Concern is the amps it produces, the bose requires 1 amp at a range of 15-20 volts. The adapter puts out 2 amps at 20 volts. Will this be a problem?

I typically only leave the power cord in when in need of power but haven't experienced any issues to this point.

It's not an issue since the bose unit will only pull from the adapter what it needs. Not the other way around.

Device draws only as much power as it needs. More powerful chargers prevent overheating.

You will be using the adapter at a current that exceeds its rating. I doubt that you will damage your device. It is more likely that the adapter will burn out or have a shorter life.

I don't think that is a problem. Bose stands behind their product. I have had mine for over a year and it works great like all Bose products! Warranties only count when you buy unreliable components. Bose is not one of those.

this will work perfect for you, this adapter is capable of supplying 6 amps but it's your device that actually determines how many amps it will draw from the 6. So as long as the adapter is able to produce at lease 4.58 amps (and this one is rated at 6 amps) then you're fine. If it were the other way around where your device requires i.e. 10 amps and you used this 6 amp adapter then you'll have a problem, you would burn out the adapter but in your case you're safe.

I don't know the answer to your question. I bought mine strictly for the music. You may be able to go to the Bose web sight and get an answer. I am very happy with my unit. Sorry I could not be of more help.

If you bridge it to get 150 watts you need to use an 8ohm speaker or it will overheat. I used up the 5.1 A&B; speakers on a Yamaha to power surround and an additional B set of speakers in a pool cabana. I have this set up as a third 2 channel amp to power a set of Bose outdoor in ground speakers which are 4ohms each. So far it has worked very well. It's in an enclosed cabinet and the internal fan does turn on when the weather is warm or I have it cranks up. You don't hear any fan noise unless you get close. So I do know it builds up heat. The auto power off and on is a very nice feature.

i first of all am no sound engineer, nor electronics guru...all i can tell is what i did and what worked perfectly for me....i took output signal from xm radio...ran it thru a preamp...then the wa50 sys....split it to bose radio nearby...and remotely to bose radio two rooms away...my impression is it has nothing to do with speakers of any age...that is an amp issue...this only sends a signal...it drives nothing.

My Portable Bose SoundDock also shows 20V == 2A and this adapter works very well.

It needs an actual amplifier, but also using this Preamp with Bose 901s is kind of like having generic Cheerios everyday while there is a freezer full of Filets. You are better off getting a used name brand receiver (preamp and power amp) unless you have a power amp already in which case you will seriously want a better preamp.

Hi Fran, I'm sorry I'm not able to answer your question. However, I believe if the Bose portable has standard connections, the adaptor should work fine.

According to the printed specs on the AC adapter unit that came with my Headphone Amplifier, it will work from 120 to 240 v.

If you connect the amp into the input of the speakers, it should be possible. The only this is, if your Bose speakers can only be raised so much, then adding more power might over-work and strain your speakers, eventually leading them to blow. Try the set up but be careful with raising the volume too high and moderate your equalizing frequencies.

HI Sir, Just little inquiry about the product itself. I have BOSE Acoustimass 5 Series 3 i wonder if it's capable of handling the receiver itself. Since it has a subwoofer stated 10-200W/Channel, 4-8 OHMS may i know if it's compatible with the BOSE and receiver itself. Thanks a lot!

The adapter has a low power output. The head phones need to be internally powered. I set this up for my father, who is also hard of hearing, and ran into a stereo receiver near where sits. He can control the volume as he pleases and could use headphones if he wants. He is very happy with the setup. If you decide to get it, do not forget the optical (fiber) cable. Hope this helps. Joe.

none of the converters worked at all for me. i bought the lighting converter and then the extension and nothing. I tried on 3 different Bose products.

It is 110V when sold in US/Canada, and it is A shame! All other Bose products are 100/240v, so I burned mine. Even if I feel stupid, Please write 110V BIGGER! In 2014 All audio /video components should be able to be plugged evrywhere without adaptor.

Worked well in my 05 with factory Bose. It's a large adapter so it's a tight fit depending on the aftermarket HU. It compensates for the low preamp output on less expensive units.
