Will it work with my Bose Acoustimass 5 speaker system? I intend to install a switch between one subwoofer output and four pairs of cubes: 2 pairs of cubes in 2 different rooms, to switch just the tweeter sound from one room to the other. Thank you!

Switch is designed to take 1 stereo L/R input (4 wires) and distribute to 2 sets of L/R speakers. The "A" position is for one location L/R and the "B" position is for another location L/R. It's a simple set of single pole switchs so you really can use it for any kind of speaker. Hope this helps.

I used the switch for two separate pairs of speakers. 1 pair in my garage and the other on our patio and it works great for that. I would contact BOSE customer support,they helped me tremendously when I was setting up the system in our house and I am sure they will be able to give you a quick answer.

The Harman Kardon 3490 works fine with my 20+ year old Bose Acoustimass 5 II stereo subwoofer / satellite speaker system. I don't have a second speaker system connected to the receiver, however.

No, A/B & A or B combination switch is not is not adequate for a 5 speaker set up. You need a speaker control (switchable) that gives you the option of A/B/C/D. You can engage one at a time or all 4 at once. Each individual terminal will allow you to connect 2 speakers to each channel. If you have a hi powered system be sure to purchase a high power rated speaker controller. Most decent ones are rated to at least 100 w/ RMS.

If the Bose Acoustimass 6 Series II system has individual speaker outputs for each speaker. Then yes It will. All you will have to do is plug in the Bose SL2 transmitter into the R/L rear speaker outputs and then set the Bose SL2 receiver in the rear of your room and run the wires from the SL2 receiver to your speakers. It's that easy!!! Hope that this helps ..... Gerald

Each unit is two speakers connected together. They may be two small speakers, but they are one unit. You need two of these to have a balanced sound. Bigger issue I didn't understand is that these are designed to only be used with Bose subwoofers. They must be wired from a Bose subwoofer to work properly, and the subwoofer must be driven by a powerful receiver, like 100 watt per channel size. So, plan on buying these mini speakers with a Bose subwoofer and the whole setup connected to a good sized receiver.

Mr Clark I am not able to answer your question at this time. We are working on getting our new system set up and are making sure our speaker system will match up. I have found that contacting R/S Cust Service to be helpful with some of our concerns in setting up our system. If you don't get the answer to your question there, I have found that local audio shops can also be helpful. BC

Idk I only use two speakers and mine works great. You might wanna make sure that all of your speakers are plugged in correctly

This particular switch is pretty much set up for 4 speakers.......there is an "A" output and a "B" output. The switch will allow you to operate A separately or B separately or Both at same time. You could conceivably wire the 5th speaker in with one of the other speaker hookups....

There is only two outputs for speakers. If you used a sub-woofer, then that would have to be one of the output speakers and would have to be self-powered. You could split the speakers but then you would lose your impedance and sound quality would probably suffer. This is a very basic, portable system that is designed to be totally self-contained. Hope this helps!

I am using mine to connect two subwoofers to one sub-out on my receiver and it works perfectly. It should work for you to do that too.

In my experience with the Bose cubes, they receive their signals from the subwoofer of the Bose system, not directly from the receiver. This sub is not designed to work in that way, so I would have to say the cubes would not be working in the way they were designed to work. However, I have never tried to drive the Bose cube speakers directly from the receiver/amp. This is a GOOD sub, though.

It has outputs for 4 subwoofers, but each are paired up as if they were two. In other words, you can only set distance/level for the first pair and second pair independently, not all 4 independently. Also, Audyssey will EQ the first two as a pair and the second two as a pair.

This is a two channel or stereo amp. A sub woofer is designed to go with a surround system which has 5 or more channels. Like the other commenter said, your 50 watt speakers can risk damage if you turn the volume up to loud. Also, you could add another pair of similar speakers to balance it out. Each channel on this amp has outputs for 2 speakers, left and right. So you could run 4 speakers at once, 2 for the left channel and 2 for the right channel. 2 speakers rated at 50 watts for each channel should work nicely. This is somewhat like the setup I have. For each channel I have a large floor standing speaker (at least 75 watts) and a smaller speaker to reproduce the treble or higher end of the frequency. This is a two channel or stereo amp.

Should not hook tweeters directly to a radio or amp unless they have a built-in crossover network. Radio Shack used to sell a super tweeter like this. I still have a pair that work great. Suggest purchasing crossovers which divide the frequencies to each type of speaker. Example is the high frequencies go to your tweeters and the low frequencies go to your woofers. This also prevents the low frequencies going to the tweeters and the high frequencies going to the woofers which decreases sound quality. Suggest 3 way crossovers to supply signals to a woofer, mid-range and tweeter. Always purchase two of all speakers (left and right) to be balanced. Strongly recommend the Pyramid TW188k. Outstanding sound quality. Hope this helps.

If you are talking about two different sound sources feeding into one set of speakers, I don't know about that. If you have two rooms, both with a set of stereo speakers that you want to wire for sound, but only have one stereo source, this device, properly installed, will allow both rooms to be on simultaneously, or either room on alone. And it works great.

I'm no stereo geek but I'll try to answer your question. This systems has two speaker connection points so you could connect 4 speakers but the two speakers on the "right" connection would act in unison as would the two on the "left" connection so I don't know what you'd gain. Hope that's helpful to you.

I simply sat the tweeters on my two front speakers. Ran a wire from each - and + on the tweeters right into the - and + on my front speakers. They have built in crossovers so it seems to work fine this way.
