    Thanks, I'm listening to the rest of this video controlling my $7.50 goodwill amp 😂

    Thank you! I’m a pro AV guy and have 6 of these sitting around from a customer tear out to convert to Sonos. Now I can use them FOR Sonos ports! Super educational!

    Do you think it would work ok to simply hook up a pre-amp to the aux rca connectors? Or is it necessary to use the VCA connector for the volume? Just wondering so I can hook up multiple inputs like a cd player or tuner. Thanks

    I have exactly the same setup only with 3 times the Bose SA-3 amplifier. I want to control all 3 by only 1 potentiometer and i need to know of it's possible to connect only 1 aux input and interconnect the rest by the Bose-link cables via in-out

    Any issues with the unit cutting out when the volume isn't high enough? Mine cuts out and will only stay on at high volume

    Thank you so much for this video Michael, really useful.
    Question: You mentioned that without the potentiometer it operates at about 30% of it’s actual power.. still it DOES have audio output right?
    Before using the VAC output I’m interested in only using the RCA connection but I don’t know if there’ll be any sound.
    Thank you!

      Yes, but it will be very quiet and may go into 'sleep mode' if it doesn't detect a high enough audio signal for a certain period of time.

      I am using it with alexa. I have to keep the volume range from 8/10 to 10/10. If it detects no or low signal for a few seconds, it will go to sleep. Unfortunately this is not configurable using dip switching. Bose showed some cleverness here 😂

      Hi Michael, having issues with amp powering on, green light is once then three blinking quickly. Had it working last week. But now the green light isn’t on all the time. Any suggestions, thanks Peter

    This one is 100w per channel. Bose 251 are better for this
