@carlosoliveira-rc2xt]

Same thing. You have to judge everything by price or value. A Honda Accord might be a good car for $30.000 but if it cost $300,000 it would be considered crap compared to others of comparable price. Bose sounds a little better than computer speakers but they are not priced as such.

[@BlueRice]

you got a slightly good point but when you make a statement about a product, you cant exaggerate the word crap. if it sound above the average even if the material is cheap then it serve its function as advertised. just because they used cheap material doesn't make it cheap. quality come in all size, shape and material. corvette used fiberglass its cheaper than carbon fiber and more expensive than plastic but people still complain about its cheap material. the only valid statement is the interior. its a sport car not a luxury. being fiber glass because its still lighter than aluminium. a good question is, whats the difference between cheap material and more expensive one? i seen paper speaker on a car last more than the car itself and thats debatable. its the result that matter. if you engineered it correctly thats quality right there.

[@warmfreeze]

30k for an accord is still overpriced :P

[@dylansmiley3999]

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

[@roxywkorn]

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 ;)

[@RennieAsh]

They're just as good as most other drivers you will find in any HT sub . They simply sell it for more because of a slightly different design and then the marketing.

Video is good but too long

Thanks. I will try to get straight to the point next time as I tend to always want to explain too much.
