I've been trying to connect two set of Bose 901's to Sansui G901 I must have the connections wrong because the system sound super tinny
It sounds like you may have only the 901 loudspeakers, and not also the companion 901 equalizer box. You must install the 901 equalizer properly--using the tape monitor loop of the G901 receiver. If you of not, the 901 loudspeakers will perform poorly.
Hi. Sounds like the EQ is either not functioning correctly or you have made an incorrect connection. Broadly speaking the EQ will accept a normal line level signal from your amplifier (Line Out, Tape Out or Pre Out/Main In) and will change the response curve of the sound to suit the 901s. The signal is then routed back into your amplifier's power amplifier and finally to the speaker input terminals on the 901s. Be sure to choose the correct switch position on the EQ depending on how you use it. Here is a link that explains the setup clearly with diagrams. Hope this helps.,
Don.

If you plan to use them with a home theater, you will need a seperate amplifier, as most a/v receivers don't have tape monitors. With an integrated amp hook rec out to the input on eq hook output on eq to playback on tape mon. with seperates hook pre amp out to input on eq, output on eq to power amp input.

Just remove the Pre-Out to Main In jumpers and connect the Active Equalizer there. This way it will affect only the power output to the amp and speakers but not to any of the Tape Loops. If you need more, look around on Fixya for 901 advice and you'll find about a million posts by me for many scenarios, including multi-channel.
