i felt like i was in roller coaster
They’ve used high quality electrical components, I see why it’s costly
Thanks for chiming in here. Good to know. 👍
Companion 5 better than companion 3 series II?
Not sure
You need to remove the black T8 screws from the back then using a heat gun or better yet a blow dryer and some patience with a blade or guitar pic etc to remove the black sticker surrounding all the ports. There are 5 hidden phillips screws under that sticker needed to remove the back.
The Computer Guy thanks!!
Trying to open the back of the woofer box, first I removed the five visible Torx 8 screws. But the back cover showed no sign of getting detached. I carefully looked for other screws and there didn't seem to be any. Thought some kind of adhesive was still holding the back cover, I forced it open only to discover 3 more screws with phillips head under the black sticker. (Model: Bose Companion 3 Series II). Later, I had to carry out some repair job on the MDF box with wood glue. Hope this information is of some use to someone.
I need to take the front grill off mine without destroying it to clean. Something got spilt on it and it looks awful. Tried prising the sides but wont budge. Any help would be great thanks
Paul Worrall hi Paul I believe the front just pries off but you have to evenly work it off with a flathead screwdriver or even better a strong plastic pry device that won’t bust. This could keep from damaging it.
0:06 YAY THE BASS IS AT HALFWAY!!!!!!!!!!
Diy technician is the components of the bose companion 3 series ii the same as series i or the newer is better thanks
Not sure to be honest
Do u know if the bose companion 3 ii is better than logitech z625
buenas tardes yo tengo una bosina igual al del vídeo y ya no me encendió, que podrá ser?
Sorry my Spanish is rusty but I think you are saying you have a speaker and you can’t turn it on?
My boss touch on off volume control not working .How to solve
Do you have power to it?
ihave this kind model..problem is not outpot from power supply
I just saw a video and it shows you that you don't have to use it for the speakers to work. You should look at it. I have the same problem.
Hi im having problem with a bass of mine. Its sounds like its coming off but its not. Bass is not so good it sounds like its vibrating. Any tips or ideas?
No sorry. I’m far from an expert on these but I can rip em apart good😊
After having problems with the sub and opening it up, it now rattles slightly even set at minimum ....any ideas
Gut feeling is blown speaker but I’m far from being an expert.
Specs for this sub, size and wattage? My sub just started distorting recently and I’m about to take it apart, wouldn’t mind upgrading sub/amp if possible. Also my amp gets way hot way fast and output is way lessened, I’m guessing years of use have degraded caps/etc? Anyway to upgrade this would be great as I really dig the aesthetics and don’t want to replace, rather upgrade :)
Not sure. Someone may be able to answer in comments. Sorry yours isn’t standing the test of time. Sounds like your not alone.
Mine also heating way to fast i want to change the plate amplifier
The recording is too fast and the point is not visible in the video. For example the kind of amplifier ic... But I think it can be TDA 72 series. We can see more times the screws and screwdriver than the part of pcb. Sorry.
Well I’ll try to slow it down next time. Thanks for the input
@@DIYTechnician Great. Thanks. ☺
Bose is asking to pay 467 dollars for this conventional subwoofer cabinet architecture! Damn!
Wow! Thanks for the quote. Seems hardly worth it.
Still sounds better than 99.6% of all pc speaker sets on the market. And no, Bose sold the companion 3 series ii for 199 and the companion 5 series ii for 299. The price you’re quoting is PROBABLY from amazon or eBay lol. Morons think if it’s “discontinued from manufacturer” it suddenly becomes a collectors item or something ridiculous lol. I’ve owned both the Bose companion 5 (bought at Bose store in King of Prussia PA for 279 on sale) and I’ve owned the “famed” Logitech Z5500 system and to be honest the Bose system with SMALLER sub and 3 less speakers sounded far and beyond better than the Z5500 set did. The Z has a 10in sub with some ridiculous like 188w RMS (and over a thousand watt peak power for the system) yet the “conventional architecture” of the Bose was better. I’m not a fanboy, I just give credit where credit is due lol. Idk how they do it....cheap paper cones, and cheap MDF cabinets yet they sound like Kevlar cones in mahogany cabinets 🤣😂
With that rant out of the way, if you can pick a companion 5 up for under 200 (since let’s face it, it’s old now and you shouldn’t pay retail, let alone more than retail) you won’t be disappointed!
