    What to do if neither Bose 901 Speaker System plays any sound?
    • A
      amyevansJul 26, 2025
      If neither of your Bose speakers is producing sound, try connecting them to another receiver or amplifier that you know is working correctly. If the speakers then play sound, the problem isn't with the speakers themselves. Keep in mind that the tonal balance of the 901 speakers will not be correct if the 901 active equalizer is not in use with the second receiver or amplifier.

    How to troubleshoot the 901 active equalizer in Bose Speaker System?

      If you suspect the issue is with the 901 active equalizer in your Bose Speaker System, bypass the equalizer to see if the system works correctly without it. (Note that the speakers will not have any highs or lows.) Also, check that all connections are correct and that none of the cables are faulty.

    What to do if my Bose 901 has distortion at high volume?

      Stephanie MyersAug 6, 2025
      If you notice distortion when the volume is high on your Bose Speaker System, attempt to reduce the volume. If the distortion disappears, it could mean that your receiver or amplifier doesn't have enough power.

    How to troubleshoot Bose 901 Speaker System if one speaker sounds defective?
    • E
      Eric BallardAug 13, 2025
      If one of your Bose speakers sounds defective or isn't playing, don't switch the wires, as this could damage the speaker. Instead, turn off the amplifier and disconnect the wire of the speaker that is not working from the amplifier. Then, reconnect that wire to the other channel. If the speaker now works, the issue isn't with the speaker or its wiring.

    Why do the high and low frequencies seem weak on my Bose 901?

      If the high and low frequencies sound weak on your Bose Speaker System, make sure that the 901 active equalizer is properly connected in the circuit.
