Tuesday, August 18, 2009 - 00:11 GMT Hi Mark, Looks like you're 'Guru' for the Bose systems, I have old model Lifestyle 5 Series III base module ( Subwoofer) it has a 5pin DIN connector and two speaker out connectors ( like RCA type) and I have Harman Kardon Receiver I need to connect only the Bose subwoofer to my receiver. ( I have connected Bose 301 speakers separately) I don't have any cable to connect and do you have any idea what could be the 5pin DIN cable connection? I could make a one for this. some article says 5pin DIN connection like this, 1= +12 volt don't need it 2= R- and L- 3= L+ 5= R but I need an expert advice on this.

Tuesday, July 27, 2010 - 16:54 GMT Thanks for posting. I used your configuration and it appears to be correct. Using another site, I learned the numbering of the socket holes are (holes facing you, with the holes forming an upward arch): From the left: 1-4-2-5-3 #2 is the middle and the common ground #5 is the right (+) #3 is the left (+) I used a Radio Shack 5-pin MIDI cable. It had five wires: The shield = #2, the black wire = #3 and the yellow wire = #5. Hope this helps.
