reflected sound can produce distortion and cancel out some sounds as well. I will say a couple of other things about bose' products the direct / reflecting design has it's problems if you have ever heard someone complain about muddy or distorted sound standing waves from reflected sound are the culprit. for the price tag bose carry they should be in a higher quality cabinet.

as for there one dollar drivers ,anything mass produced has a cheaper price tag. their crossovers have inductors, resistors, capacitor, printed board, where i think they skimp is the cabinets. i have been in most of the things i have owned for one reason or another and more or less you see similar parts inside bose' products as you would other makes.
Bose 901 equalizer series#
i have had many pair of bose speakers over the years and none have stayed, 4001, 201sereis iv, 301 series i ,6.2, 501series v, 901 series i, 101, accoustimass am5.

the design that were once innovative are old and bose has been skating by on 30-40 year old designs. now let's not get it twisted i don't love bose ,they are just ok and have 1or2 descent products. they figured out a couple things, like the nature of direct and reflected sound like at concert or a hall, they figured out that small drivers respond quicker and more accurately. bose is a unique company with a product that was innovative and cutting edge at one time. I am not surprised that someone come out and say this sort of thing about bose. Their 901 speakers used one dollar drivers in these models. 5 ohm load and there are 9 drivers in each so you would end up with super low ohm load and most of your high end amps will do 4 ohm maybe 2ohm but what you would have if you paralell all 9 drivers in one case would be ridiculousīose uses the cheapest and junky parts in their speakers and equalizers I know I use to sell Bose products years ago.
Bose 901 equalizer driver#
The post where the fella said he rewires them in a parallel that wouldn't work that well because these driver are like 1 ohm each so paralell 2 and you have a. i figured if i were to have some 901's i would get some series 5or6 and get a giant as i am told 100 watts just barely gets them playing. There is some mystery a bout the 901 eq's some people think they might be dynamic meaning they change with the program material. will a typical stereo eq work, yes for the most part but i found that some things were difficult to get sounding good or correct it was a hassle. i picked up a pair of series 1 for about $200 from ebay and i bought the series 1 because of the clothe surrounds on their drivers any how i figured i could find the eq later and i could have for about as much as i payed for the speakers.

the difference in the series mostly were the drivers and secondly the cabinets changed. now the eq's are split like so series 1 and 2, series 3and 4, sereis 5 and 6, i had a pair of the series 1 and learned how the series were broken down so if you have series 4 speakers you may look for a series 3 eq as well as a series 4 eq. I would look for one on ebay or if you have any pawn shops you could check periodically.
