FM. I have doubled checked that all connnections are lined up correctly and are firmly pressed home throughout the whole system. , which seems to me to point the finger at the AcoustiMass module as the source of the problem. This module looks nigh on inaccesible though and there is no way of knowing if it is even receiving power as there are no indicator lights on it. I would appreciate any thoughts on the liklihood of a fix being achievable through self help and if so how I might proceed

• Make sure the power connector is inserted securely into the music center, the power cord function at all is inserted securely into the Acoustimass ® module, and the power pack and power cord are plugged fully into operating AC wall outlets. • Be sure to select a source (CD, AM/FM, etc.). • Unplug the music center power pack for a minute, then reconnect it. This allows the unit to reset itself after a power surge or power interruption.
• Increase the volume. • Check to see if MUTE is lit on the display. If it is, press the MUTE button on the remote control to unmute the sound. • Make sure the audio input cable is connected to the music center FIXED outputs, the black connector is fully seated in the music center SYSTEM CONTROL 1 jack, and the multi-pin connector is firmly seated in the Acoustimass module jack. • Check speaker connections. • Make sure the digital audio input cable is firmly seated in the music center AUX jack and the other end of the cable is firmly seated in the connector at the digital source. • Turn the music center off for 10 seconds, then on again, to restore communication between the music center and the speakers. • Check the connections for any external components. Make sure to select the correct source for the desired input. • Be sure the CD is placed correctly, label-side up, in the music center, and the cover is closed. • Disconnect any headphones. • Connect the FM and AM antennas
If you have tried all of the above, here is a contact for Bose.
Its probably the crossover on the acoustimass unit or a fuse unfortunately sodered in the amplifier, also in that same box. you could call bose 18009932673. honestly a new crossover if the thats the prob would cost more than a acoustimass unit on ebay. yes its al lot of trouble to take it apart, proceed carefully. a flat head screwdriver between the two sections will pry it apart after you remove the screws on the panel where the connections are. its easy to damage.
yes the acoustimass is a subwoofer. they are interchangable, just make sure to get one that has the same number of satellite speakers, look closely at the back panel before buying. yes, any local a/v should be able to help you with the fuse, unfortunately its welded in, its kind of a bear to replace, but possible.
