hi i am new here can anyone help me i have bose sub 30 series 2 usa made it gave me some kinda burning smell when i put in straight to wrong voltage i have open it every thing looks fine except dat burning smell i have talk to bose aswell they want me to pay $700 to change the power board i have heard there is two cool guys who knws each n everythng abt it plz help me if anyone can thnx.
i knw but i like bose and i wanna fix it can you help me with it i don mind if i have change parts and who is mark i have seen is threads. he knws everythng abt all this stuff can you help me if you are there mark.
jeenu, Mark B., or maybe port will come along to help you, but the repairs are not plug n play. You need to know how to use a meter and a soldering iron.
okay yeah i suppose i dont knw hw to do it i think i should sell the whole amplifier along with power board as is and buy a another one get it work do you knw if any one selling these parts of bose sub
or any of Several HSU Research (new) ......which IMO put down the Sunfire. SVS? Outlaw (HSU sourced?) also options. The lower tier of audiophile stuff is Very competitive. Other used options abound.
700$ to 'fix' a Bose non-sub is a little brisk. Also, I don't know if a true sub will go HIGH enough to meld properly with those little cube things.
Help Pls.... I have a Bose Companion 3 series II multimedia speaker system which my wife accidentally plugged into a 220V supply. I'd read from some posts that i only have to replace the blown fuse inside and it will be ok. I bought this unit in USA, and I want to ask if somebody can help me with instructions on how to convert it to 220V so I dont have to put a step down transformer? Any help willbe greatly appreciated.
You should contact Bose directly. I doubt they will have any help since they would prefer you simply buy a new subwoofer. But you cannot easily convert most electronics from one Voltage to another without the use of another transformer for stepping up or down the line Voltage.
You would certainly have to replace the power transformer which would result in a cost almost equivalent to buying a new subwoofer. From there each component part of the electronic device would need to be evaluated for proper Voltage and needed replacements would be called for. In the end, it is not an easy thing to do and the cost is almost always prohibitive.
Send 'em your junk...they send you stuff that works. of the same type.
I own equipment that will run ANYwhere in the world on any standard voltage of 50 OR 60hz. My DACMagic+ for example, comes with a bunch of plugs which adapt the PS to WHATEVER the wall plug standard happens to be. My Canon camera has a dual battery charger which works ANYWHERE as well....So do my tooth brush chargers and several other 'universal' appliances. Some are marked '90v-230v / 50-60hz' Even my ASP module amps (B&O) will 'jumper' adapt to any voltage worldwide. They have SMPS.
This is more than likely TOO MUCH trouble for Bose who would rather keep everything nicely divided up into territorial fiefs than make things ultimately easier on customers.
