Ahhh. . You want to run this with your factory Bose??

Head over to the Audio forum, you'll get more answers - I'll steer Bogus in here.

adaptors suck.

and I can never remember how they work for these older bose units...

a couple of thoughts:

1) 2 12"s? you are nuts, right? Do you know how loud that will be? damn.

2) ditch everything, do it right.

this needs to be moved...

I wish!!!!
Had to settle with Infinity Perfects since I got 3 of them for less than the price of 1 W7.
PS. It wouldn't sound good for long because in no time you would be deaf
