I bought a BOSE Companion III Speaker system a year and half ago. The RCA connectors on the back of the bass cabinet are very cheap and wiggling and loose! I only plugged in the cabinet once during the past 2 years, so it's not like I have put a lot of wear or strain on those RCA jacks. Problem is now that both jacks wiggle freely and one channel is totally out. I cannot figure out how to open the cabinet in order to replace the female RCA jacks. It looks like BOSE has used a microscopic, small star screw head. I hate like hell having to go out and buying a set of bits just to loosen 6 screws. I'm so pissed off at BOSE for selling such crappy RCA hardware on a speaker system I paid nearly $300 for!! Any ideas would be appreciated.

Hi, ok the Bose Acoustimass III system consists of two small cube speakers and one subwoofer unit called the Acoustimass bass module. If the subwoofer stops working, three points can be the cause of the failure. The Bose Acoustimass III is a passive system, meaning the speakers do not power themselves, but instead are connected to a receiver or amplifier. Thus, the amplifier, the speaker between the amplifier and the subwoofer, or the subwoofer itself could be the issue.
Things You'll Need:
* Amplifier * Speaker cable * Extra subwoofer
Instructions
Disconnect the speaker cable from the back of the Bose Accoustimass bass module and connect it to a subwoofer that is known to be working. If the subwoofer works, the bass module needs to be replaced.
Disconnect the speaker cable from the back of the receiver or amplifier you are using and from the back of the subwoofer in Step 1.
Connect a speaker cable that is known to be working between the back of the receiver or amplifier and the back of the Accoustimass module. If the module starts working, then the cable was the issue.
Disconnect the speaker cable from Step 3 from the back of the amplifier or receiver, then connect the cable to the subwoofer port on the back of an amplifier or receiver that is known to be working. If the subwoofer works, the receiver was the issue. If the subwoofer still does not work, verify that the speaker cable is in the subwoofer port of the receiver/amplifier and that the cable is connected securely to the subwoofer.
If you think you did the connection properly,Fine... If not you can use the manual from the below link and know how to connect it properly..

Using a knige or razor blade, lift the edge of the rear sticker up. Do this evenly and you will fnd all the screws that hold it together. Take your time and you can put the sticker back down.
currently trouble shooting Bose Companion 2 computer speakers, no sound from speaker, would like to know how to open cabinet to see if wires are attached to speaker?
Hello Adam Hi, it looks like your main IC amplifier inside the main bass box is bad, need to replace that IC. What are your plans, do you want to do the repair or have it service by a tech guy.
My Companion 2 speakers were having the same problem with the rattling on certain frequencies and I am happy to say that Steve Allison was correct in my case. The speakers don't handle surround settings very well so if you're running your speakers through a source that had that setting turned on the easiest way to stop the rattling is to just turn the surround setting off. The speakers weren't really made to handle that kind of a signal.
If you're saying you hooked the Bose speakers directly to the Yamaha's amp instead of the prescribed way through their own bass module - they're cooked.
I bought a set of Bose companion 3 speakers and the darn RCA jacks are cheap and wiggling loose. The cost to send back and repair out of warranty is about $125!! BOSE companion speakers may sound good, but for my money, I'd rather go with more reliable computer speaker systems like Creative or Logitech. BOSE IS WAY TO OVER-RATED, but HEY....they suckered ME out of $275!!!
