A:AnswerIf the question is only would the bluetooth connect if you did that, I believe the answer would be "most likely". However, there are issues about electrical code / fire hazards, ect., so Bose is playing it safe with their installation instructions.
A:AnswerI’ve read online that people reset everything and then wrap the 700 bookshelf speakers in a microfiber towel then run ADAPTIQ. The towels cause it to play quieter making them get louder in the set up. So when you’re done running ADAPTIQ remove the microfiber towel and it should be significantly louder. I would also recommend disconnecting the subwoofer during the ADAPTIQ process as it turns the bass down to far for my taste. I plug it back in after ADAPTIQ but you can also just turn up the bass later in the app.
