Sure, if you are handy with electronics and can design your own circuits you could make a box that does what the Soundgate adapter does. 
I think that there are a couple of different adapters available... all cost about $100 or so.
Most people here will tell you to just replace your speakers instead of trying to run the adapter. At a $100 entry cost, you can buy some decent replacement speakers and it will sound much better that the Bose stuff.
Have you checked the C5 FAQ's for information?
