Hey guys I have an older bose system that i was wanting to add another subwoofer to as I dont have the bass Im looking for. Is it possible to use the sub output on the rear of my receiver to the input on a new self powered sub while still retaining the bass output on the bose sub ( which drives the rest of the cube speakers) Thanks ! Also reccomendations on the possible new one?

The respond is yes. If you give us your budget I am sure someone will give you lot recommendations in your price range. But I suspect that once you solve your bass problem other short comings of the Bose cubes will get apparent. The modest size of the cubes means they have very small drivers that don't produce much mid range and upper bass audio.
You won't find many fans of the Bose cubes on virtually word forms.

That's what I've gathered through what I've read on here, however, they were given to me so I can't really complain. I suppose my price range is around 200 bucks give or take. Thanks

The best thing is to terminate thinking of the Bose bass module equally a subwoofer. It is miles from being a subwoofer. It barely even qualifies every bit a bass radiator at all. Then, you can hook up a powered sub like normal, and I would set the crossover to the sub (the setting in the receiver) to around 150Hz, for starters. Preferably, you become a sub with an LFE input, which ways there is no crossover in the sub.

Thanks john. I agree I had a VERY inexpensive 5.one system prior to the bose that I have now. The highs and asthetics of the current system are far superior to the old one but the bass is non existant really. I suppose the bass module is actually merely a connection indicate for the rest of the speakers. Any advise on a good inexpensive sub, too practise they connect with a standard single digital audio cablevision or something else, and information technology would connect to my receiver to the preamp sub output i assume? Thanks once more

Many would agree that SVS makes some of the best Sub's but they would price much more than than $200. I ofttimes hear Dayton recommended by many on this forum as less expensive subs. However, I don't take any personal feel with them so possibly someone else can brand a recommendation.

You are correct that Bose uses their bass module equally a connexion point. I believe Bose does this because most of their speaker systems uses some sort of external equalization for their speakers which is housed in the bass module. If you have the sub from your old v.1 organization yous might try hooking it upwardly to you receiver and meet if information technology adds anything to the low end. This would give you lot an idea if spending more than for a better stand alone sub would brand for any comeback.

The best under $200 seems to be the BIC America F12. I've been researching the same thing.

The Yamaha YST-SW215 is a pretty darn adept sub for under $200 - Amazon has 'em for $185 delivered. Every bit long every bit y'all don't have a existent big room it will fill it nicely with shine, full low-cease.
