My Bose Lifestyle 12 - No Sound

What sound are you putting into the system? Have you checked that the audio you're putting into the system works into some other device? Have you checked that you have the correct input device selected? If you have checked that the audio going into the system is working properly and you have the correct input device selected then yes, audio in but nothing out = something is broken inside.

Hi. I got a Bose Acoustimass

Do you have any plan to use the Bose Acoustimass 20 sub/amp in it original form?
Please double check the pins count.
Popular Bose unit has 8,9 or 13 pins.
=====

A Bose third party vendor does sell a direct cable from the Bose Acoustimass 20 to two RCA and 1/8" stereo jack.
You can open the link HERE
Full site HERE
I'm sure you can find other cable vendor at a lower price.
======
I do not recommend you to open the Bose Acoustimass 20 and get the two set of wires out of the box.
It may cause damage to the casing.
======
On the DIN plug.
With notch / dimple facing the ground.
From let to right
1 = RED negative
2 = White negative
3 = RED positive
4 = White positive
5 center = un-use.

Please use an ohm meter to verify the resistance between1 to 4 and 2 to 4 before you start hooking up to the amp.

Please keep my posted on the project via email.

Each speaker has two 4 Ohm drivers. Each speaker has a connector with 4 pins. From left to right they are + - - +. Say 1 2 3 4 . If you want a 8 Ohm speaker connect 2 and 4 together. Now 1 goes to your amplifier (+) and 3 to your amplifier (-). In yor case join black with blue. Now red goes to the amplifier red and green to the amplifier black.

I would like to change the 110 volt input transformer in my Acoustimass subwoofer to a 220 volt transformer. The current number on the unit is 194459. What is the model number for the 220 volt unit?

This information may differ depending on the manufacturer, model, and version of the product. It is critical that any replacement part you select is compatible with your specific model of subwoofer and meets the electrical standards. Making changes to electrical components such as transformers can be dangerous if done incorrectly, and it may also void the product's warranty.
  • I recommend contacting the manufacturer or an authorized repair center for assistance in locating a compatible replacement transformer and instructions on any necessary installation procedures. They will be able to give you the most accurate and safe answer for your particular situation.

Once the speaker is out of the way reach in the cube and reset the plastic coupling so its flush with the inside top of the cube. With both cubes on there sides and the rubber washer and swivel ring in place press the bottom cube, with your finger(s) inside the cube on the plastic couping, up into th top cube until you here or feel it snap into place. Once it snaps into place, adjust the insulation in the speaker then wiggle the speaker back into the cube and carefully put the screws back in.

I try to plug apple

You might want to try connecting the Apple TV to your TV using HDMI, then using the optical cable from your TV to your Bose system. In your TV's settings, there should be an Audio Output option. You'll want to turn off the TV speakers. Optical audio can be a little strange compared to traditional analog. If your cord is going bad, it could result in behavior like you described.

Bose audio input receiver cable 15 pin

You can buy it on ebay but it's cheaper just to make one. If you can solder, all you need is a female 15-pin d-type connector and a bunch of speaker wire. Here is a diagram of the connections.
