Can My Old Bose Lifestyle System Be Repaired? - WB South

..

The only thing you can do to equalize those speakers. Make sure that you have them in faze. + to + and - to - and left to left and right to right. Make sure that your speaker can handle the ohms. (the same ohms) for example If your amp is rated to handle 8 ohms then your speakers should have 8 ohms. The speaker wattage should also be abit more than what your amp can produce. Distortion is your worst killer of speakers.

What makes background sound comes out from Bose lifestyle 38 system is because there is jack cable or a cable that has a jack mouth that brings out a mono sound is being inserted..

Mono cables, when inserted inside a wrong input,it's makes the sound comes out with a background noise just like the one you can hear from it now..it seems as if you are not using the right cable for connection..

To resolve these issue, you will need to use the right cable for connection, by doing these,you will get a clearer sound from you Bose lifestyle 38..

Also it can be from the settings inside the Bose lifestyle 38...So you will need to check both sides to resolve this issue..

You will need to use the manual to know the right cable and the right setting for clear volume..

It comes with special connectors - not necessarily special wire.

You will need the Lifestyle Cables.

Thanks for using FixYa - a 4 THUMBS rating is appreciated for answering your FREE question.

this is possible, however not a very good idea.
Bose speakers are designed a little different than other brand speakers, the Equalizer built into the bose system will probably not sound amazing when you hook up your other speakers. Are you looking for more bass? cleaner highs?

if you want more bass, you could try doubling up your subs, if you want cleaner highs you could buy Bose Jewel Cube Speakers (purchased from a Bose Built-Invisible Dealer

It sounds like the speakers are either peaking and shutting down or they are dodgy. Check the volume going into the speakers and turn it down see if that works, otherwise take the speakers back. It might be worth trying a different set of speakers as well

Yes, there should be no issues at all with just using different speakers. Just connect the 191's as you would the cubes and you should be fine. Please rate my answer, thanks.

Are you useing a digital coaxil cable? or optical cable?(you will need one of these connections to get 5.1 surround!) the white /red rca jacks will not do the 5.1 surround! (back speakers)
Please rate response!

Better is a subjective term. Simpler vs complex is more accurate. I'd go for the separate components if conspicuity is NOT required and to allow unlimited future growth. Sub/sats have their place but nothing beats having full-range speakers alll around the room with some real horsepower to push them.
