The speakers may have a label that has the voltage printed on it.
You can check the Bose WEB site for the specs of your model speakers. You need to know the polarity of the connector, if you get it wrong you could destroy your speakers.
You may need to contact Bose support if the specs do not help you.

SOURCE: Bose Companion II Computer Speaker: The AC power adapter burnt

My puppy chewed through the cord for my a/c adapter, I just took the speakers into Circuit City, and they found me a workable replacement (the replacement isn't BOSE, but it works just fine).  Hope that helps!

DC to AC power cord Do they still make them if so under what name or product name?

"DC to AC" cords are not really a common item. They are called "Inverters". Typical inverters are 12VDC to 120VAC and are found in mobile applications to operate houshold current type (120VAC) devices. Inverters cost many times more than thier "AC to DC" or "AC to AC" sisters.

An "AC to DC" and "AC to AC" cord however, is a very common item. They are usually called simply "AC Adapters" and are sold in many electronics stores (Best Buy, Fry's, etc.) and electronic specialty stores (Radio Shack) and electrnics suppliers (MCM, etc.) Nearly all of them are designed to reduce the voltage in your home (120 VAC volts alternating current) to a different but usually lower voltage that is either AC or DC.

In order to select the proper AC adapter, you need to know:
(1) Input Voltage - this is the outlet voltage - often 120 volts in N. America, (2) Output voltage - this is the voltage the device needs and is often indicated near the jack, The adapted must match this voltage. (3) the device voltage type - this will be either AC or DC. The adapter must match the type as they are NOT interchangeable. (4) the size and type plug on the cord that will allow it to mate properly with the jack. There are many, many types and it should be tested for fit prior to plugging in and must match the device jack (5) the power requirements - this is usually shown as a number in Watts (w) and / or Amps (a). It is very important that the apdapter power rating is equal to or greater than the amount specified by the device. Failure to meet the requirements above can cause failure of the device, adapter or both.

I hope this helps and good luck!

Can i use AC Adaptor that has input: 230V-50Hz output: 9VDC to Creative SBS 2.1 370 Speaker?

The Creative SBS 370 Works on 11.5V AC (IT IS NOT DC) 1600mA (Means 1.6 Ampere) and 18.4VA. So, the Power Adaptor which you connect to the power socket behind the woofer is an AC ADAPTOR and NOT A DC ACAPTOR.

My BOSe dockstation speaker started smoking today when I reconnected the AC adapter

Does your electricity fluctuates,that might cause.
.

If your AC adapter has a voltage regulator that might also cause the damage.if the voltage is too igh for your system it night cause the damage.

You can get a replacement and watch out for those things before connecting next time.

I lost my GE Ultrasonic 2.1 Speaker power adapter and i need need ones but i dont know what to buy, the voltage it requires..6 or 9 volts?

at most electrical stores you can buy a universal power adaptors with a selection of socents to fit most connections. and which has a selector on it for various voltages settings.
take one of the little connectors and see which one fits. then checking the polarity on your device set the polarity the same when plugging the connector into the power supply cable. adjust voltage as needed.

Warning: when connecting a variable power adaptor alway connect on the lowest voltage setting and work up as too high voltage can distroy your appliance.

Ac adapter for my GE speaker system

This is an old type of PC speaker system. Can it be powered by batteries. How many batteries needed??
Multiply the number of batteries by 1.5 volts and you
get the voltage rating of your needed adapter. You can also take a look at the back of these GE speakers. Maybe you can find the voltage rating.
You may also consider buying a new set of PC speaker that can be plug direct to your power outlet.
You can buy it at a cost slightly higher than your
needed adapter.

Voltage adapter

NO, it is very under rated and powered. You need an 18 volt and not a 12 VOLT. They should not be that hard to find in an electronics store. Also the amp rating is also important. Make sure you are matching both amps and volts AC or DC to the the label on the woofer or you could end up blowing the out.
