The Bose Speaker Wire Adapter Kit is meant for use only with the Acoustimass and Lifestyle Systems. The 3.2.1GS Series II does not have compatible inputs for this adapter.

You can connect a 2.1 system. Connect the front speakers to the subwoofer and then connect the subwoofer to the front out of the card. It is detailed on page 6 of the card's quick start guide.

If you have an output terminal that says external speakers or just speakers, then yes connect directly to speakers. If you're connecting to the earphone jack or audio out, then have to connect to a amplifier and then to the speakers.

I am sorry that I can not help you further, as I am not fiamiliar with your Bose system.. I purchased these for my lifestyle V20. They did work for that. In the case of my unit, all speakers plugged into the base. If this is your case, they should work.

Brian,I'm sorry no one replied to your question. I only just got this system myself last night. You could not just plug your speakers in, because the system uses a proprietary method of plugging the speaker wires into small jacks on the back very similar to telephone jacks. You could splice the open end of the speaker cables to your existing cables, though! Not an optimal choice, I know, but a choice, nonetheless.Good luck!

What 2 channel types do you have?I tried connecting my Bose directly to the PS3's digital optical port, which works perfectly fine. In fact, I think the quality is slightly better than hooking it up from the TV's digital optical output but the only limitation is that you won't be able to output regular tv from your bose speakers.

I really don't know. These mounts have a very specific bolt hole on top of a notch, roughly a half inch below that mate precisely with the speakers. See if you can get a good look at the photo. This is apparently the newest Bose mount interface for the smaller satellite type speakers.

SimonYour setup should work the only problem I see is that the speakers you have may not get enough power but they should sound good, when I setup this speaker it was a pain trying to understand what type of series should they be installed in, but the polk audio has 4 leads red, black green, and white please follow the instructions very carefully and try only one speaker at a time. When this unit is connect correctly it sounds great.

Almost certainly not. Bose would definitely tell you no, but there is a slight chance it would work. You need to be sure about a few things first. Number 1 would be to make sure the wires from the Bose system don't have proprietary ends on them. This would make it difficult if not impossible to use third party speakers. Number 2 would be to verify Ohms and Watts on the Bose and this speaker. Bose is known for using oddball configurations on their equipment in an effort to pigeon hole you into using only their stuff. If both these points checkout then the third party speaker would probably work, but it may have a different sound profile than the rest of the Bose speakers... Almost certainly not.

I am not sure. Bose 161 is a wired speaker. They are connected to a AVR as surround sound speakers. They sound good and I am very happy with it. I think you need a wireless speaker.

You can try to connect it to your sound card with compatible ends or connect directly to speakers with speaker wire. I just use the RCA jack for my surround sound system.

You can easily hook these up to a Logitech 2.1 computer speaker setup and replace the mains. But you do need to make sure that they arent the hardwired type and can accommodate a speaker wire input. Also that the power output of the system is at least as high as the nominal power required by the Polks. I'm doing just this very thing, replacing the two main front speakers with the Polks on a Logitech z5500 system. Already replaced the rears with little Bose cubes.
