What kind of speakers does a Bose Acoustimass use?

Is there a subwoofer in a Bose system?

Why are the feet on my subwoofer moving so much?

If the screws on the feet are loose, tighten them with a screwdriver. Even if you find them to be intact, the loud vibrations from the subwoofers may be causing them to move too much. The effect is amplified if the feet are unbalanced. Use a level on top of the subwoofer to see if the surface is straight.

What should I do if my subwoofer is not working?

Make sure that your amplifier is capable of handling high volume signals. If it cannot, then either change the amplifier or simply reduce the volume.

Why is there no sub in Bose Acoustimass?

Mathew, the reason you set it for no sub is because when you say there is one, all low frequencies are routed to the sub thorough a completely different connection on the receiver. In this case, that means those frequencies go nowhere, because nothing is connected to the sub output.
