What to do with those Bose HT

[nettler7]

Hi
I tried all over internet but no success.
I have old Acustimass 7 double cube HT I installed as rear surround over bass module with no center for rear left and right
As for front I have installed Bose 501 series V


For center speaker I want to use BOSE Acoustimass horizontal center Speaker Series 4

(cause all others are to big for my Home Theat. front furniture). I also use separately on front connected just to my receiver JBL Sub woofer.

My question is:
Do I need for THAT Center one also to go over bass module or I can directly hook up that center speaker into Receiver as "CENTER"
(seller on that site said that I can, but I/m not sure)

Note:
That front JBL sub woofer has also some 4 speaker live wire inputs "IN-OUT"(for 1 speaker)
Idea: If I have to have that Bose bass-module for that center one, can I just connect it over that JBL sub woofer???

My question is also how to setup that sys on Receiver Yamaha HTR-6050 system
What to put for those Bose speakers?
1)As "LARGE" or "SMALL" speakers (for all C, R, L, RL, RR?
2) 6 or 8 ohms
3) How to set LFE/BASS OUT? 2 option: LF and RF with sub woofer,... or just LF and RF(no SBWFR)
4)What FREQ to set? I set 80Hz, do you recommend something else
5) What Sub woofer phase? Normal or Reverse(what in God's name that mean???)

I know that is a lot of questions but I hope you will help me with those questions, if not all, just with the first one "can I connect directly that exact Center speaker into Receiver not connecting it first over sub module"

Tank You and Best Regards

1.) Small - all speakers
2.) 6 ohms
3.) On your Yamaha, you should have an option to set bass/LFE to 'Sub Only' - pick that one
4.) Pairing up your Yamaha and a sub with those little Bose cube speakers, 80Hz isn't going to cut it by a long shot - you need to set it to at least 120Hz, if not higher (which unfortunately is going to localize your sub and not blend very well)
5.) Phase - Normal

Last but not least, this is required reading for you since you came to this forum looking for help

Now that's out of the way I'm going to go take a shower and cleanse myself...

This all I could think of in response to your question:What to do with those Bose :http://forums.audioholics.com/forums/showthread.php?t=62194

They could be used instead of the melons, save the melons blast a bose, a slogan ?

Those cute widdle Bose mini-speakers from the acoustimess set are not made to be run without the bass module. They cannot handle a full-range signal, or anything below 250 hz I believe. The bass module "sucks out" all the big, bad bass that those tiny plastic boxes cannot reproduce and keeps them from having a nervous breakdown.

But, good luck in your endeavours.

It won't make a difference if you hook up that center to the Bose module or not, since you are using a separate subwoofer and proper receiver. That speaker is not going to produce anywhere near the frequency range it needs to cross over with the sub or the Bose module for that matter. Even with the separate sub, you will be missing a wide band of music, television and movie content.
