Connecting my Amp to a Bose Acoustimass 20 speaker system

Can any one advise me on how to connect a Bose Acoustimass 20 Sub woofer to my new Sonos Amp - I need to know how the cabling works as the Bose has a customised "Bose" only jack that connects only to a Base amp?

I do not see this will work. The Bose is not just a sub.

Search the internet for the pinout on the Bose sub. I don’t know where you would find a DIN to RCA adapter, but it appears to be what is needed.

Since this is a Bose issue and not a Sono issue, searching a Bose community would probably get better results.

    With some Bose systems the subwoofers is also the amp, connected to the small speakers with a specific for Bose connector. Could this be the case with your set up? Can you post some pictures?

      Thanks 106rallye - you might be correct as the Jewel Cube speakers connect to the sub-woofer and not to the Bose amp/radio/CD player/Aux unit - perhaps you can tell from these pictures?

        Unfortunately, you are right I suspect - that is what Bose told me...
