Congrats @MaSh, on your purchase would be great to hear your feedback on your experience with Bose soundbar connected to other sub via Bass port with Bose proprietary bass module cable I guess?

I was thinking of picking up Bose Smart soundbar myself however wasn’t sure if my velodyne Impact 10 (non-Bose Sub) will be supported when connected to Bass port? When checked with Bose phoenix store he wasn’t sure as well. Any inputs/feedback will be highly appreciated.

Hey hi,

I bought bose soundbar 900 for the only reason that it could be connected to a non bose sub. Bose will not acknowledge it.

The combination is awesome. My svs is recognised as a Bose 700 sub. The auto setup works seamlessly and perfectly tunes the system.

Cabling is all generic. Nothing bose specific. However there is a certain combination that works.

1. 3.5mm male to left-right rca. 3.5mm connects to bose.
2. The rca ends need to go into a stereo to mono cable converter.
3. From the mono end, a single rca to RCA cable goes to your sub lfe port. If you want to use left and right on the sub then add another mono to dual rca cable.
