The Bose will have a rectifying circuit in the unit that converts the AC to DC voltage.
A DC adapter rectifies the AC to produce a DC current and should work but because the DC current passes through a rectifer twice, it will reduce the voltage to slight below 12 volts and the speakers may not product a volume level the same as it would with a 12 AC adapter.

I need to know the voltage of the speaker for ac adapter matching

The speakers may have a label that has the voltage printed on it.
You can check the Bose WEB site for the specs of your model speakers. You need to know the polarity of the connector, if you get it wrong you could destroy your speakers.
You may need to contact Bose support if the specs do not help you.

I only need the AC Adapter Campanion 2 for my Bose spearkers. How can I find just the adapter?

Look where the AC adapter would plug in.
Look for "rating", e.g., 'DC' or 'AC',
and '6V' or '9V',
and look at the size/shape of the plug.

Then, go to a "Dollar Store" or "Thrift Store", and try to match the ratings and the plug-layout with the available inventory.

Or, contact BOSE, and see if you can buy it from their web-site.