Kyle Brey that's not true, many sets, even Sony makes a 2.1 set which is far more worth it and sounds great! In India, we have brands like F and D audio which also makes quality sound systems.
Hey DIYTechnician! I need your help! i have this model and the aux port or "Computer In" aux port is all messed up. It only works in certain angles....where can i get a replacement? Can you Help? (this is to "outdated" for bose to assist or have parts on hand) - please reply
Jesse Benjamin man i don’t know off the top of my head but let me research it and see what I come up with.
@@DIYTechnician that would be greatly appreciated!! Want to fix this beautiful piece asap lol
Looked all over. Nothing at any retail stores around here either. Checked online and Google kept sending me to different Bose websites.
Does anyone know the driver size of the Bose bass module 500 subwoofer? How many watts?
Rich Kutney sorry man not sure
@@DIYTechnician ... I would love to see someone disassemble the 500 subwoofer module.
Rich Kutney haha noted. If I come across an old one I’ll do it.
I think it's a 8 inch sub with round about 100 watts. The bass module 700 is a 10 inch for sure.
It's bose rich.so its shit
What is the IC chip number
I have no idea. I pulled this Bose speaker apart out of curiosity and tossed it after that. Didn’t take note of the IC number. Maybe someone who reads the comments can help. Thanks for watching.
What amplifier cheap they are using.
stanley chin i yes think cheap amplifier is
@@DIYTechnician so sorry for the wrong type,I mean amplifier chip.
stanley chin hi Stanley. Not sure what type of amplifier chip is used.
I think there is the cheap one ic from the TDA 72 series. Depend of output power. for example TDA7294 etc
How can i buy audio spare parts of companion3 series 2 multimedia speaker system
How can i get spare parts for audio circuit board for replacement pls. reply
@@georgecada1981 Is it the pod that is not working? My light does not go on and it no longer works. There is a video that shows you that you don't need the pod. They are very expensive.
WHERE IS THE WAVE GUIDE , IT DOESNT HAVE?
Not sure
Ko biết quay phim
I'm done with Bose, I need a power supply board for my sound dock 10, these thieves don't make that board anymore, so I asked the tech what I supposed to do with my stereo throw it away and this incompetent PO💩TOLD ME YES, SO I LAUGHED AND HUNG UPON HER. 500 DOLLARS PO JUNK.NOW I HAVE SEND THIS BOARD ALL THE WAY TO UK JUST TO GET IT REPAIR BECAUSE OF BOSE CHEAPLY MADE PARTS, I'm GOING WITH A JBL OR YAMAHA OR SONY SYSTEM.
Ok gotcha
please improve the quality of video
Binnish K K you think thats bad, you should see my other videos!
whats the round thing in the bottom?
Can you be more specific? Approx how far in the video?
@@DIYTechnician 1:55
I dont know the official name for it but it was some kind of coil. Very heavy too.
@@DIYTechnician You must be kidding right? Lol! Its a transformer.
Bose's product but made in china?
Subhodip Chowdhury i just did a quick google search and it said bose products are made in the U.S., Malaysia, China, and Mexico. Thanks for posing the question.
@@DIYTechnician i watched your vid. I don't think that it is a real bose product. The internal components are really shit and look very very cheap. Seems like you have bought it from ebay at a low cost. "Made in china"-- china can clone humans also 🤣
No, that’s a real Bose. I can tell cuz that’s definitely a Bose speaker unit on the front. That odd shaped mount, large foam surround, and thick paper cone are found in many acoustimass systems. And I don’t know what’s cheap about a large metal plate on the back with a heat sink, and a large circle shape transformer. The box may be a little thin, but that is typical newer Bose products.
