A: Hi, thanks for reaching out about Monoprice Premium Home Theater Center Channel Speaker, Black Yes, the Monoprice Premium Center Channel Speaker will work as a replacement, but there are two small "technical quirks" you should know about before you hook it up to your Bose system: 1. Wiring Compatibility - Bose systems often use proprietary plugs (small plastic clips) to connect the speakers. The Bose Way: Your current center speaker likely has a special Bose plug on the back. The Monoprice Way: This speaker uses standard spring-loaded terminals. The Fix: You will need to cut the Bose plug off the end of your existing wire and strip the insulation to reveal the bare copper. Then, just insert the bare wires into the Monoprice speaker (Red to Red, Black to Black). 2. The Sound Balance - Bose cube speakers are famous for being very "bright" and tiny. The Monoprice center speaker is actually larger and more powerful than a standard Bose cube. The Benefit: Your movie dialogue will likely sound clearer and "fuller" than it did before. The Drawback: Because it is more efficient, the center speaker might sound slightly louder than your remaining Bose cubes. Since you have a Yamaha receiver, I highly recommend running the YPAO setup (the little microphone that came with the receiver) after you plug in the new speaker. It will automatically adjust the volume of the Monoprice speaker so it blends perfectly with your Bose cubes. If you have any additional questions, we welcome you to contact MyTGTtech at 833-848-8324 every day, between 7am-11pm CST.

A: Hello, thank you for your question. This is a passive speaker meaning that there is no internal amplifier built in. Therefore if you wanted to use this speaker for a record player you would need to have a stereo receiver/amplifier between the record player and this speaker. This speaker will not work alone hooked up to a record player. Hope this helps.

A: Hello and thank you for your question! No, this speaker does not come with speaker wires and it is not meant for a desktop computer unless you somehow connect the computer to a home theater receiver.
