      Is it legal to build up cheap speakers and sell it as a BOSE speaker because of few branded plastic sticked to them? I'm sure the price will go up a lot because he say its BOSE where it isn't. It's not hate, I just don't wanna be the person who buy this cheap shit thinking its BOSE one. And they will burn soon or sound quality won't let me to enjoy them as much as I expect and paid.

      The second you remove the speaker coils you destroy the woofer, this is not a restoration buddy, this is simply repurposing an item, I have watched many of his videos, and I must say he is truly talented given the right parts he do a fine restoration 👌

    As a professional sound installer I installed no end of these back in the day in restaurants, bars, kids clubs etc, and had no end of issues especially with the bass drivers burning out. After re-visiting a number of installations several times to replace the drivers with genuine Bose units we eventually opted for a cheaper generic driver and never had a moment's problem afterwards. I always thought they were overpriced and under-engineered, though they sounded sort of 'OK' when they worked. Venues only wanted to install them because of the badge on the front.

      I don't agree with you, I believe you don't think about the durability time! I have a bose 3 acousmatic and they are no less than 27 years old, what equipment lasts all this time and costs little? You also didn't take into account the project costs to develop the product. Regarding the burning of the component, it was definitely a poorly applied volume!

    Nice job! I have had a pair of Bose 301s since 1979 when I bought them at Macys on an American military base in the middle of the Pacific. Repaired them once when foam and diaphram started to decay, they are still my main speaker now!

They used to be a store near me that sold them, They no longer carry them. I either need to find a recone kit or find someone to repair them for me

      It's a fast and cheap repair. He got two pot glue on the cone. He built very cheap enclosures, no double baffle. Then he slaps the old Bose plastic surrounds on and will sell them as Bose and not what they are - cheap standard enclosure with a cheap cone - not up to Bose standard (Bose used to be good...these days...not so much). This place is repairing and flipping broken electronics for a quick profit. There is absolutely no craftmanship in what he did.

A pair of Bose 301 - IV sells for around $200, the value of your restoration is multiples of this amount.

    Good video to learn about how these things were originally assembled. I picked up a pair of these used a few weeks back, in pristine shape. But today playing the Bob Ludwig-mastered first vinyl pressing of Led Zeppelin II revealed their biggest shortcoming--plastic in the build. I knew about the plastic, of course, but didn't know how this particular application of it would reveal its weakness. The record is "hot", with strong bass, and at moderate volume the plastic end pieces buzz with a nasty resonance. The tweeter and midrange speakers seem to be the only things that could buzz independently, as they're screwed/bolted into their plastic "carriers" or cages or whatever they're called. I may check that out and see if I can squelch the buzzing by wrenching them down, but I'm not optimistic. I know now why the three series of 301s prior to the series IV are viewed with more favor--much less plastic in the builds of those speakers, though I wouldn't say they're robustly engineered by any means. Even the subsequent series V model looks to have less plastic than the IV. At any rate, thanks for providing insight as to why these crappily-made speakers buzz the way they do.
