What kind of speakers does a Bose Acoustimass use?
I just bought a used Bose Acoustimass 5.1 surround system from someone that included 2 front, 1 center, 2 surround, and 2 subwoofer speakers. The regular speakers sound fine but I hardly hear anything coming from the subwoofer.
Is there a subwoofer in a Bose system?
The Bose system does not have a subwoofer. It separates the low range sounds into the bass module, and passes on the high range sounds into the small cube speakers. You could always buy a powered subwoofer and add it to the system by connecting it to the receiver.
Why are the feet on my subwoofer moving so much?
If the screws on the feet are loose, tighten them with a screwdriver. Even if you find them to be intact, the loud vibrations from the subwoofers may be causing them to move too much. The effect is amplified if the feet are unbalanced. Use a level on top of the subwoofer to see if the surface is straight.
What should I do if my subwoofer is not working?
Make sure that your amplifier is capable of handling high volume signals. If it cannot, then either change the amplifier or simply reduce the volume. All in all, subwoofers are an essential item on any audiophile’s list. On the other hand, faulty subwoofers can damage the acoustic experience rather than helping it.

Why is there no sub in Bose Acoustimass?
Mathew, the reason you set it for no sub is because when you say there is one, all low frequencies are routed to the sub thorough a completely different connection on the receiver. In this case, that means those frequencies go nowhere, because nothing is connected to the sub output.