Isme to 8 inch woofer lagna chaiye
ikr? I thought it'd at least be an 8 inch but its so small
@@vaibhavsingh1888 its 6 inch or 15cm what ever.. it is pretty heavily playing at its capable limits - it goes down to about 30-33 Hz (-3db) depends how you place it and is "dead" at about 26-28 Hz.. which is crazy for this size.. and it really rumbles for its size though it sounds very wet and sometimes unconrolled due to this massive dsp hitting that small driver.. I prefer an 8 inch sub which goes maybe to 35-40Hz but than sounds clean and dry than having a small 6 inch going deeper but why more boomy.. wet/muddy.. uncontrolled.. sounding one. :) My Teufel Concept C 8 inch officially plays to 40Hz (-3db) on paper (Bose has NO technical specs listed) but actually hits down to 35Hz and is dead at 29-30Hz which is about 4-5Hz higher but man.. this thing sounds super clear - housing has 0 movement/vibration no rattleling just pure "bass tones" which creats at higher levels some power which the Bose cant its just a different.. sound.. dont know how to discribe it but the bass sounds cheaper/weird from bose compared its more obvious while the Teufel is still punchy and there but at the same time "hides" itself if you know what I mean. I have to give the bose at some music titles and movies it does add some richness which isnt really there like artificially adding bass which works sometimes with that wet and not so tight bass "shaking" more because the bass waves are "staying" longer due to that adding richness but less crisp bass more like one muddy solid "boom" than a crisper drier "rrt rt rrrrrt rrt" bass. :D So in the end it depends for movies its ok sometimes better on pc but music is more cleaner with a 8 inch because again the 6 inch is using so much dsp that sometimes you hear its limiting out with uncontrolled boomy rattles on higher volumes. also bose uses loudness on an extreme way.. on lower volumes the bass is super overplayed with no highs and just little mids and turning it up bass rapidly shrinks (doesnt really get louder) while mids and highs are getting louder and louder adding way more highs and less bass.
Hi
very shaky video
Partha Mukherjee my apologies, appreciate the input for this bose speaker disassembly video. Any suggestions? I tried to capture the experience up close and rapid time.
Anyone else now have vertigo?
Sorry dude. Tried to step it up a little since then. Thanks for watching.
@@DIYTechnician it’s all good friend, it was helpful nonetheless! Thank you!
this guy calls himself technician but doesn't have any technical knowledge. This is a Shakey and unuseful video. Didn't show speaker wattage, also didn't show Amplifier IC.
Its just a name my friend. I know nothing about bose speakers to be honest.
@@DIYTechnician Ok, I appreciate your effort but assuming you don't know electronics circuits... please try to show the Speaker Ohm-Watt and the Pre-Amp/Main Amp ICs number. That will be useful video. unless it means nothing. PS: It's not only for Bose, any company's speaker
@@IceJackal1984 noted. Thanks for the feedback.
Worse video I have seen in a long tome on CZcams. Congrats!
You obviously havnt seen my other videos:)
I see, the point of this is? not good man. Try to strip a Mercedes benz door and shit you not it looks cheap and not worth paying Thousands of dollars! try opening a VELODYNE sub next time you will see the same ugly cheap looking inards!😂
Made sense at the time. Hold my beer.
Can’t say I’ve stripped a Mercedes door but I’d give it a go if given the opportunity.
What a joke are Bose products, made a cheap as possible, and Bose fanboys will defend Bose reputation with their lives Jajajajajajajajajajajajajajajaja 😂😂🤣🤣
I’m no expert on them but have lots of feedback on here about them being cheap. Have a bose speaker now that has had issues since it came out of the box. Thought maybe it was just the bad luck.
