Bose Acoustimass 16 Speaker Questions & Answers
Subwoofer blows the internal fuse
possible solution - this can be caused by a fault in the receiver unit. the sub has a triac 'high side switch' circuit that can cause the fuse to blow if it doesn't get a good switching signal e.g. if the receiver power supply is not running at the full voltage. check the plug pack wire for damage, check the 12v input area on the receiver board for dry joints, particularly the power input socket. hope this helps.-pj
Please Help ....i have Bose Acoustimass 10, 5.1 system connected
Usually the LFE out is only a line out and is not amplified in any way, so first of all is your subwoofer self amplified or not? Cause if not, the LFE output won't be of much use to you. So if it's not self amplified you need an new amplifier to put between the receiver and the subwoofer. Any amp that supports RCA line-in input will do. Even a car stereo amplifier will work provided you can get a 12volt power supply to run it in the house. If the subwoofer is self amplified though, then all you need is to make an adapter cause none are readily available in stores to go from a RCA connector to 2 wires. You can buy a virgin RCA connector that you can wire yourself at The Source, Circuit City, or any electronics store you have locally, or if you have an old RCA to RCA wire you don't need anymore, you can just cut it in half, strip the 2 wires and you got you adapter right there.
Left Channel Not Working.
Has it ever worked?
Try this -
connect one pair of its speaker wires at a time and test it. Watch the polarity.
• Make sure all cube speaker arrays are connected to the proper terminals according to their
position in your room.
• Check to be sure all wires are connected to your surround receiver with the proper polarity
(+ to + and – to – wires). Incorrect wiring can result in a total loss of module output.
• Correct any wiring problems before you plug in your receiver and turn it on.
How do you know the receiver's Left channel isn't the fault? Sounds like a source issue.

Problem connecting Onkyo Amplifier to Bose Accoustimass speaker system
This is probably correct as modern equipment uses electronic volume controls rather than potential dividers the range is normally biased towards the bottom end so there is lots of the range that is quiet and a smaller part that is loud.
Unless you find that at the top of the volume range the system does not seem to be loud then it is probably correct. It is not uncommon for modern equipment to clip at 80 / 90% of the volume range. Where as old style equipment with volume pots used to clip at arround 30% of the volume range as it gave the apperance there was loads of extra volume available. In fact all that happened if you turned it up louder was it clipped more and more.

Pyle P22-03ABTU stereo receiver.
Question edited for clarity. It is a 'Pyle' not a 'Pile'.
It is under warranty. Return it, an internal component has failed probably an electrolytic capacitor.
One thing you can try is to disconnect it and move it to another room to discount EMF from something.

Bose wave radio doesn't turn on with the remote but one time in 20 to30 times pushing the power button.
You can check with new battery in the remote. Next you point a digital camera, a smartphone should do fine, at the infra red transmitter on the front of the remote and then look on the camera screen if you see the ir light flash different pulses for each button. Infra red light can not be seen but a digital camera shows it really well. Confirm this with another remote. Now you know if the remote functions right. Remotes are available on-line or one can use a universal type remote. The IR receiver is often welded onto the circuit board. This means that it is not right behind the front panel window. It can be obstructed, perhaps by dust or displaced. This is generally speaking.
