  If your Bose Subwoofer's power LED is on but you're not getting any sound, first, ensure the VOLUME control is turned up. Also, check that the volume control on your instrument is also turned up. Verify that your instrument or audio source is correctly plugged into the appropriate input connector. If the loudspeaker is getting input from the subwoofer, ensure the subwoofer is powered on.

Why does my Bose Subwoofer have poor bass response?
- P
  patricksanchezAug 26, 2025
  To address poor bass response with your Bose Subwoofer, if using the loudspeaker without the subwoofer, make sure the EQ switch is set to FULL RANGE. If using the loudspeaker with the subwoofer, check to see if the POLARITY switch is in NORMAL mode. If there is a fair amount of distance between the subwoofer and the loudspeaker, setting the POLARITY switch to REV may improve bass. If using two subwoofers, make sure that the POLARITY switch is in the same position on each subwoofer.

  If your instrument or audio source sounds distorted through the Bose Subwoofer, try lowering the volume of the connected audio source. If you're connected to an external mixing console, ensure the input gain to the mixing console input channel isn't clipping. If it is, reduce the output of the mixing console.

What to do if a microphone is encountering feedback with Bose Subwoofer?
- K
  Kara HarveySep 9, 2025
  If you are encountering feedback with your microphone when using the Bose Subwoofer, reduce the input gain on the mixing console. Try positioning the microphone so it nearly touches your lips, or try using a different microphone. Use the tone controls on the mixing console to reduce the offending frequencies and increase the distance from the loudspeaker to the microphone. If using a vocal effects processor, make sure it is not contributing to the feedback.
