Can I connect/join to the two bare BOSE speaker wires(coming from behind the wall) to use on the Lifestyle system(the 2nd end requires the RCA's)

I'm not familiar with that system all this does is convert speaker wire to RCA.

Yes, you can. (I designed, sold & installed high-end home theater systems for 5yrs)

The unit is designed primarily as wireless rear surround speakers. They are somewhat a compromise as one is trading the more ambient sound of fixed wired speakers for the convenience of one wireless unit you can hide away till you need it. I imagine you could connect this to any output you could connect speakers to but what are you trying to accomplish?

You are correct, a wire does connect the two speakers. I have enjoyed these speakers for the past year and they connect well and work great. I actually used speaker wire to extend the distance between the two speakers and they both still sound great.

They are wired with a connection that fits the Bose system but in my experience I have used similar wired speakers with other systems by either cutting the connecter or using an adapter. I don't know if there are any adapters that work with the Bose end contenders.

Yes you can use the wire with the jam plus speakers as well. I've tried it and it works great just used the splitter cable or a single cable work as well.

You can, but depending on the wiring, you may have to splice your wires to make it work. I had speakers built into my walls, and just spliced the wires to the end of the things that plugged into the player. It works perfect.

In the previous response I hit yes by accident. I am not sure what you are asking because this is an adapter that you use on some Bose products if you have bare speaker wire. The bare wire could be coming from a receiver, amplifier or whatever you are using to power the speaker. Whatever it is, you will need bare speaker wire coming from that electronic item going into this adapter which will be connected to the back of the Bose speaker. So to answer your question no you don't have to have a receiver to use the adapter but you will need something that use bare speaker wire to power the Bose speakers. Hope this helps with your question.

I have two BOSE speakers with a left and right cable, can i connect these cables to this adapter and then the adapter to my tv to get audio on my speakers from the tv?

Forgot to mention...of course you'll need to have speakers to plug into the receiver as well...but that goes without saying. RCA cables work fine from the speakers to the receiver, but I like to make my own. :)

The end of the wire that is provided to connect the speakers to the rear WiFi unit is fairly long to start with. The end that goes into the unit is a proprietary plastic plug, so no way to do it at that end. The other end, however, that goes into the speaker ends in a normal, two-wire, twisted pair. I would think that you could carefully splice extra wire in at that point and then run the new wire as far as you need it to clip it into the speaker. Hope this helps. Love the sound!

You don't say how you want to add. Assuming that you want to connect to the subwoofer, check impedance on Acoustimass speakers (from specs). If same, then probably yes. Did you call Bose customer support?

If you only have the Bose Acoustimass 3 III subwoofer, it must be connected to a receiver, any brand, can be stereo or 5.1, but you will only get stereo sound, not 5.1, You will need two sets of wires from the two speakers to your receiver, and two sets of wires from the two speakers to the Bose sub.I think I have the four sets of wires, that I can list on Amazon, if interested, let me know, or they nay be some listed already, you need total of four sets Bose 20" speaker wires, they have bare wires at one end, and RCA connection at the other end.

You would have to purchase a special jack to hook to your Bose system. It does not come with the speaker. I would suggest you call Bose to ask what kind of jack would be needed.

you can hook these speakers up to a non-bose receiver or amp which i've done before. You'll have to do some tinkering with the speaker wires to make it work. These bose speakers require the new connectors whcih you can purchase anywhere on amazon. The other end of the speaker wire would have to be plugged into your receiver or amp with banana connectors or other terminal ending. It's definitely easier if you connect them to a bose subwoofer but it's not a requirement. Hope this helps.

Typically anything with binding posts is able to accept both wires and banana plugs but I don't remember. I bought these speakers because a client HAD TO HAVE BOSE but I normally don't recommend or install Bose. I only use them when you already have 5 and need a sixth one or when you have several speakers and one is broken or needs repair.

No... The rear speakers still need to receive power somehow so the system uses a receiver in the back of the room that plugs in and the speakers are wired into that receiver therefore you don't have wires that run from the back of the room to the front of the room where your stereo system would most likely be. The receiver in the back of the room wirelessly to the main stereo unit to receive sound.

You can add wired front and rear speakers. Not compatible with wireless as far as I know.
