Henry, I'm a little confused by your question. Yes you can hookup the Bose center speaker to your Sony A/V receiver; and , yes you can hookup your Bose speaker to your Acoustimass module, however if you are capable of powering your Acoustimass module from your Sony receiver, why then wouldn't you hookup the center channel speaker directly to the Acoustimass module? I would believer this would add more continuity and integrity to the power driven to your center speaker.

Not real certain: I just swapped out my current center speaker; removed the wires going to the Samsung speaker and placed the Bose instead. Works very well.

Hi Henry,Yes, you can definitely hook it up to your Sony AV Receiver as a Center Channel. I did the same thing. I was absolutely amazed at the detail from the Bose Acoustimas. I have a decent buck invested in my AV setup and was used to larger speakers but I could not believe my ears! I've had Sony speakers now on Yamaha but my center is and will remain An Acoustimass!

I am not familiar with Bose so I do not know if it would help. I went into Bose System web site and searched the AWACCP but nothing came back. I looked at photos and some unit are stand alone and others have a component that it sits on. When I made the purchase it said it worked. It doesn't work unless you buy the other component. This was a huge omission of vital information. A lie....hmmm

The receiver does not have speaker terminals for the subs instead it has a sub out which means that the output is preamp so passive subs won't work. Active subs (powered) are solution to the power need to the amplifier to reproduce deep low frequency. If you can't part with the bass module, this receiver is not for you. Otherwise just replace the bass module with a powered sub just realize it probably can't compete with the Bose bass module.

the unit hooks up to the bose radio unit which has speakers built in. Also, some units are nt compatable. Check with Bose for details

Have done all this, but how do I get 5.1 sound from the external source? Sound only coming through the front speakers. What input should I be using on the receiver to get 5.1 sound from the external source? TIA.

You would have to purchase a special jack to hook to your Bose system. It does not come with the speaker. I would suggest you call Bose to ask what kind of jack would be needed.

Hi Fu, you can attach an external amplifier on the Sony Stereo Receiver. This stereo receiver supports both 5.1 and 7.1 channel speaker system. -Vincent

I don't believe it will work as part of a surround sound setup. The input is optical and so I don't believe you can setup the amp to output via the optical port the centre speaker.

I have an AV Receiver that is 5.1 and have my center, 2x front and my powered sub directly plugged into the AV Receiver. My two rear speakers use the Soundcast SCS100 SurroundCast System.But as Spirit of 76 said, you cannot run a powered subwoofer in addition to the two speakers through this system. The powered sub will need to directly connect to your AV Receiver.

Bose keeps wattage ratings on speakers a secret. I am driving this Acoustismass center channel speaker with a 140W per channel Sony surround receiver and it performs flawlessly on the high end. Hope this helps.

you can hook it to the speakers via the RCA outs, the A5+'s will control the volume level of the sub along with the speakers. Just get the sub volume where you like it, then forget it as the a5+'s will do the rest.

You'll need to buy a digital interface that will accept a Toslink input and output analog connectors that your AV Receiver will accept...unless you AV Receiver has an optical digital (Toslink) input somewhere on the back...which it should if it's not too old. I send the Toslink output to digital interface that converts it to coaxial digital output (bought on Amazon) and then on to a DAC that accepts the coax digital...said DAC then outputs with red and white analog outputs that go to my preamp (AVR for you). Check the back of your AVR and see it there's a optical digital (Toslink) input. Good Luck JM

If the Bose Acoustimass 6 Series II system has individual speaker outputs for each speaker. Then yes It will. All you will have to do is plug in the Bose SL2 transmitter into the R/L rear speaker outputs and then set the Bose SL2 receiver in the rear of your room and run the wires from the SL2 receiver to your speakers. It's that easy!!! Hope that this helps .....Gerald

you can hook these speakers up to a non-bose receiver or amp which i've done before. You'll have to do some tinkering with the speaker wires to make it work. These bose speakers require the new connectors whcih you can purchase anywhere on amazon. The other end of the speaker wire would have to be plugged into your receiver or amp with banana connectors or other terminal ending. It's definitely easier if you connect them to a bose subwoofer but it's not a requirement. Hope this helps.

I'm not familiar with the Bose Lifestyle System and how it would interface with another speaker, but this FiiO will convert the optical signal from your TV, allowing an analog speaker or other analog audio hookup.
