Default Bose Wave radio tunnel

hello folks
on the Google catalogs, Bose have theirs there,
anyway there's a nice picture of the Wave radio with the top removed,
from the pic its seems only the left channel has the TL tunnel !!!
I suppose for the extra bass that's all you need, or doe sit have a top
tunnel for the right channel
in the top halve of the casing.
if anybody has taken one to bits, could they enlighten me.
regards malcolm

Bose is using a very resonent speaker system to allow relatively high
bass SPLs for a small package.

The downside is that it is resonent over a very narrow bandwidth. Move
just 4 or 5 notes away from the resonent frequency and responce drops by
20 db or more. Unless you like classical music sounding like rap, this
is not a good thing.

it looks like they have a different left speaker to the right one from the
pic.

Oh, I don't know. The 802 PA speaker is pretty good. The wave radio
just booms, to my ears.

I still have nightmares about Bose 802s! We used eight or ten of them on
a PA rig when I was in university, for smaller rooms or occasionally for
foldback. The equalisers were prone to expiring at no notice. They were
quite good when used as stepladders though, as they would stack nicely.
The cabs would take all kinds of abuse, but those equalisers were a
horrible idea, IMO.

Was it the 802 that used a light bulb for protection? I seem to remember
seeing them self-illuminate when driven a bit too hard, but it's a lot
of years ago, so it may have been some other speaker entirely.

ouch - 802s for foldback, far to wide dispersion. A L-R stack works well
though, but the old adage stands (I still have four of them) - I hear no
highs, I feel no lows, it sounds quite naff, it must be Bose. Still work
well for speech / lght acoustic stuff and the EQ is fine if you hit it
before every gig.

No. It was some other speaker entirely.
